I was wondering when a graded Mr. Gold would appear on eBay...

The seller is diddlejuice. What's a diddle? Better yet; what is diddlejuice?

Ahhhh yes, the graded LEGO. That was a great topic.

still makes more sense than grading a sealed box

What's a diddle? A con. Fraud.

YMMV

Now its a lovely set, one of my favourites. But used, no box, in a pretty shitty condition? Its not worth close to £200.

And for the sake of humanity I hope no one is stupid enough to pay $2500 for a minifigure of which there are at least 5000 in circulation. Its fucked up.

Fauch

I would be quite pissed off to pay 200£ for such a set to find out that the seller didn't even bother washing the pieces.

cheshirecat

Yes, and some of the parts have toothmarks, some are really badly worn, a couple are discoloured, some are replaced.

But its ok because for £200 you also get...

 ONE BOX-FLAP.

SumoLego

One box flap is where it's at!

And on a completely different and unrelated note, I'm looking for an auction for a Blacktron box that has four sides and a flap.

Trying to read that description is giving me a headache. Oh the colors! Why can't ebay auctions just have plain and simple text that's all the same size? I guess sellers think crazy text makes the sale. Not in my book...

"Slight toothing" is a term I never thought I'd see. Don't worry though, it's only slightly eaten. 

SumoLego

^ Slightly pre-chewed.

Free surprise gift with purchase! Maybe a new car?

WTF, really? Does anyone ever send these clowns a message? I sent one guy a message that was selling a "Cloud City Boba Fett". It had no Leg or Arm printing; it was just a regular Boba Fett. He was snotty with me, but eventually took the listing down.

@Brick Plant Flower!

It had a white rangefinder, didn't it?  I'm on to you...

I was interested in the flower but then saw he wanted an additional $11.99 for shipping.

"Or a special gift to your little one." If I'm giving any "little one" that they expect me to pay my car and a half for I just won the powerball @somewhere around a billion.
No really I swear I had those, if anyone has any take a picture and send it to him with a message of supreme sarcasm.

Fauch

did I read 25 thousands dollars for a single piece?

Fauch said:

Of course not- that would be silly.


There's also almost another $799 on the price- can't let those Duplo parts go too cheaply.

Oh, yeah. And $12 to ship it. Must be all the insurance driving up the shipping costs.

MattsWhat

I was about the pull the trigger on the $25,000 flower... then I noticed it isn't even unique, there are two for sale.  I'm not paying that kind of money unless he destroys the other one as part of deal.

TigerMoth

That's not good enough. There are ten in that set. So he'd have to hunt down the others too.

Ha! Someone was selling a ucs hail fire Droid and it a pepsi can full (for scale?) I asked him if it came with the pepsi. He did not respond :(

BrickDancer

^That actually looks quite good for a DIY 3D printing. A little bit rough on the Lightsaber hilt though. I'm not so inclined to buy one as much as it is serving as inspiration for me to do something similar. Imagining how a Queen Amidala figure would look like if it was done in all white plastic to allow for painting as you would Warhammer figures or such resin statues.

me thinks some one been playing with a 3D printer.
and a print from a 3D printer is not $100

Fauch

well you're mostly paying for the time spent working on it, not for the plastic. doesn't seem ridiculous if it's an unique piece.

Pure gold boxes are the the best way to ship any Lego set, they ensure no one will waste time stealing the contents when the box is of such a high value!

Are you trying to compare finding a handful of LEGO pieces with finding a virgin in Paris?

SumoLego

Technically, I am suggesting as much.

bet that he got that from bricks and pieces?

Pitfall69

^The price is really not that ridiculous (based on current pricing), especially if it is sealed, but it is crazy that those cloth pieces are going for so much money.

yeah, because you know, lego is worth more than gold.

this one is mine, i'll be honest :) its crazy because I sold all my other venoms for 20 gbp so this one rose in price (and it will even more :D )

That seems a bit steep.  Although if that sells, I've got my children's college educations covered...
