eBay Auction That Will Make You Laugh...

Postby Zeds » Wed Nov 21, 2007 10:56 am

Motto: "I once lost a battle. So long ago I can barely remember it."
Weapon: Thermal Melters
Every so often I come by and eBay auction that I just simply have to post just for the fun of it and to state:

"What were they thinking?"

http://cgi.ebay.com/gen-1-transformer-O ... dZViewItem

$1300! MISB & AFA'ed maybe.
BWOP: "Die-cast construction...It's a lost art!"

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

Look at that box. :shock: I might pay, and that is a big ass might, $1300 for an Omega Supreme if it was not only AFA'ed, but placed in a vacuum sealed time capsle directly from the factory. :P

He's a scammer. Zero feedback...yeah, right. Also, who told him that those were worth that much? A boxed Omega should be around $250-$350, same with Jetfire.

He's got Omega, Jetfire, then a lot with Omega and Jetfire. Too fishy.

Sorry, buddy. You won't be Holiday shopping off of those auctions.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

Botcon 2009--Souvenir Sweeps
Botcon 2010--Souvenirs Rapido, Scorch/Shattered Glass Ravage


MISP preferred, but will consider opened NM/Complete, especially for older figures. Lots of TFs for trade! Please PM any inquiries, serious interest only!

I have a theory about such overpriced auctions. I maintain that it's a spouse (wife, let's be real) that has demanded that the collector in the family sell off the collection. The collector then eBays it far overpriced so none of it sells.

"I tried to sell it, but nobody will buy it!"

Possible backfire. The wife does not have to know a single thing about the collection, what the collection is of, or what its worth. But everyone knows a little about trying to sell something. The next phrase out of her mouth will be something along the lines of "Slash the price or no sex for you!" until the next thing you know, the guy gets only $25 for his figures...

Yeah he pretty much screwed himself over. That is unless it was an account that was taken over by someone and they are simply posting items and the eBay fees will never get paid.

LMAO! Oh, geeeez. That's almost as bad as the guy who listed (and actually sold!) a single cornflake for £1.20. :P
