You reckon? I dunno..i havnt had that much success with customs on Ebay....then again i havnt really made many to sell on there. You think its worth a try? Maybe just to see i could put some stupidly high reserve on it and see how far people are willing to bid for it

.

I can guarantee one thing...i wont let this go cheap!

I say make the starting bid the amount it was to make it so then you at least end up with what you had before

Yeah but trouble with that is people see a huge starting price and so they wont bid, its put people off.

The idea would be to get people to bid and see how far up they are willing to go. If i set a reserve of something stupid like $200 bidders wont be able to see the reserve and so will try to outbid each other to reach the reserve. Once the bidding ends and it doesn't make $200 but only say...$85 i know that people are willing to pay at least $85 for it and so i wont bother re-listing it as id rather keep it than sell it for that.

Wow....imagine if they met my fake reserve though and it went above that and beyond? Heh, not likely though...its only a toy.

EDIT:

Ok here are some more pics for ya. I dont have a lightbox or any good lighting so i kinda half-assed them.

I think i might re-do this though, i like how it looks but i just dont feel entirely satisfied, like something is missing.
Im not entirely happy with how some of the paint turned out, but then again i did use what was basically old recycled paints so it didnt cost me anything to paint so maybe if i invested in some fresher paints that will help next time. Who knows?

All i know is im not happy with this, i feel like i can do so much better and i KNOW i can so i'll probably get another voyager Prime one day and revisit this. For now this will have to do ya.

Sonray! Holy farkin ****!!! This is easily the best Voyager Prime I've laid my eyes on. Those hands definitely are a good idea. Those stupid skeleton hands they put on him at the factory are completely useless.

Great paint choice, and those flames are done very well. You make a tough paint job look easy!

The robot mode looks good to me. I like the sword as well, the only thing I noticed was the flames on the hood/fender section in truck mode look a little rough.

Hey man awesome job! would you mind telling how you made the sword, and how it connects to Prime's arm?

Deathwing,i don't think sonray can read your comments,he got banned by "random selection" a while ago.
Too bad,he might respond a little touchy to criticism,but his bashes are nice.
