This seller had this set of POTA figures (in repro boxes) on Ebay just days ago. I believe he sold all 10 figures for $637. Now he has them on Ebay again but he's auctioning the off separately. He also states in the auction's that the boxes are repros. I guess the high bidder in his previous auction backed-out. Hehehe. :smiley1:

What sucks is, because of that dang repro box (which is worthless) it's obsuring what kind of boots he's wearing.

Re-listed due to I listed them not knowing they are in reproduction boxes so I cancelled the sale
Only like a dozen people (including the maker of the boxes) contacted him about that during his previous auction :rolleyes:
And he most likely didn't cancel the sale, the highest bidder probably refused to pay.

And notice how this sentence is written a lot smaller than the rest of the description ;) :rolleyes:

This guy is full of it, I wouldn't want anything to do with him, even if I did like what he had to offer, which I don't

Believe it or not, but he's doing almost as good selling them separately as he did selling them as a lot. And with a couple of hours to go he might even make more money than the first time.
Goes to show that honesty will get you further ;)

and I doubt these were found in the attic with repro boxes to go along with them...

Just goes to show some people aren`t taking note. Some of them are hitting silly prices (Zira and Burke for instance). And I recognise some high bidders who ought to know better.

Makes you feel like buying loose ones and just pop them into repro boxes and make more money :grin:
