Thread: Seller coming clean.

  1. #1

    Seller coming clean.

    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.

    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
    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

    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
