Would you have payed $500 for ....

MISB all of them:
MP Megatron
MP Optimus with trailer
MP Starscream
Takara #00 reissue Optimus

I guess the seller really needed some cash or just had extra lying around. Who knows???

update: this includes shipping to US.

looks like just average price to me, only mp-4 and book#0 would warrant a price over $100, MP3 and 5 still sell for about $50 to $90.

???? MP3 and MP5 MISB for 50? You cant even get those prices at retail. MP skywarp at retail in Japan is about $70 and he hasnt been released yet. MP4 has been going for way more than $200.

on ebay yeah.. not on the zillion other sites that are available. and my post should say € instead of $, fan2fan is selling it for $79 I think, buying it locally in asia gives you prices near the €50 mark.

Euros have a higher curreny value than dollars. Dont put a dollar sign and mean Euros. MP4 is not being sold by fan2fan, def. not anywhere for less than $200.

lol..

really? I bought my MP-4 for 5000 taiwanese dollars on yahoo
http://tw.f4.page.bid.yahoo.com/tw/auct ... =d26800589
which is $150 right now.

as I said, ebay isn't a good indication.. paying $300 for it is ludicrous..

You need to check that attitude at the door. He made a simple mistake and admitted it.

He doesn't owe you an explanation, and you have no right to demand it. You're just pissed off that he can get his for a relatively cheap price. Sucks to be you, huh?

Im not pissed- Im simply stating that euros does not equal dollars- oh big woop $150- with shipping to US it will bump it up and then there is ins. You need to check your attitude.

Neliz- IM not trying to argue with you, but I pay through the roof when I ship from Japan to the US, maybe its b/c I prefer EMS. I felt it was a good deal with free shipping of all those items. Maybe I should get back into yahoo auctions, but some sellers dont like to send to the US, so I have to ship to a Japan mail drop and then have it reshipped. Thanks for the info on the yahoo auctions though.

I'll just take the cheapest priority, sometimes I wait a week, sometimes two.

as a buyer, you should be weary when they advertise with "discount" or "free shipping" that means that someone has high margins and is now allowing a cut of those margins to a "sane" level.

Yeah...it is problematic. So I assume you get regular air mail or economy air mail rates. The surface mail takes months to get here in the US. Honestly, thanks for the info, not trying to be rude about the euros and dollars difference- I didnt catch the netherlands under your avatar at first. I have a friend that is from your area and we always haggle about price differences like that..lol.

Mate it did sound like you were jumping on him. I'm sure glad you cleared that up. But maybe we all should read each post once or twice before we hit SUBMIT. I am guilty sometimes of shooting off too, and when I return to a forum find out I was taken completely wrong.

Yeah sometimes the rates can really jump... I ended up paying $35 for a encore prime when it was $40 the day before. The price never changed, but it was in Yen.
