Ebay sellers Hall of Shame!!!

[TheBigSloppy]

Have you seen auctions that were so outrageously priced that you just scratched your head, then kind've chuckled, because you didn't really know whether this seller was serious or not?

Well, I thought this thread could be a humorous jab at some of those sellers who are so over the top they must think we are complete buffoons. . .or not.

So, without further adieu, I will start with this lovely contribution:

This seller has up for bid nearly all of the released-to-date Saga 3 3/4" figures (a total of 60 to be exact). Hardly any variations are included. AND THE AUCTION HAS A STARTING BID OF $5,000!!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1785190098

ENJOY!

Let the contributions begin. . .

[sith_killer_99]

Hahahahaha!!!

This one DEFINATLY gets the "What was he thinking award".

Let's see, my math is a bit rusty:

60 figures
X $4.99
----------
$299.40

PLUS Tax @ 6.00% (let's call it $18.00 even)

PLUS 60 Star Cases, let's say $1.25 each X 60 = $75.00

So that would be:

$299.40
$18.00
+ $75.00
------------
$392.40

We'll call it $400.00 for fun and add $35.00 for shipping. WOW, only $5000.00 for some guy's initial investment of less than $450.00!!! This guy must be taking economic lessons from Hillary Clinton.;)

[BanthaPoodoo]

Hmmm, just $83 a figure? I'll take two sets please!

[TheBigSloppy]

Hey, don't knock him.:stupid:

They were all handpicked and guaranteed to be C-9.5+!!!:D

[TheBigSloppy]

And they are NOT just $83 a figure.

No. . .

$83 and 33 friggin cents!!!:crazed:

[BanthaPoodoo]

What's even worse is its not even a complete set!!!

There is no #46 or #48 there. The #15 & #16 dont even have backgrounds with them, so they are not the "harder to find" version of them.

Not to mention he didnt even throw in the TRU R2!!!

That was so funny! Thanks for the great laugh!

[Deoxyribonucleic]

This one's worse than that person selling the case of 32 silver r2's for 650 bucks!!!

Thanks for the laugh!:D

[TheBigSloppy]

Noticed that too. What a joke!

Whenever you (or any of you for matter) come across an auction like this, add the link. . .

We could all use the laugh. . .at their expense, of course.

[Deoxyribonucleic]

Ok, here's a good one! :)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1787160406

I could put a down payment on a house for that or by half of a C- class Mercedes Benz!!! :)

I'm not debating the authenticity of it, just how much someone might pay for a 2 inch piece of plastic. However, if ya got the money to burn, go fer it! :)

Just thought it was interesting, nothing more!

[TheBigSloppy]

Uh. . .WOW!

I got my checkbook out.

I am having a hard time squeezing twelve thousand, five hundred dollars on one line. Any suggestions?

[Deoxyribonucleic]

Here's something else interesting!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1783815539

Hey TBS, try this:

And on another note:

This is just scary:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=734307555


This life casting of Mark Hammel for the Star Wars series is so lifelike and realistic that it's like having Luke Skywalker sitting in your room. It stands about 15-16 inches high.

Wow, Mark has really went downhill since Star Wars. I just don't see the resemblance.

[Lord Tenebrous]

The Jawa does bring up an interesting point though. There are so many counterfeit vinyl capes out there, that this is one instance where you want to get authenticated. I doubt anybody's going to buy, so he should just keep it, as it has shown up on top-10 most valuable SW items lists.


And you'd be surprised...there are people who collect vintage cardbacks. But not like the Threepio offered. Most collectors want clean, unpunched, uncut, untorn cards.

Maybe even a little better than this:

[Deoxyribonucleic]

I would love to have a missle-silo house! I've actually been in one too! It was THE coolest house I've ever seen! Seriously

Or make a house out of a C-141 or B-52 Bomber! Totally fun and different and you could make the cockpit into your own personal entertainment center as it could have a liquid crystal display and you could watch movies, play video games or what have you or deactivate the LQD so you could let the sun in or the stars!

I've actually thought about this as you can buy airplanes from the boneyards in Tuscon, AZ for pennies a pound!!! Granted, that's a lot of poundage, but not so if it is gutted! The most expensive part would be to transport it to where your property would be. Again though that wouldn't be so bad as you could section it out!

Just a thought :crazed:

[darthvyn]

i just love how it's called "max power aerospace"

http://maxpoweraero.com/homes/owner'sflightmanual.html

max power
it's the name that sounds good in your ear
max power
it's the name that you fear
but you mustn't fear!!!!!!!!

[Wolfwood319]

"Max Power doesn't abbreviate...and some pirate flags if there's room."

"You just strap yourself in and feel the G's"

I remember seeing something on the decorating channel about a women who lived in a hull of a B-52. It was a pretty nice place, if I recall.

Easier to be heated? How? By launching a missle. :D

A year ago I remember coming across an old Russian submarine being up for auction. I wonder if anyone won it.

Well, these were good for laugh anyway.:D

[Kidhuman]

Geez. @00 bbucks for a silver fett? ANd 900 for a case of r2's? Puff puff give. I need some of that stuff.

[bobafrett]

I won a copy of the Star Wars Chronicles from a person on eBay. It took nearly 3 months, and having to use Squaretrade before I got the book. Then when I opened it, the book at a huge dent in the cover, and the clasp was broken on the die cut case. I wrote this person back, and keep getting promises to send out a "mint" copy. In this persons last response to me, they promised to refund my money if I didn't get a new copy by last Monday. The only other bad eBay experience I had, was the two "Kubricks" I had won, that ended up being knockoffs. You live, you learn.

Those were pretty funny sith_killer_99!!!

