Come on, go check this out. This is pure gold:

Notice that's a store with over 17000 feedback.

20/03/2012 EDIT:

It seem the seller fixed his listing. A classic Inferno was offered with a photo of DotM leader Sentinel Prime. Turn out it was not the wrong photo. The WHOLE LISTING WAS WRONG. It is now for a overpriced and incomplete DotM leader Sentinel Prime.

NOW THIS THREAD IS ABOUT THE MOST STRANGE, STUPID, OR FRUSTRATING EBAY LISTINGS FOR TRANSFORMERS TOYS.

[Mkall]

Every now and then someone just doesn't have all the info. Either that or they just put the wrong pic with the listing, I've seen both happen before.

[Spleenzorio]

The best was when I saw this.

With over 17 THOUSAND listings, they get to make one mistake without getting made fun of or called a troll.

Maybe. But what would be even more hillarious is a buyer who buy the thing and complain he's not getting a leader Sentinel, or vice-versa.

I love this guy:

Why buy one when you can buy two?!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Transformers-Da ... 5d2dcb0dc1

You'd have to be stupid to buy these at that price, that's for sure.

[Blurrz]

I wouldn't even want to hunt for an authentic Wildrider anymore on eBay..

Cocaine is one hell of a dug.

[Counterpunch]

Maybe they just used the wrong picture when making their listing?

I'm missing something. The op's link shows me a complete DOTM Sentinel Prime for less than retail pricing.

So...where's the "Ha Ha" that I'm missing?

Here's what I see when I click the link, btw:

I can see the hinge for the sword under the roof, plus the edge of the shield underneath the one fender, near the rear wheels. So, what am i missing?

Originally, it was an auction for Universe Inferno. He's fixed it.

[Screamfleet]

So obviously, not stupid or trolling, just made a bit of a flub.

Ah.

Well then, kind of a dick move for this thread to be made, isn't it?

[Screamfleet]

I would say it's very Animated Sentinel Prime in nature, yes.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

It would have been royally messed up if he had used Universe 2003 Inferno

I say royally because, according to 3H he is Beast Wars Inferno

That's why I hate threads like these.

I sent him a message about how his listing was funny as hell. The picture was of DOTM Sentinel Prime but he was selling an Classic Inferno.
It seem he fixed it. Still, 30$+ship for a used Sentinel Prime without his weapons is WAY too much. For the same price, right now, you can have it BRAND NEW.


Now, this thread is about stupid Ebay listings.

In first position, "Random G1 accessory (gun of tiny part)" Free shipping for the USA, 25-40$ to ship worldwide.
So many does that bullshit. Is it so easy to properly calculate shipping? And dudes, no need to use the ultra deluxe service to ship worlwide. Airmail is enough.
Sure, peoples from other countries can fraud you, but so are your fellow Americans.

Honorable mention: Anything A.F.A graded.

slightly off topic is voyager SP worth a look or is it leader SP all way just wondering as i dont have him yet and both are going very cheap at the moment.

Can you capitalise and add some punctuation? Because I can't make head or tail of what you are asking. (Englis is not my main language and I have trouble figuring out incomplete sentences).
By reading that sentence 3 times, I can guess you ask who is superior between DotM voyager Sentinel Prime or the leader.

I don't own the voyager because he just don't worth it. If you find him very cheap, maybe. But why settle for the inferior version when you can get the leader at a reasonable price?

Leader Sentinel Prime is just glorious. Perfect in both modes, he have a challenging transformation without being frustrating. Get him while he's still affordable.

Honorable mention to the Cyberverse commander Sentinel Prime. That little guy is great.

---------------------------

By the way, why did I laugh at a seller who make a very obvious and majot mistake
on his listing? Because he deserves it. If a buyer would have bought the item thinking he would receive an Inferno and get a Sentinel Prime instead, this could have spelled troubles.
I point out that I mailed the seller about his mistake BEFORE I created the thread. So, if his listing would have stayed as is..........

[Genocide G2.0]

@Kanrabat - your right i mean Sentinal prime.

I ask because dotm scale isnt realy something to be botherd about and since i dont have him already im not realy to fussed, i was interested to here if anybody had anything good to say about the voyager i know most people would probably back leader sentinal.

[Omegatron10]

hi,

The most stupidest things I have ever seen on EBay was a seller had these Classic figures which he simply numbered 1-9 even though he had the instructions which clearly show the name of the figure.

Another got his friend to list it but for soem reason he put a picture of a Vase for a Transformers G1 Optimus Prime.

But Yes it does happen commonly with large sellers.

[-Kanrabat-]

For some reason, I see lots of Optimus Primes being called "Megatron". The other way around work too. :/

They're just going for the keyword searches with a tactic like that

"NEW MIB TFCON BOTCON MOVIE OPTIMUS PRIME actually skids"

You laugh - I've seen that, and it was indeed movie skids.
