They're just going for the keyword searches with a tactic like that

"NEW MIB TFCON BOTCON MOVIE OPTIMUS PRIME actually skids"

You laugh - I've seen that, and it was indeed movie skids.

A common and somewhat hilarious practice. 'Masterpiece' has also an insane amount of figures on Ebay. MP Barrage and such.

From times to times, love to see the most expensive listings for TF toys.

----------------

How about MP-01 MP-01B MP-02 MP-03 MP-04 MP-05 MP-06 MP-08 MP-08X Lot of 9 MISB AFA 90/85

Only US10000$ + US500$ of shipping.

Oh lol, AFA you so crazy.

-----------------

Love 2007 movie Optimus Prime voyager class? Love it so much you want it in GOLD?
Transformers Lucky Draw Gold Optimus Prime Twin Blaster
Only US6000$. No AFA bull this time. FREE SHIPPING!

Granted, only 3 exist. If I was a millinaire, I would buy it, OPEN IT, transform it, and put him in fun action poses. Of course, pictures would be posted. Then I'd light up my cigar with a 100$ bill.

-------------------

Then, there's that complete-in-box Fortress Maximus for 3500$ but that's old news.

Only a lil strange type of listing is one thats up now I think or just closed.

It has 2 Targetmasters Slungringer and Misfire (slugslinger is mispelled in the ad i think)
with 2 small robot.

The 2 small robots I cant even identify though they look remotely like a headmaster maybe but still not close.

So im still staring at these guys for $50 and wondering do i dare buy incomplete targetmasters for the body only? are they bodies even>? Maybe if I look right they are a cardboard standee. (just kidding) but they do make me wonder if they are legit or just bad knockoffs in total.

So I didnt buy them but i was tempted a lil (stupid though i can be)

So...where's the "Ha Ha" that I'm missing?

Here's what I see when I click the link, btw:

I can see the hinge for the sword under the roof, plus the edge of the shield underneath the one fender, near the rear wheels. So, what am i missing?

HE KNOWS!

Originally it was listed as Transformers Universe Voyager Inferno.
In the comments, he stated it was missing the water gun + missile.

Once was a Transformers 2007 DVD listed for $5,000. Not signed, nothing special. It wasn't even a Special Edition set, 'twas the bare bones single disc.

It's a fraud.

The exessive price is a way to NOT SELL the item.
He's using this listing to advertise all of his stuff so he can sell them OUTSIDE OF EBAY. If he's willing to fraud Ebay to avoid all fees, just imagine what kind of services he can offer you.

Please be a responsible Ebay user and report his bandit ass to the Ebay mods.

Another malpractice are the "placeholder" It's written "placeholder" and some random keywords, and it sell for 1000000$. In reality, THERE'S NOTHING FOR SALE. The seller just use one of Ebay's many "list free" promotions to "hold his place" for future sales.
Unless a buyer is stupid enough to throw a million for an empty spot, such listings are a big waste of space and time.
Report them too.

How about 10000$ for a deluxe 2007 Brawl?
It may be a mistake or a "placeholder".
But if the guy is serious, it would be so funny!

EDIT:
At least, the seller was quick to respond to my mail:

Dear kanrabat,

sorry about that ...this item was sold ..so i make it high..i will change to other TF later..sorry..

Well well well... Look like someone is frauding Ebay's rules.

No fraud, just a mistyped price. Looking at his other items, he likes having them end in AU$ xx,99. I guess he missed a comma in this one...

The baseplate that each figure can be displayed on has their name stuck on a small Autobot or Decepticon logo. I think charging an extra $4975 is a bit excessive. And I second your Singapore comment.

Yup! Not from Singapore btw.

Alot of sellers do put items on for very high prices to gauge the market and it is a good although expensive way of doing it. They have no intention of selling it at that price or some sellers even overcharge high on postage.

I personally just research other sales and may even copy there descriptions/ Titles if they go very high and match my item as close as possible. Nothing really wrong with that.
