Exactly this.

THIS: "That being said, I always refund the difference if I happen to overcharge for shipping anyway, so people either pay exact cost or less. "

I just fell into temptation- the chance to potentially buy the item at less than a given price, yet I really wanted the item so I decided to bid $80 on it, above the Buy it now but effectively rolling the dice and ending up with an unfavorable outcome, even though I was hoping for nobody to bid. This is especially boggling since it had a previous $49 opening bid and nobody decided to bid. You could call this "stealth gambling", but I felt no different that leaving a casino with a loss, yet still felt happy that it was a nice experience and I am going to get something. You just have to sacrifice more than you want sometimes. I'm still going to share and post this on the general forum when it arrives to share to you fans as this is a valuable resource to present to you!

Is there a reason that these two figures sold for over $1200? I know the Splinter figure is an error with the fan club offer, but I didn't think they were worth this much.

*MrPliggins* · 03-24-2013, 04:07 PM

Yes, it is worth that much.

Redemption · 03-24-2013, 04:22 PM

The undercover don didnt effect or dictate the price. The fan club splinter is worth the $1200.

i don't think the seller knew what he had since he started the auction at $20.

I bet he didnt know but the bidding dictated the price and he got what it was worth. He lost nothing.

This. rarity does not equal value. I just made a smoothie. There is only one in the world exactly like it. It must be worth millions! How am I supposed to drink it now!?!?!

Fan clubs were some of the very first off the lines, if I'm not mistaken, which I may be.

Ill give you $2 for that smoothie seeing as no one else wants it.
I guess if everyone wanted it then maybe you would get millions for it

I't like the scratch situation, alot of people want him because he is "rare" but he really isn't, that doesn't stop people paying hundreds for him.

Now it has shipping AND another added amount.

What is going on here. Did the seller do something because the auction ended so cheap?

The items are very tiny and no way it is $7.00 to ship.

Well, the $2.95 item plus the $2.07 shipping equals $5.02, but contact the seller about such an additional charge and ask him that if PayPal double charges this ($10.04), then ask for a rebate if necessary. Before you purchase, check to see if $5.02 has already been deducted from Paypal. If not, go ahead and purchase but check again to see that just $5.02 has been debited. Otherwise, this would be seller's remorse.

It's looking like he tried to create his own invoice to combine the cost and shipping, but than whatever was wrong with the original order fixed itself and was never canceled. So now you have the original charge plus his attempt to manually fix the problem.

I take in so much info and learn a lot on here. Your ideas and opinions ARE appreciated!

I was more thinking about how surprised he must have been when it did jump that high.
