just lost an awsome auction on ebay with 30 R.I.D. Tfs including Omega, all the combiners,Autobot brothers, and skidz for only $100. So does anyone know where I can get this same deal or similiar deal for a price near $100?

Yard sales and flea markets, but this is through collective time, not at once.

yeah, it's somewhat rare to see a lot that big go for that cheap. All you can do is keep your eye on ebay for more TF lots. If you find TF's at flea markets/yardsales for $3.33 each, they are likely going to be broken/missing parts.

I would've had at LEAST $150 to $200 on that auction, so really it could've gone for alot more... there just weren't any other buyers willing to have a bidding war. I'd bet that the winning bidder had a max bid well over $150.

My point is, don't look around too hard for a deal that good (30 TF's for $100) because you're not likely to see that again for quite some time.

I got 80% of the R.I.D. line off ebay a few months ago for $120 and that included the shipping.Some were MISB/MOSC but all came complete with instructions and boxes.The guy later emailed me the shipping cost him about $60.Obviously he was new to ebay.Good find on your collection seems to be a comparable price.

Yeah really good point. Once you lose something this good you can easily fall into the trap of obsessing with it, and every similar lot that may not actually be that good, or every sale that works out to a per unit price approaching that lot, you might spend more money on than you wished. Believe me, it happened to me a few times when I was new to Ebay, and even now.

That ship has sunk. Move on is the best advice I ever got and I'm passing it to you.

you guys are right I just got mad at losing that auction which is why i went on and made a thread hoping for something but I'm going after a knew lot of TFs so it's all cool

I'm gettin' me a lot of Energon Starsream, Shockwave (shockblast) and cybertron Soundwave I heard that Shockwave and Soundwave were good but is energon Scream any good. He is pretty small
