Ridiculous eBay Auctions

GallardoLU

the product is a bit ridiculous but the price seems fairly accurate. that said if I was going to get a space invaders themed table, I'd want the background black, all those other colors hide the invaders a bit to much for my tastes.

That has to be one of the most ridiculous auctions I have ever seen.

^^ It is completely horrible but if you had the time to take it apart and were interested in the bricks it might possibly be a decent value that way?

Pitfall69

^I would imagine it wouldn't be shipped that way.

Escapade

Surely far too good to be true...

This must be quite rare to command such a price, a must have collectors piece :(

^I think that guy would sell his underwear if he could.

It's not that rare either. Order three of a larger set or six of a smaller set, and what do they often come in?

PS. If anyone wants an extremely rare "Dol Guldur Battle" shipping box, I have two available at only £50 each. :-)

Decimal point positioning error?

CCC

^ Looking at his pricing for other stuff, to me it looks like it is not an error. Just overpriced.

Some minifigs a guy was trying to flog on a facebook BST group. Probably has $20-$30 worth of figs there. The only parts worth anything now are the heads underneath those helmets (as long as he hasn't been at those too).

btw that's meant to be 'Zombie Yoda'.

andhe

^I hear Zombie Yoda is going to be in Episode 7. Along with 'badly painted clone trooper'.

Shib

How can you tell they aren't genuine? The finish is so high quality! ...

edgarallanpoe1422

He's still at it.

edgarallanpoe1422

Well fornicate me someone actually bought Zombie Yoda.

I have to admit the bomb skeleton is rather funny (still horrible) but I couldn't help be think of those "Clash of Clans" commercials.

How about £1500 for a sealed black chrome Vader poly that is missing Vader's head?

^My god, those are some of the worst fakes I've seen. The grin on Emmets face kind of sums it up. I really don't think the sellers close up photography is doing any favours!

BrickDancer

It hurts the eyes to see these things! But the crazy part is knowing that there are folks out there happy to buy them :shivers:

prevere

should we create another thread called, ridiculous fake eBay auctions?

I live about 40 mins from Hell......Michigan, USA. Is there an actual place called
Rhoose, The Vale of Glamorgan? I feel this person lives somewhere in Middle Earth.

cheshirecat

Yep and I've been there lots.For Wales it's a syprisingly coherent name.

@Pitfall69‌ have you ever driven over to Hell to mail out your Taxes? they literally stamp the envelope "Taxes from Hell" before sending them out :)

No!!! I need to do that one year.

Or just have another child and go there when it's due? 'Baby from Hell' ok you'll be paying off that joke for 21 years, but still.

(I'm a few days late responding , but...)
Whoah! Just checking out a thread that looks interesting and I see this! Rhoose is just round the corner from me, like 3 minutes in the car, I could walk it through a nice country park, and I've got a load of friends who live there. It's quite a nice drive round the end of the Cardiff airport runway too, there aren't many long 180 degree corners around you can take at 60 for the kicks!
I do live in Barry though, and that's an even more questionable name!

And I really hope I don't know the person selling those terrible, terrible fakes! I can't quite believe their feedback, though I suppose they're so blatant that anyone buying them would already know, or not care/not know any better.

^ I'm holding out for an ExoSuit signed by all four Beatles.

I see a lot of these on eBAY, does anybody buy them? Is it just a catch for the newbs?

Only the blue classic space guy has any gold at all and the red is down to just an outline of his emblem. But it's the Futuron guys that get me, only the Blue has the right face shield, and that seems really common for these individual figure auctions even though - in all cases - it would be a cheaper to buy a set with the figure.

prevere

Once in awhile you'll see a sale with stuff like this. But you never know if the buyer ACTUALLY PAID for it. It might have been bought by a 3-year-odl who hijacked an ipad. You could list one even at half the price with beautiful moons, and never get a sale (and you'd still be gouging the buyer).

When the TLG movie came out. For about a week I saw classic space blue figs that sold for $50.

those are highly suspicious, and the creation of the account only 3 weeks ago is more so. if he relists again I dare someone to buy it :P

zipsforbananas

It's almost worth the risk if you pay by paypal, but yeah, new account, only 5 feedback stars, red flags aplenty!
