I believe this is the second time this has been listed. He was asking a grand for it before, so he must want to get rid of it.

If I'm not mistaken, this is actually the 3rd time this has been for sale....the first time it sold for around $600, the 2nd time didnt meet reserve...I remember thinking something fishy was going on because right after it "sold" for $600 the next day or so it was back up for sale...I'm thinking he was bidding up his own auction with a shill account...but I'm not sure...

CudleyCowlick 09-23-2007 05:32 PM

800 bucks is a pretty good buy, especially if the condition is as flawless as this guy claims.

And I still don't have a few of those, not too mention that some of the ones I do have could be upgraded.

Yarggghhh! How many times a day must I be reminded that I'm not made of money?!?!

Spitfire 09-23-2007 09:27 PM

Lol yeah, well in the guys defense alot of people bid on their own stuff. But on top of that he has a best offer thing up so it's not to bad.

I just think it's a great way to get a collection started if you wanted to.

VaughnMichael 09-23-2007 09:44 PM

it's worth it i'd say there's some very rare things in that lot from 1994.
But really who has that kind of money to just plop down these days.

Well, just cuz others do it doesn't make it right. It's sellers like that that drive me crazy. Prices are already high enough without unscrupulous sellers gauging up their own auctions. Not to mention this practice is illegal on ebay.

Spitfire 09-24-2007 08:51 PM

Yeah I know but sometimes if enough people break a rule, the rule goes away. hence why pot is legal in some states and almost legal here.

But yeah I don't think it's good either, but from what I heard Ebay takes as a cut it doesn't surprise me.

Atleast this auction has a best offer option.

Well, I sure hope that rule doesnt go away! If sellers were given free will to bid up their own auctions without consequence, we'd never know the fair market value of items....but enough of this rant... :)

Wildcat 09-25-2007 05:33 PM

That is soooooooo freak'n AMAZNING!!!!!!!

If I had the money I would bid and bid and bid and bid....I dont care how high it got,I would make sure I won.

CudleyCowlick 09-25-2007 06:40 PM

I can't believe that went for $620!!! Curse this infernal lack of money!

Since this guy only paid like $9 a figure, what do you wanna bet we'll see this listed for sale individually? I suspected it might go to a dealer.

OA 09-25-2007 08:36 PM

Yea, not a bad deal at all...esp. if he does turn around and sells them (which im sure he will)

CudleyCowlick 09-25-2007 08:42 PM

You know, I'm not too sure, I got nosy and started poking at this guy's feedback and whatnot, and he's on Ebay buying hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of stuff a week. Everything from TMNT to Transformers to Smurfs, and tons of big lots, and he's only ever sold 5 items on Ebay, none in the last 90 days.

So either he's buying on Ebay and selling somewhere else (could be) or he's just got tons of disposable income (must be nice) and a collection the size and scope of which working-class joes like me can only imagine.

It's Bruce Wayne.
