Panzer Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 ok.. little OT but MAN look at all the auctions that just went up fo' sale. Some nuts been squirlling away all those valks.. guess its xmas all over again for him if he sells these. Quote
do not disturb Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 yeah, i'm not sure who this person is(as far as on MW) but i assume hes a member.....that smokes too much crack. if he gets 1 sucker to pay that much for a LV, i'll eat my valk. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 Did I miss a link?. Can someone post a link to his Items Selling page? Quote
Panzer Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQgotopageZ1QQsa...osortpropertyZ1 41 Low Viz's total.. Edited December 28, 2004 by Panzer Quote
mechaninac Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) Here you go Edit: Damn, Panzer beat me to it... Edit again: BTW, I have a Low Viz in mint condition that I'm willing to sell for a paltry $699.95, with a takatoys sticker sheet, plus S&H...any takers??? Edited December 28, 2004 by mechaninac Quote
UN Spacy Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) For $700 a pop? That'd better come with a free trip to Japan. Yikes! Edited December 28, 2004 by UN Spacy Quote
HWR MKII Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) hmmm no pics of the items and an outrageous price to boot. i trust this guy about as far as i could flick him. for 700 bucks the thing had better be voice activated and run on fusion motors. i could buy another camaro to build for the price he is asking. dont post an item unless you have your own pics for it. i notice the low vis nose and wing numbers are sequential in order. if anyone sees a valk that is already owned by someone else youll know if he is valid or not Edited December 28, 2004 by HWR MKII Quote
Anubis Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) Someone sure took advantage of the 10 cent list insertions. Price gouging ass. He jsut sold one on the 16th with a $310 BIN. Wonder what the deal is with this. Did he have a legitimate super stash, or is this fraud central? Here's this guy's selling page. Yeah right. Edited December 28, 2004 by Anubis Quote
do not disturb Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) link deleted... damn you mofos are quick as hell. added: i've seen this seller many of times on ebay before but i've never actually bought/won anything from the guy so as far the validity of him and/or his auction is unknown. if anyones bought anything from this person, please post.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 Somebody email the guy to see if he comes to macross world... I'm curious to know if it's godzilla? heh Quote
EXO Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 $4.10 to list them? If he sells one it would have been worth it. That's a silly price though, it's almost as if he doesnt want to sell them IF he has them at all. Did ARAFAT move to L.A.? He must have found the LowViz tree... Quote
Eternal_D Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 I see none of you read the item descriptions... "Item up for bid will be posted LATER DURING THE WEEKEND. UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY FOR THEW ITEM, please do not bid until the auction is listed with proper items." he put it up at those prices so nobody would bid on it so he can list things later. dunno if that's allowed by ebay but I've seen a few other sellers do that too.

Myersjessee Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 Talk about flooding the market...man... Quote
promethuem5 Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 ??? so he's just advertising with all those auctions? what the hell? Quote
EXO Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) Ah, bastid Ebay expert! He was just taking advantage of the .10 listing and has yet to list them... IIRC, this was done by Noel and MN last year! Hey Eternal_D, quit posting and work on those hands! Edited December 28, 2004 by >EXO< Quote
Panzer Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 (edited) so dumb to list an item without having the auction ready.. so shady.. just causes confusion for everybody if its legit.. Edited December 28, 2004 by Panzer Quote
do not disturb Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 dunno if that's allowed by ebay but I've seen a few other sellers do that too. its probably not, but ebay don't care, they only see these.... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Quote
EXO Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 I say screw it... it's only once and a while you can screw ebay, where ebay can screw you anytime they want... he's not hurting the buyer as long as the bidder reads the description carefully. I sense a lot of Macross stuff is about to be listed!!! Quote
Aegis! Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 I wonder what will the final prices be once he puts them for definitive sale. hopefully no more than the Super 1Js Quote
Anubis Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 He's also asking #180 for a MPC Roy -1S. Quote
Nightbat Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 I have a LV for sale, just €1400,- it's limited (meaning I have only 1) So what brainless idiot buyer will take it off my hands? Quote
VF-1Guy Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 Doing something like this kinda annoys me. I'm not into screwing Ebay since the company has provided me with a service that allows me to unload my old stuff for much more than I ever would have been able to at a yard sale, a flea market or on newsgroups. Ebay has been a godsend for me. I've been screwed by buyers on Ebay, but I've never been screwed by the company itself. Quote
Panzer Posted December 29, 2004 Author Posted December 29, 2004 ^^ if you find a quarter on the ground do you photocopy it and put fliers up around the neighborhood incase the person who lost it is still looking for it? Quote
Valk009 Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 I do not believe that guy has all those LVs stashed up That is almost impossible, someone should ask him to take some photos of all LVs lined up and when he cannot deliver, well then we know it is a phoney Andy Quote

How is he screwing eBay? eBay already made money off him, they don't care either way. Quote
promethuem5 Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 He's not screwing Ebay persay...just abusing the system to do a pretty dick thing....advertising what might be a vaporware like that...I wonder if he actually listed so many ads bc/ hes got so many or bc/ he thinks the sheer volume of his ads will sell four or five of them. I agree that we should request a side by side pic of them all. Quote
CID Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 I agree that we should request a side by side pic of them all. Why????? Do you plan on buying one at that price????? The auction clearly stated that the actual auction will be posted later in the week or am I mislead??? Quote
Valk009 Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 Anyone who bids on his LVs' is either extremly loaded (most likely has a money printing machine in the basement) or a real idiot. Just by doing a little research, you will know that a LV can be had for roughly US$200-250! Andy Let's see who will fall into the trap Quote
promethuem5 Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 Good god no! I would never shell out that much for one! (more like, I could never get my parents to get me one haha) I was just interested to see if he was actually hoarding that many, or just trying to bog down the listings with ads.... Quote
Solscud007 Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 I dunno maybe he got the manufacturer to crank out more. Like how the Cannon Fodder came out when it was a TRU limited edition. Quote
The6ftTallAZN Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 I've been looking for a low viz but there's no way in hell am I going to pay $700 for one. Quote
Godzilla Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Somebody email the guy to see if he comes to macross world... I'm curious to know if it's godzilla? heh No it isnt me. I am keeping all of mine unless someone offers me $1000 per low vis. I got no problem with it. Seriously, I dunno if I trust this guy. Quote
Panzer Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 I hate greedy ebay sellers. The worst cases seem to come from the UK for some reason.. Quote
fearyaks Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 This thread should probably be closed. It's been established already that these guys are placeholders for something else. Quote
