From under what rock do these people come from and how do they get these? (MERGED)

Ebay auction 1784136303. . .

A SEALED case of 32 Silver R2s. These are supposed to be exclusive to TRU, no (rhetorical)?

I think 'Toymom' should get a day job. Or perhaps she is an employee for Toys R Us and illegally sells their product as a side business. In any event, stuff like this just p's me off!

Wish I could do something about it. Expose her. Report her. Steal her box of goodies and give them out for free. Something. But I am just one small fish in a very large pond.

Check out her little buy me now for $999.95 auction:

Arghh. . .

Infuriated. . .

With asking prices like that it's no wonder she can use fresh boxes to mail out in.

How much does she want? I bet she's a cashier at TRU. She must have more than one case to have got the photos of one unboxed. $999 for just 32, what a bargain...

she has no scrupels! It says right on the box TRU give away...I would have to conclude, she is at best, dealing with thieves. At worst a thief!

I am reporting this auction to ebay. I will also forward the information to the TRU regional director.

This is illegal. Plain and simple.

**TheBigSloppy** · 11-02-2002

That sealed box doesn't even include the auctions in which she is selling the R2 individually for an asking price of $19.95.

**Nexu** · 11-02-2002

That sort of think ticks me off. I hope TRU sues her ***.

**sith_killer_99** · 11-02-2002

I just tried to e-mail ebay about this auction and recieved a message saying that my e-mail could not be sent!

That's OK, I tried to warn them.

We'll see what happens when I contact Toys R Us!

BTW, I just e-mailed the seller with "ask the seller a question" to see if this auction is even legal.

**Deoxyribonucleic** · 11-02-2002

That's $31.25 per r2, for a figure you can get for free????

I'm sure whoever is selling it is assuming whoever buys it will be doing the same thing the seller is....selling it at an extremely overinflated gargantuan price!

What kinda MOM would do such a thing???

**TheBigSloppy** · 11-02-2002

I can only imagine some greedier person buying this unopened/sealed box and sending it into Toy Grader or whomever to grade all 32 uncirculated R2s in hopes that one will register a C-10.

I'm surprised this lowly seller hasn't considered that option.

Picture the auction now. . .

One uncirculated Silver Anniversary R2, AFA 90. Yours for only $999.95. . .

Unfortunately, someone out there will probably pay that kind've dough.

Sad.

Very sad.

Let us know how your pursuit transpires. I hope we can bag this chick. You think she "lives in a van, down by the river?"
