Is it G1, Classics or Masterpiece? If it's deluxe, why would it look good with MPs? *facepalm*

I tend to be forgiving of persons with a limited command of Engrish (and perhaps a limited knowledge of collector jargon in the language) when trying to make a sale. He's not misrepresenting the item.

But $200 for a deluxe-size third-party product that hasn't established collectable value? Ahem.

Maybe he'll find a sucker. I do think it's fair to say that whoever gets taken by this deserves exactly what they get (assuming the seller ships the described product).

Actually, its a MASTERPIECE of a figure, and it scales well with other Masterpieces, and fits in due to its high detail. Well Powerglide is a minibot, so he would be deluxe class against the other masterpieces. ;)

Something is worth whatever another person is willing to pay for it.

It's probably someone who bought the original version of that mold and paid trough the nose for it and just wants to get their "investment" back.

I think U2.0 Powerglide works for MP scale along with the 2010 Seaspray.

That person seems to really like putting things in bold.
