The Energon Pub

Hi Folks

Thought i'd set up a thread in regards to stuff you find on ebay, either win's or stuff that just seems to go for silly prices...

So to start with i just won the following (will add links later, at work atm)

HFTD- Sea Spray & Ratchet (white version, neither in box) £9 including shipping!

from same buyer so combined postage

ANIMATED- Prime, starscream, wreckgar, BB, Prowl and ratchet for £10 (none of them in box, but auction states all weapons and instructions included. unfortunatly £16 for postage, but think thats why i got them so cheap, and really wanted Wreckgar!)

So folks, has anyone else had some good wins on Ebay, or seen some outrageous prices on TF's?

In the last week off EBAY my wins have been,

Universe 2.0 voyager Tread Bolt MISB £8.20 inc p&p.
Universe 2.0 voyager Onslaught MISB £15.70 inc p&p.(won last night)
Universe 2.0 voyager Inferno MISB £32.00 inc p&p.

Thanks to the people selling these.

Off the top of my head:

MISB Car Robots Magnus and Fire Convoy with bonus Cybertron Ransack - $45
Lot of 8 Alternators (Prime, Jaguar Ravage, Swindle, Mirage, Deadend, Decepticharge, Rumble, and Grimlock) - $100
Universe Nemesis Prime (Big Convoy mold) - $17
Mint 100% complete Hybrid Style Black Convoy and Hybrid Style G1 Convoy w/ display cases - $175 (I think this is a great deal)
Cybertron Galvatron, Energon Shockwave, ROTF Superion, and Cybertron Sideways lot - $28

Best bargain I can think of is RiD Omega Prime (Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime) mint and complete in opened boxes with original working batteries for £40 total. That's half the original price!

Again last night i won Supreme Cybertron Primus £32.95 unboxed no instructions included 2 missiles, omega lock and 2 cyber planet keys.

Finally Unicron has his competition.

This one was a kind of 'after the fact' win - Loose G1 Targetmaster Cyclonus without nightstick for £12....Got him in the post a few days later with a note from the seller saying he found the gun for the figure....out pops a mint nightstick!

I think the best deals I ever got were Deluxe Ratchet for $25 and a HFTD Seaspray for $5 MISB. I also was lucky enough to get a Wreck-Gar for 6.99 at Marshalls, and some cool guy from Britian traded me a RTS Windchager for a Gen Thunderwing. Those are the ones right off the top of my head. I am a bargain shopper and also, sometimes I am just in the right place at the right time.

Is primus a hard to find figure now? i got mine at toys'r'us about 3-5 year ago for £25, along with giant starscream for the same price...

Gonna have to keep em safe i guess, but he does go with old unicron so well

Im not sure but every time i see him on ebay hes always between £20-£30 + p&p on a stating bid i was very happy to get mine at that price i have seen him go for a fair bit more.

The first one popped out of my head is Universe Ultra class Onslaught. He was in excellent condition and even without instruction, he cost me $5.50.

Not really ebay, but i managed to score a good haul off craigslist. Universe starscream, cyclonus, blaster, heavy load, and an energon insecticon for about $50.

I didnt think it was too bad.

Cybertron Leader Optimus Prime, mint in unopened box for $60 shipped.

ummmmm......

MIB Classics Optimus Prime for $42.00
MIB Classics Megatron for $25.00
Walmat Exclusive Grindcore for $ 6.00
MIB G-1 Oprimus Prime for $85.00

This ones got a strange title, but good description.

the guy almost knows what he has, and is getting a good price overall atm...

Will add link later.

EDIT- as promised links added

A while ago I got a MISB SkyGarry in a near flawless box for about 120$ including shipping. Never seen one that cheap. I was (and still am) very happy with that one.

A large 'warehouse find' of cases with MISB Sky Garry's, last year, greatly increased the ready supply of MISB Sky Garry's. Some would say the sudden large influx of MISB Sky Garry's ruined the market.

For example, I know BBTS were selling these at $200, that for a Transformer which previously had commanded prices of up to $400 - $500. Other online TF-retailers had comparable pricing, so $120 is still an excellent price, though!

This struck me as daft

lmao. me thinks someone will be greatly disappointed


on my end... not a huge deal but I was happy with it - I got a MISB Revoltech Starscream for $26 and free shipping a while back

Now if only more newly discovered cases of Grandus would also be found I'd be a happy boy....errrrr man!

I haven't been fairing too well on Ebay these days. Not getting great deals but not getting ripped off either.
I won this guy this morning. $40 is what i paid shipped. Twice as much as what i wanted to pay but some bidders snuck in under the radar while i was sleeping.

I think it's pretty cool and unusual though and i'm stoked to get em in my hands.

@monstergrotosque

I agree with you bro', I really hate it when someone sneaks in a bid when you need a shut eye!

I recently scored a complete and from the description, a really great condition loose G1 Countdown set at US$ 39.00 (but someone attempted a one click bid on me)

Bit confused by this one, i thought it was only jetfire that when for these prices from ROTF

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270835914436? ... 1438.l2649

And at the other end of the scale i missed out on these, even though i thought they'd sell for alot more!
