do these Star Wars auctions look suspicious to else??

[toys2cool]

Check out this guys auctions,he says he bought them a garage sale but the origin is unknown,then when you check his feedback you could see he buys and collects Star Wars,should a collector know the difference between a repro figure and an original? and know that if they were original he'd be selling them for a lot more then what he's asking? This sounds like BS to me and they look like repro's to me as well,what do you guys think?

Yes we all know you don't

I would steer away. His history shows that he has bought some rare star wars toys, so I'm sure he knows what's original and what is not. He never includes "original" in is auction description. Just my 2 cents...

I would buy this one instead it's a better deal:

You can tell it's not original by the shape of the bubbles on the "short" figures. The original short bubbles have a long "stem" on the bottom.

As noted, he cleverly worded "original figure" in the title but not original package.

When you compare his auctions to other vintage carded figs up for auction like these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/vintage-star-wars-12-back-princess-leia-organa-moc_W0QQitemZ300128686467QQihZ020QQcategoryZ50271Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

you can see the differences, including the fact the color of the General Mills blue circle on the back is way off. Some of his cards even appear not to have punch holes - may just be the pics.

yeah I emailed the seller and he says there no way to know for sure if they are repro's,what BS! but w/e feel sorry for the guy who buys those.Actually the toyvault store bought most of them LOL! what idiots,I hate those people :grin:

That's not true, they could have been Ultimate Warrior figures. :googly::rotfl:

Wow that is a bad custom carded R2 - stay away!

Whoops too late for someone...

Just checked his other auctions as well, all repro cards / bubbles. Bubble sizes are off, card colours off etc etc.