[bobafrett]

Found this one. I don't care if it is AFA certified, I bought 5 of these at Wal-Mart for less than this.eBay auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3130009974&category=2476)

[sith_killer_99]

hehehe...

He lists the figure as U-85 and the pic clearly says U80!

I can't believe people actually do this. They buy cases and ship them to AFA to be opened and handled with "gloves" then put into an acrylic case. Nevermind the factory workers that had their meat hooks all over them before they left the company.

This is a $5.00 action figure people!!! A toy!:rolleyes:

What's more, I managed to snag a couple of these during the two for the price of one sale.

Here's a new one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3130708984&category=2474

Yep, it's an AFA rates "uncirculated" playskool set.:rolleyes:

[QLD]

I wonder if I drop a log directly into a plastic case, and send it to AFA, if they will grade it as uncirculated????

[sith_killer_99]

No no no no no, all logs must be in factory sealed cases to be graded "uncirculated".:D

[bobafrett]

So if he drops a log at a factory that seals it in a case, then has it shipped to the AFA to have it graded............Hmmmm

[QLD]

bobafrett, we could be on to something there.....

[Tonysmo]

so then I could actually put that "certified uncirculated Gem Mint 10 log" onto my (ex)bosses desk... and let them know how "priceless" it actually is... hmmmm..





this thread has now hit rock bottom..

Yes, I see that it has been graded by the AFA , definitly making it worth the asking price. I think I'll put this one in my auctions to watch.

[QLD]

Man, I gotta get that log on ebay!

[Deoxyribonucleic]

<--------------is extremely interested in "the LOG"

It's LOG, it's LOG, it's fun for a boy and a girl, everyone wants a log, come and get your log!

I WANT MY LOG!!!

[DarthChuckMc]

There is NO WAY ANY Star Wars figure is Gem Mint 100. AFA claims they go over the card back with a microscope and blah blah blah. There is going to be SOMETHING wrong with either the cardback, the bubble, or the paint application on the figure. I will NEVER buy anything AFA graded...EVER. It is such a sham. Flim flam artists I tells ya....tomfoolery....shinanigans!!

I don't know what's worse...that someone bid on it or that aharry searched for it.

This is my personal favorite. I am an avid collector of Star Wars original movie posters. This seller has listed this over and over and over again. $35,000 for a bunch of pictures. What a waste.

You'll notice at the bottom of all the listed posters it says:

Note: You are bidding on a collection of photographs. These are not original posters but professional photographs taken of original posters.

I'm glad I read that before putting in a bid.

I was going to put a couple in here that I saw yesterday for "Not Yet Releashed" clone trooper sets as well as the battle droid sets. I'll take my chances finding those at the retail outlets.

[Lord Malakite]

Awsome, a ghost in a jar. I'll have to get me one of those. :happy:

That's a great story, but I don't belive a bit of it. Real spooky, sounds like it would make one hell of a movie. There would have to be some killing involved of course. A cross between The Blair Witch Project, Darkness Falls, The Ring, and Fear.com. It would be a cool touch at the end of the movie if the jar was sold on ebay too. Just to leave it open for a sequal. The name of the movie could stay the same "Ghost in the Jar" Starring Michael Rapaport and a Goth Mini Driver.

I love this thread, I really do, it makes me feel sane :crazed: hehe

[Dr Zoltar]

When that Ghost in the Jar sells, we have to contact the buyer to see what happens.

[Kidhuman]

I can't believe it is up to a grand already. That is absurd.

[Dr Zoltar]

Dang, it was only up to $225 the last time I posted!

[jrosen]

The bidder is a deadbeat. There is no way they'll play.

[Kidhuman]

2k for that ghost. What is this world coming to. LIMP should get that logged graded and sell it.

[jrosen]

Now it's up to 14K!!!! The seller is getting nervious. He's been posting that he'll contact the FBI if the bidder is a deadbeat. Everyone knows that they won't pay. I mean 14K is completely screwed up. I bet that it won't be more the 1000 once all the bid retractions come.

[jrosen]

17.6K. I don't think this will stop. Somebody is going to have a lot of explaining to do to the feds.

[DarthChuckMc]

Um..............$550,800.00 and only 3 hours left.

[Dr Zoltar]

You should check out all the spoofs of "Ghost in a Jar" now on the site.

[James Boba Fettfield]

Ha ha ha, I saw those auctions too Zoltar after I read the seller saying there were some knock offs for bid.

[jrosen]

Well, it ended at just over 50k. To a person with -2 feedback. I wonder if they are going to pay. I would be nice to put up a piece of crap get someone to fake buy it and then go after his *** in court for fraud. If the guy is over 18 they could collect on him for years. And the guy would go to jail because the fraud is over $1000. I wonder what the seller is going to do.

[James Boba Fettfield]

You don't think "gary the gimp horn" is a serious bidder on the $50,000 ghost in a jar?

-2 feedback gary the gimp horn, oh that's funny.

[Kidhuman]

Geez, the guys address is probably fake. No way is he paying for it. 50k+. If he buys it. and that is a big if, he really is a gimp or something.

[bobafrett]

Wow, $50 grand a year will buy a lot of beer! I'd like to see what comes of this. Maybe Gary the Gimp Horn will unleash the Ghosts wrath upon the world. He's probably the same idiot who called in a bomb threat to the airplane he was supposed to catch so it wouldn't leave the runway without him.

It would be nice if someone actually bought the ridiculous thing and went after the seller in court for fraud. He specifically says he's offering "the 'Ghost in the Jar'. With it I am sure you will be getting the 'Black Thing' also." If it turns out there is no Ghost in that jar, and no "Black Thing" matching his description shows up - then the Seller should be put in jail.

Why do you think he won't ship USPS? He doesn't want to get busted for mail fraud.

[jrosen]

Ebay seller Mrs.Miniver rocks. First she puts up a crappy auction for pictures of movie posters for 35K. That doesn't sell. So after numerous attempts, she finally decides to change the look of the auction. So now, it's a "Business Opportunity" for the grand old price of 42K. So she couldn't find a buyer at 35K, but for now she can get 7K more? The last time I checked, when something is priced too high, you lower the cost until you find demand for it. Not raise it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2539968631&category=2992

[sith_killer_99]

LOL, only one Star Wars poster and no Texas Chainsaw Massacre!!! No wonder she can't get anything for it.;)

[DarthChuckMc]

I'd like to slap their fat smiling faces.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3139055487

[IG-808]

I would like to do more than slap them. How did they get their hands on 10 cases?? I also count 40+ on the floor in the pictures. Great control the fan club has with the figures!! Anyone who buys a case of these for $4000 should be shot!!

[Kidhuman]

3 grand for a case of them. I will be behind you waiting to slap the person who buys it.

[Dr Zoltar]

Well the seller claims the boxes were from the Mexicon. Unless someone can verify that they ran out of the Silver Fett at the convention, it's possible this guy bought the remainders. And the US Fan Club was not in charge of this distribution in Mexico -- The Mexican fan club was.

So anyone go to the Mexian Star Wars convention and can verify if they did or didn't run out of Silver Fetts?

[plasticfetish]

I'd like to slap their fat smiling faces.
Yeah, OK ... this one wins for biggest jack*** auction.

"I had to pay $2000 for NBA finals tickets in San Antonio."

Uh ... what?
(No, I get it. Great story.)
I wouldn't be surprised if these cases "fell off a truck" and these guys "found" them.

[IG-808]

Looks like the guy is feeling a bit guilty, when I first looked at the auction, its was selling for $4000 for the case, there was no sob story about buying NBA tickets and there was more pictures. Also the one picture that shows the guy had another guy in the picture, he has been covered up. And the picture with them shaking hands and smiling like morons is gone. Too funny. and like there are only 3 sealed cases in the world. How dumb does he think we are. Sure it would be hard to buy a sealed case here in the states at a convention, but its not like he has the last of the figures ever made. At first thsi auction made my blood boil, no I am getting a huge laugh out of it.

[mabudonicus]

I like how, in true "scam" fashion, he asks you to "imagine what they'd go for"....... that is one of the lamest hard-sell techniques going...
Mebbe the guy is mixed up with some bad types, and he HAS to get the money or his life is forfeit... that is the only way I can see coming off so desperate...... mebbe if he changes the pitch some more it'll somehow get even more pathetic... THAT would be cool!!!

[plasticfetish]

I like how, in true "scam" fashion, he asks you to "imagine what they'd go for"
True. I'm going to "imagine" that they'll be going no place and we'll be seeing them re-listed for a lot less. Can't wait to see his AFA figures listed also.

[IG-808]

Has anyone been watching this auction? It is getting funnier by the day. The guy must be getting harassed or something. It keeps changing. It first started out at $4000 for the case with free shipping and like 6 pictures, a few with 2 guys acting all smug and cool. Then it was changed to $3000 with free shipping, 3 or so pictures were removed, and one picture remained of the 2 guys, but one guy got covered up and also a sad story about NBA tickets was added. Now the latest version there is no sad story, the price has been lowered to $2100 and shipping is now $60 and no pictures of either of the guys.................I so cant wait to how this ends..............without it selling of course!!

[mabudonicus]

Yeah, good stuff..... mebbe he "imagined" that if he lowered the price, and got rid of the REALLY HOKEY story bits, he might have a chance to get at least what he paid for them.... looks like the guys supply has taken a bit of a hit, too......
Keep your eyes on the bouncing ball, fellows!!!

Get your mint in near mint box Imperial Shuttle for only twice retail!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3140548873&category=2474


This is the very limited edition FAO Schwarz Tyderium Shuttle vehicle, Mint in NM/Mint box. There were only 5000 of these produced, and have long since been sold out. I was going to hang on to this for a while longer, because I believe the price for these will rise to the $300-$400 level real soon. I am letting this one go now in order to quickly raise cash to purchase another large collection. This ship will look great with your other vehicles and playsets!

What a jug head!lol :D

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3140548873&category=2474



What a jug head!lol :D



I sent him an email.....

Hi,
The auction you listed may not sell due to 2 important factors.

1. Only 5,000 shuttles were sold through FAO, but another 15,000 have been made available through KBToys.com and EntertainmentEarth.com.

2. Retail on the shuttle at FAO was $120.00, but has been reduced to $100 at KBToys.com and $110 on EntertainmentEarth.com.

One other thing....your shipping cost of $30 is inflated compaired to both E-Tailers offering this toy. Both companies are charging $12-15 for shipping.

Good luck selling it at you asking price, it is a very cool toy. I myself bought 2 for less than what you are asking, and I must say I'm happy I did.

Thanks,
Chuck Mc




I'll let you guys know if he replies. ;)

[Dr Zoltar]

Well I guess if you're real desperate to complete your collection:

A little to rich for my blood.

[Kidhuman]

Okay Chuck, you took the words out of my typing fingers.

And good Dr. I never even knew they made that pack. Outrageously priced IMO.

[Dr Zoltar]

Kidhuman,

That seller has all 4 of those accessory packs for sale (they were the 2nd set that never made it to retail). That German toy website -- can't remember the name of it right now -- had all 4 for $60 total at one time. This seller has 2 for $60 and the other 2 for $40 if you do the "Buy It Now" option. I would be really surprised if they sold.

[sith_killer_99]

Yeah I saw this guy's auctions for all 4 wave 2 Accessory sets. :rolleyes:

I never did buy them, though I wish I had. :( I saw them on a couple of websites back in 99-00, but never at retail. :cry:

BTW, here's an up date on the Ebay "Silver Fett" sealed case issue:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3140182678&category=2476

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3140594489

Yep, one guy has yet another sealed case and the other guy actually got a sealed case and sent it in to AFA for the "U" grade treatment. :rolleyes:

Ooooh, look, my silver Fett is "Uncirculated" that means it hasn't been touched by human hands since it was lovingly put in it's case by some guy making less than minimum wage. :rolleyes:

[sith_killer_99]

Here's a new one. It seems that the Blue Clone Trooper is the first "color" clone set to ship after the plain old vanilla clones. This Ebay (hall of shame) award goes to the bidder who has agreed to pluck down...$47.00 plus $6.00 shipping (so far). :rolleyes:

Yes these will be a bit difficult to find, but $53.00 for the set?!?!

Here's the link:

[plasticfetish]

Did you look at that bidders other most recent bids?
A Hoth Han for $13.62 and a porno for $41.
What a dip!

[Emperor Howdy]

My God! LOLOL...this piece of crap speaks for itself. The Hall of Shame award goes to the horrible English-speaking foreigner selling this log of poo. However, if...and I repeat...IF this "thing" gets a bid, the Shame award will be withdrawn from the seller and inserted in the buyer's anus. :eek:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3140266849&category=2476


(not to mention the guy's jarbled description followed by an obviously copy/pasted, well-versed review....what an arse). :D

[Deoxyribonucleic]

Emperor Howdy...I think that is, episode 1 playsets down, the most hilarious post I've ever seen on ebay...it even beats that tumbleweed someone sold, at least I can understand that for "crafty people" reasons.

ROFLMAO!

:D :crazed: :D :crazed: :D

[plasticfetish]

"consider the Romanesque grandeur of Naboo, the underwater city of Otoh Gunga illuminated by Art Nouveau lamps, the decadent brio of Tatooine, or the dizzying skyscrapers of the city planet Coruscant"

Hmmm ... OK, let me do that for a second ...

...

...

...

... OK, done. Yeah, OK. Now, what is that space ship?

"not sure what it is - I has wing change action that makes it looka but like a tie fighter but I dont think it is and also a push button red attack light in the back"

Oh, OK ... sure. Just let me run and get my credit card ...

[Emperor Howdy]

LOL...I hear ya! Who's he writing it for!? Some moron who can't see through his babbly bulls*** and thinks this is a rare find!?

....and what's with the "bounty hunter"? :confused: What is she, a Legends of Zelda figure!?!...and that ship! It's like this dude robbed some kid's toybox, stuck it all together, and calls it a "Rare as Hell!" playset.....lololol...give me a break! :rolleyes: It reminds me of an auction I saw on Ebay (and posted here) right after George Harrison died. Some lady took this stupid looking porcelain babydoll, dressed it in a purple (?) somewhat "military" looking outfit (r.e. Sgt. Pepper's), drew a mustache on it, and called it a "Extremely Rare George Harrison Doll". Being a Beatles fan, I was truly offended. It was the only time I've ever emailed a seller. It was a pretty good bashing that told them how ashamed they should be and how ridiculously asinine the doll looked. :mad:

No kidding, it was removed the next day! :D They probably tried again...I never checked back...but I felt good for the rest of the day! :)

Aaaanyway, I'm going to trust in the integrity of our fellow collector's and predict this auction ends with zero bids. :zzz:

[plasticfetish]

Some lady took this stupid looking porcelain babydoll, dressed it in a purple (?) somewhat "military" looking outfit (r.e. Sgt. Pepper's), drew a mustache on it, and called it a "Extremely Rare George Harrison Doll".
Wow! That's intense ... that's pretty ... scary.

Now that you mention it, I don't know what that female figure is. Let me ask ... HEY WHO IS THAT OTHER FIGURE?
"soem sort of bounty hunter or rebel, not sure what here name is and dont remeber her in the old films."
Oh, OK.

I sort of think you're right about this guy ripping off his kids toy box. I'm thinking it's a frustrated, drunk writer who needs money to pay off his gambling debts. I just looked and all of his auctions have these long crazy descriptions ... look at this ...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=271&item=3534335964

... it's epic!

[plasticfetish]

No, no, no ... THIS one is epic!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3954&item=2182313545

He made $5.64 for writing all of that. Amazing.
(Maybe he could have gotten $6 if the photo wasn't sideways.)

... oh no, it says that he's 16 near the end. That changes everything. This kid's a prodigy!

[mabudonicus]

Those are some detailed descriptions alright... I like the fact that it would take less time to read the comic book than it would to read that darn "blurb"...

The playset RULES... at least he's honest, he REALLY doesn't know what it is.... heck, I hardly know what that mess is....
I can't call the bounty hunter at all, the large views don't help... could be "poison Ivy" from batman, mebbe??
Oh, and good to "see" you again, Howdy \m/

[InsaneJediGirl]

Hehe,I love that playset,I'll think I should buy it now,just for that Ultra-Rare bounty hunter figure.My collection just isnt the same without it.

Seriously,the figure looks like something from Burger King..

[Deoxyribonucleic]

I think that the "rare bounty hunter" figure is the skater girl from the animated Flash Gordon from the early 1990's...I actually have that figure but I can't remember her name sadly :(

[DarthChuckMc]

The ship and the girl are from Titan AE. Not a "bad" movie as far as animated stuff goes....well....my kids like it.

[Deoxyribonucleic]

The ship and the girl are from Titan AE. Not a "bad" movie as far as animated stuff goes....well....my kids like it.

must be a resculpt ..I'll dig her up and take pics.

STRANGE!!

:crazed: :)

[plasticfetish]

And ... DarthChuckMc is the winner ... Titan A.E. ship and figure. (http://www.angelfire.com/pa4/latlk/taephoenixwakima.jpg)

Deoxy, is this the one you have ... Dale Arden (http://ebay1.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_9fd6de44e668c357782ce25a21a5506d/i-1.JPG)? Perhaps if you send the eBay seller a photo of it he'll write an essay about it for you.

Wow, that's exactly who it is...aren't those the same figures though?

My eyes must be going bad because they look the same to me??

Thanks PF and wayyyyyy to go DarthChuck for calling that one on the shizzie!! ;)

Now, shall we all buy it and split the playset + figures? haha
:crazed:

[Kidhuman]

Different outfits Deoxy. They look really similar but the clothing is different. Maybe taken from the same sculpt.

[plasticfetish]

Now, shall we all buy it and split the playset + figures? haha :crazed:
Yeah, I'm in for $1 if I can have the machine gun toting Qui-Gon.

[QLD]

Oh my god...I might actually have to bid on that Lando figure....it's just so.....so....right.

[Kidhuman]

Oh my god...I might actually have to bid on that Lando figure....it's just so.....so....right.

As soon as I saw it, you popped into my mind. If you win it you caould call yourself the L.I.M.P. Pimp.

[Deoxyribonucleic]

Oh my god...I might actually have to bid on that Lando figure....it's just so.....so....right.

LIMP, that Lando PIMP is right up your alley my friend ;) :)

[Kidhuman]

Anyone want a custom Padme?


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3141038003&category=2476

Maybe Lando could pimp her

[jpak001]

Ha! I kinda like that Lando in some warped way....

Looks like it was made with the outfit from the Full Moon Toys "Blood dolls: Pimp" figure. That's funny!

[mabudonicus]

Yeah, nice stuff... I'm kinda surprised Lando only went for 20 bucks, though, it looks like some kinda time went into him...
The padme conversion is a little less impressive, but still kinda fun

[sith_killer_99]

Look who's at it again:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2474&item=3140548873

This is the same clown who was trying to sell this same Shuttle a little while ago. :rolleyes:


I was going to hang on to this for a while longer, because I believe the price for these will rise to the $300-$400 level real soon. I am letting this one go now in order to quickly raise cash to purchase another large collection.

Yeah right, "quickly raise cash". This guy could raise cash quicker by getting a job. :D

[DarthChuckMc]

It's the same auction actually. He did a 10 day, it just hasn't ended yet.

I forgot...he replied to my email.

Basically, he said he thinks I was right, and thanked me for the information, but hopefully someone would still bite. ;)

Anywho, looks like there ain't too many stupid fish in the sea.

[DarthChuckMc]

Oh yeah.....

Before I join the "Hall o' fame" list....is anyone interested in a loose mint Imperial shuttle for say....$80? That's $40 less than I paid from FAO, sans box of course, but I have fixed the wing cannons already.

I know this belongs elsewhere, but we are talking about the shuttle right now, and I'm thinking of putting on eBay, so it's kinda on topic :D

[Deoxyribonucleic]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3235677490&category=211

Ba??!!

:confused: :confused:

[2-1B]

Deo, that's awesome ! ! !

I wonder if it isn't maybe a front for a bootlegging operation? :confused:

[plasticfetish]

Yeah, uh ... ???

So for "Approximately US $7.24" I can have this guy(?) mail me a faked George Clooney or Cameron Diaz autograph from England? Sheesh! My wife sees Diaz's sister like every day ... for "Approximately US $7.24" we could probably get her autograph. That is a nice photo of this seller's bed though ... real classy. Man, that person really digs Yo-Yos too ... check out the bid history. Obviously took one of them to the head before putting up this ad.

DN, what are you doing on eBay looking for George Clooney autographs anyway? Clooney's out ... it's all about Ashton (http://www.allaboutashton.com/) Kutcher these days.

[2-1B]

I like this Obi-Wan custom. :rolleyes:

"This auction is for a different version of Obi-Wan Kenobi. This 12" custom is how i imagine Obi-Wan to look in an alternate world where he was the one damaged in the battle with Anakin and then required life-saving armor."

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3141334456&category=2476

When I look at the eyes under that hood I kinda get the impression that Walrusman is peeking out at me. :crazed:

[plasticfetish]

Yes, it is fun to imagine alternate worlds where other people have been damaged in battle and then required life-saving armor.

Wow! But that guy does sell a lot of customs ... I had no idea that there was such a market for custom figures. Maybe I really should start to imagine alternate worlds where other people have been damaged in battle and then required life-saving armor.

[mabudonicus]

Right now I'm imagining an alternate reality where that obi wan isn't the goofiest thing I've seen all day

[QLD]

Maybe I can sell my "alternate world" copy of Attack of the Clones, you know...the Alternate World where it was actually good that apparantly some people went to see the movie at.

;)

[2-1B]

Or you can pretend that the Falcons actually changed to a good logo. ;)

:crazed:

Or I can pretend that the Browns actually HAVE a logo.



On topic, I really do love that Lando Pimp custom. I clicked on the link thinking it would be a 3 3/4" figure so I was blown away by the 12inch costume. :)

[InsaneJediGirl]

Agreed mabudon.Funny custom,I really cant believe people have bid on it.

Heres a good one for the Star Wars fan who has everything :

Howabout a brown vest OC Luke for the low low low "buy it now" price of just $175.00!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3141020469&category=2474

Sure, the cards not "mint", but this thing is "rare".

[CloneTrooperMace]

SK-LOL :D Thats great, it just kills me :dead: .....btw I like the red Background :p

[plasticfetish]

There's something about the red background that says ... absorbent ... to me.

[seth_quinn]

found a great deal on a vader gunner station, only a $40 opening bid, or you can simply buy it now for $80. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3141973394&category=2474

the rest of this guys stuff was just as funny. http://cgi6.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=jeffworkman&sort=3&page=1&rows=50&since=-1&showpics=1&stab=0

[Kidhuman]

If you look at the second link, he has three gunners for 30 dollars opening bid and BIN for 50, with the Vader included? Which is the better deal there?

[seth_quinn]

yeah, saw that too, this guy flat out has no clue & just wasted a ton of dough on listing fees. anybody that bids on any of his stuff need to get their head examined.

[DarthChuckMc]

Alright folks....now's your chance.....

You can be a JEDI COUNCIL MEMBER!!



http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2946151754&category=19272

[Kidhuman]

What the heck is that? Do we get our own lightsaber? Are my Midi-chlorins high enough? Do you get a sweet cushiony chair? Do we get to go to courascant? Do I get my own star fighter? Will I get to go to Kamino and battle Jango? Wow, if they did all that I would bid on it.

[plasticfetish]

That may in fact be the very first Jedi pyramid scheme.

[Tonysmo]

thats f'n hilarious. the pryramid scheme ala Star Wars style. My guess is once you become a member you get to lead you own council, and add another 11 guys to your group and recruit and recruit and recruit until the world is CHOCK FULL of Jedi running rampant looking to refer as many other Jedi... ahh..

no.. just plain wrong.

[bobafrett]

OMG, that is funny, and yet sad, because someone has actually placed a bid. I wonder if someone should report that auction to eBay. Something like that should not be allowed.

[Kidhuman]

I wasnt even thinking of a pyramid scheme. It is highly possible that could be what is going on.

[InsaneJediGirl]

This is too funny.I should ask if I recieve a real working lightsaber,brown robes,and my room at the Jedi Temple:D

[Tonysmo]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3239239960&category=14895


and with that, I am TRULY thankful HE decided to spring for the shipping costs..

amazing..

[Kidhuman]

If only I had me a million dollars I could waste it on that junk. The free shipping is almost worth it.

[plasticfetish]

Sheesh.
"Are these a computer fabrication?"
Dude ... a computer fabrication of what? It looks like a close up of a mold spore.
"All skeptics please save it and do not contact me."
Dear Sir, I am very interested in purchasing your close-up photo of an oatmeal cookie ... the one that you claim is a photo of ghosts. Money is no object, yours truly, Michael Jackson.

[InsaneJediGirl]

To me,it looks like a fuzzy shot of a moldy sugar cookie or tree :rolleyes:

[aharry]

That's the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning. Right before the test pattern and color bars.

[Sidiously Darth]

He sees dead people. I see a moron.

He should be the poster child for putting the crack pipe down. :crazed:

[InsaneJediGirl]

I e-mailed the guy on why he thought the images in the photograph were Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman and heres what I got :



Looks like them, and were taken at Nicole's house. Mounting Ron photos
shortly.

From what I saw in the moldy cookie photo,it doesnt really look like anyone :rolleyes:

[plasticfetish]

"Looks like them, and were taken at Nicole's house."
Well, I'm sold. That's enough of a sales pitch for me.


From what I saw in the moldy cookie photo,it doesnt really look like anyone
Well ... if you squint your eyes, put a plastic sack over your head and breath real hard it does kind of start to look like a face. Lots of faces ... whoah!!! There's a whole bunch of people there ... errrr ...

[sith_killer_99]

Anyone looking for the Green Clone Troopers 3 pack?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3143733081

Only $102.50, but shipping is not included. lol that's tooooo funny! :D

[InsaneJediGirl]

All that and still no shipping!

Can anyone float me $18,500?I really need this Yoda :D

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2190643075&category=154

[Kidhuman]

I cant believe someone bought the clone troopers at that price. And that yoda looks like poo poo. 18,500....your insane buddy. But shipping is 0 dollars

[mabudonicus]

That's pretty rich alright... I love how all the REAL charlatans have to include "this HAS to be the ultimate collectible" or whatever.... COME ON....
"This COULD be the most important commercial you've EVER seen!!"



Why does the seller know that less than 10 were made, but not how MANY were made??? He knows how many WEREN'T made, that's great, but...
And then the quote about "you just add up the value of the material and program and machining times it would be over 1200 dollars" yeah, that's awesome... by that logic just watching "Gigli" should be worth 40 million dollars :D

Im so upset that the auction ended without me getting to bid! I hope he puts another out there!!









( and yes.. Im JOKING!! )

[Kidhuman]

Check this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3149130697&category=2476) out. How did he get one already?

[InsaneJediGirl]

Starting bid is only 199.99,why not make it an even $200?:crazed:

[Turbowars]

I guess this guy is desperate to sell his toys, He makes his wife or what ever pose with his items. Kind of funny.

Must be the vintage Death Star set on E-bay that you are referring to Turbowars, I seen that the other and wondered that myself.

[plo koon 200]

To think I have seen it all and now this. Well, I guess that is a way to get a few extra bucks for that vitnage Death Star Playset.

[Exhaust Port]

This link should work:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=3157840934

See, Star Wars collectors can score the hot women. :D

[bobafrett]

You'll also notice at the bottom of the auction that they have more items for sale with this same bikini clad woman making me want to bid on all of it.

[kool-aid killer]

It seems pretty cheesy to me. Shes alright, but she isnt Stacy's mom either. I dont know, wouldnt you feel kind of dirty trying to sell an item that way? Its like you selling something that you know females like. Lets say an antique for example, and you show yourself in a speedo next to it trying to act like thats cool.

[Exhaust Port]

Well women aren't nearly visually driven as males so they could probably care less who you have standing next to a valuable antique. There is nothing wrong with having some attractive women next to your product. It draws attention but that's about it. It's similar to having attractive women stand next to the newest Ferrari or Benz. 99% of the guys there can't afford the car but they're intrigued because of the eye candy. If they have the same women standing next to a Yugo, guys might show up but I doubt that they'll stay that long. Women might draw us in but if the product is of no luck then we'll get bored and leave.

I have to give this guy a lot of credit for orginality and even being able to have an attractive women to pose with his toys. You have to admit that the average SW fan doesn't have that ability. Way to score one for the team. :)

[bobafrett]

And I think there is at least one photo with just the young lady, and no product!

[Exhaust Port]

I call that a bonus! :D

[Turbowars]

I call that a bonus! :DWhat, the cheese on her legs?

[scruffziller]

The guy is using all the cards.:D

Did you notice the one part where it says.....

The Death Star, YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!

[Banthaholic]

I saw this auction, too funny. I guarantee a few hormone raged people bid on this just because of those pics.

[Kidhuman]

That is too funny. What next?

[Kidhuman]

That is too funny. What next?

To answer my own question, (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50274&item=3174354234) get your vintage WAMPA here.

[sith_killer_99]

hahahahahahahahaha....

I'm still rollin'!!!

That's too funny "We specialize in vintage only"...we just don't specialize in properly identifying which figures we are listing!!!

LOL

[Kidhuman]

I emailed him to let him know it isn't a WAmpa, but an AT AT driver. I will post his response if I get one.

[Darth Kirk]

Nothing against EBAY, its a cool place and I have had GREAT amazing luck with some of the Star Wars collectibles I have purchased over the years, but the horror stories are out there.. The ones where sellers were not completely honest in their listings.. It really is risky when you do have collectibles on sale, and their cost is contigent upon their 'mint' condition- and then you get them and their was damage done 'in transit'.. This happened to me once, fortunately I had not spent tooo much..

[Kidhuman]

The ones where sellers were not completely honest in their listings....


Which one(s) would that be? LOL :D

[Darth Kirk]

Which one(s) would that be? LOL :D

They can't all be bad.. Can they?? I have been lucky more than thrice..

[Kidhuman]

most of the auctions are dishonest in one form or another. Just look at shipping charges on most items. Look at descriptions, are all figures HTF? or just because the scalpers nab em all?

[Darth Kirk]

most of the auctions are dishonest in one form or another. Just look at shipping charges on most items. Look at descriptions, are all figures HTF? or just because the scalpers nab em all?


Well the way I always get around the ridiculous and bloated shipping fees is that I ALWAYS ask for a receipt from the post office and any handling fee receipts.. and in all the cases, the shipping costs 'miraculously' dropped. What I have purchased were QUITE a few theatre/store banners..

[Kidhuman]

The big tease. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3175355130&category=2476)

Then scroll to shipping

[Darth Kirk]

Well, for that listing Kidhuman, they actually have a FREE USPS box that should not be a cost incurred when deducing the shipping costs.. I don't know, everytime I have asked for a receipt, I have had one and it was not a bloated shipping price..

[Kidhuman]

Well for one thing, he is saying that "he" wants delivery conformation. The prospective buyer should not have to pay for that. Drop the shipping 5 bucks right there. I just sent a box to California a while back and guess what? It was 5 bucks shipping. Okay, Hawaii is a little further so lets say ten bucks off shipping sounds reasonable for that. He is just out to rip someone off IMO. Why would anyone let a carded Ephant Mon go for 99 cents. He is hoping someone doesnt see the shipping price and just click BIN.

[sith_killer_99]

I lived in Hawaii for 4 years and this guy is a loon! I can't count how much stuff I traded back then! U.S. Priority mail from Hawaii is about a buck more than it is on the mainland.

[Tonysmo]

kinda funny..

[Reefer Shark]

Wow, I'm almost speechless.....

What I like is their little blurb at the top of the auction page:

"At r2dtoys our auctions carry NO RESERVE and a low starting price ALWAYS ! "

Is that what they call a low starting price???? LOL!!!!

I'm a little confused though, I had always seen good feedback on the these forums regarding r2dtoys from our overseas members. What their trying to pull goes way beyond regular scalping. This makes Brianstoys look as cheap as Wal-Mart!!

[Kidhuman]

Want to see soemthing better. Look at his other auctions. Priceless........

Other dookus for as low as 19.99

[bobafrett]

Has to be a typo error. How could anyonew justify charging that much?

You had to know it was gonna happen! :Pirate:

[kool-aid killer]

Who in their right mind would need that many? Thats sad, i wonder how the pig got his grimey hands on that many? Suprised, no. Disgusted, yes.

[Kidhuman]

Why would I want 32 of them????? and the case is banged around, who knows what the figs look like

[Dr Zoltar]

How about this seller:


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50263&item=3186334398&rd=1

As far as I know, that is the HOF Vader, not the earlier Saga one. I wonder how many bidders realize they have the easier to find one.

And check out his other auctions. Now we know who bought up a bunch of silver clones from TRU.

Wow, it was hard not to hit the "buy it now" option! I really had to control myself there.

[Kidhuman]

Whats next? He must need a house payment or something

I have four like that myself, I think I'll wait ten years and sell them for a million a piece, should be plenty of idiots out there that want to buy this five dollar piece of plastic for a cool mill. :D

[sith_killer_99]

B,

Obviously you didn't read his description:


O.K. I'M GIVING UP MY UNPAINTED DARTH VADER.FIND ONE LIKE IT.I DARE YOU.I BET YOU CAN'T!

See, obviously there aren't any more like it in the world. :rolleyes:
:sur: :eek: :greedy: :crazed:

[Deoxyribonucleic]

I dunno, call me crazy but when I buy star wars figures, I like to make sure that which ever one I'm getting has the best paint job.

Come to think of it, when I buy anything I like to make sure it's the best one there and that nothing is wrong with it, otherwise I'm not spending my money on it.

I know, I'll start collecting sweatshirts with mispainted logos and big holes that weren't sewn up in the armpits...I'm sure I'll make a fortune as they'll be one of a kind! :crazed:

hehehe...


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3189556532&rd=1

This is strictly for adult collectors only! You are Bidding on a STAR WARS UNLEASHED Padme Amidala SUPER SEXY ACTION FIGURE. It was recalled by HASBRO for being too "vulgar" and "sexy".

The item is unopened but the card is with creases( hey, what do expect for a hard to find and almost extinct figure)...

I didn't know this Urban Legend was still circulating the internet. Funny, this guy has 2 of these "hard to find and almost extinct figure(s)".

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50260&item=3189556704

[Kidhuman]

We just posted the same one SK99. LOL :beard: at work here

[sith_killer_99]

Well, this didn't take long:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3193586451&rd=1

But that's not the shameful part, this guy thought he would really cash in on this "clear stand" vs "black stand" packaging variation. Even going so far as to just make up his own:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3193578421&rd=1

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3193580058&rd=1

Han Endor (AT-ST Driver Han) and Captain Antilles with rare "Black stands"!?!?!

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over. :rolleyes:

How about a 19 pack of Ephant Mons!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50271&item=3193432297&rd=1

[Deoxyribonucleic]

How about a 19 pack of Ephant Mons!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50271&item=3193432297&rd=1

so that's where they all went :rolleyes:

whatta putz!

Love the black stand RARE variant lol lol

[Kidhuman]

You know, I saw that Ephant Mon over at RS. WTF is someone gonna do with 19 of them????????????????????????????????????? The only reason why I would bid on it is for the SIlver Figures. :crazed: :beard:

[Turbowars]

God, I love e-bay! One of the few places where crooks are protected.

[sith_killer_99]

I sent the guy an e-mail letting him know his auctions were bogus. No reply, but he did post 2 more bogus "Black stand" variation auctions:



http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3193862111&rd=1

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3193876105&rd=1

Now he is claiming TIE Pilots shipped with a "common clear stand". :crazed: Wish I could find one of those common clear stand TIE Pilots!

[Deoxyribonucleic]

Man that tie pilot must be very rare as I just recently saw 3 on the pegs :rolleyes:

but if people are gonna buy them, who's the more sucker, the sucker, or the sucker who follows him?

:silly:

[Kidhuman]

Time to revive this puppy..

[sith_killer_99]

And I thought Target was expensive....

Seriously, does this guy know these things have hit the streets here in the good ol' USofA.

$80 + $24 (S&H) = A fool and his money!!!

4 Sneak Preview Revenge of the Sith action figures

$80.00


Shipping and handeling from Hong Kong

$24.00


The look on some idiot's face when he walks into Wal-Mart the day after his figures arrive and finds all 4 of them for the same price he just paid in shipping

Priceless!

[Kidhuman]

Awesome SK99...LMAO

[mabudonicus]

Yep, good work SK, LOL

Yeah, it really would be special to pay so much to get those figures a few weeks after they hit the streets :beard:

[Slicker]

Heck I'd buy 'em. In case you didn't notice they're the RETURN of the Sith figs. These must one of a kinds.

Man, people are complete tards sometimes.:stupid:

Wow that is something I would have expected KISS to put out but not SW. :(

[2-1B]

ahhhhhh Jim Jam, I don't think SW will approach the level of Kiss until they start selling brand prophylactics . . . and yes I do have a few of the Kiss Kondoms. :D

Come to think of it, SW would be a great tie in to Dan Aykroyd's Galactic Prophylactic. lol lol lol

[bobafrett]

I had heard of the SW related Barf Bags on Virgin airlines, but now I can see them due to this eBay auction. Nice.

[JimJamBonds]

I was going to throw in a comment about the Kiss Kondoms but I figured somebody else would chime in with it... thanks. :D They both have some rather crusty merchandise... although I got to play the Kiss pinball game as a kid and its pretty sweet! :pleased:

[CaptainSolo1138]

I was looking for a Hartford Whalers (Hartford? The Whale?) jersey on ebay the other nite and came across about a dozen "new" ones with "slight wear and small tears" in them. Huh? WTF? Apperently oxymorons came free with every order. Also, the guy had several thousand transactions and about 25% of them were negative. Most had to do with false descriptions and such. One peron had ordered a "new" coat form him with a hole so large on the inseide he couldn't wear it. People. Meh.

My favorite quotes from that auction.




SOME STORIES ABOUND, STATING THAT SOME VERY IRATE CUSTOMERS RETURNED TO THE STORES DEAMANDING REPLACEMENTS



OTHER STORIES ABOUND, STATING THAT SOME VERY ASTUTE PEOPLE SAW THE VALUE IN THIS


STILL OTHER STORIES ABOUND, STATING THAT SOME SINGLE DISCS WERE RETURNED TO 20TH CENTURY FOX ASKING FOR A REPLACEMENT

and


OBVIOUSLY, THIS OPPORTUNITY DOES NOT COME CHEAP AND I AM OPEN TO SERIOUS OFFERS TO END THIS AUCTION AND SELL AT THE RIGHT PRICE - WHAT THAT PRICE IS, DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU WANT THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION

[bobafrett]

Wow, I just checked my DVD set, and it looks almost identical. I should sell it and try to make a mint since it might be rare. Quotes were halarious!

[Slicker]

Apparently the thing with this one is that ROTJ the movie is on the ANH disk. I haven't heard of this so I'm calling BS.

If it's not in my cranial archives then it doesn't exist.;)
