jenius Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 I noticed this the other day. I believe there are ones at BIN for $60 also? What the heck gives???? Yamato 1/60 VF1S for the low low price of $140. Pirated pics too. http://cgi.ebay.com/JP-YAMATO-MACROSS-ROBO...1QQcmdZViewItem Only an hour left, get your bids in 315064[/snapback]
Die, Alien Scum! Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) While the auction itself is not so absurd, the winning bid is really over the top. But this is probably just because the title states "VERY RARE". Oh yeah, very rare indeed! Especially since Yamato is releasing even more! Way to do your research! Link The real kicker is that there are pre-orders on eBay for the same item for like $135! This guy's gonna punch himself in the nuts when he realizes that he paid over twice what he had to! Welcome to the wonderful world of eBay! I've seen Low-Viz go for less! Edited July 30, 2005 by Die, Alien Scum!

Roy's Blues Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 While the current bid is not that high, CHECK OUT THE SHIPPING! holy fee avoidance!

I guess it's better than waiting two weeks for it to ship.
Valk009 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Well, with all those high Ebay fees and then later on the PayPal fees for some...btw you can lose up to 15% of your final sale price; it is no wonder that people come up with all kinds of tricks to avoid these fees!
LORD KUNGFU Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 yeah, you cant blame people for trying to avoid the fees. IF you sell a lot on ebay, the fees can eat up profits quick. IF your genna spend $300 on a low viz, if the seller sells it for $5, but charges $295 to ship, you are still spending $300 either way, so what does it matter. As a buyer, you got to be on the lookout for these things so you dont bid to high.

Dangaioh Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Granted this is not an auction, sorry if it was posted already. I know most of you are getting sick with TISNC's high prices, but this one takes the cake: http://store.yahoo.com/tisinc99/macvarfighik.html
jenius Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 That doesn't strike me as too insane. It's a lot more than they used to go for but it seems like all the 1/48 prices have been climbing. The Max 1A has been selling at about $200 lately.... that thing used to be worth just as little as the Hikkie 1A

kanata67 Posted August 10, 2005 Author Posted August 10, 2005 Man Kanata67 you must be on ebay more than I am. Of the same note I like this sellers auctions http://stores.ebay.ca/Rawk-Gurls-Stuff 318687[/snapback] once a week at best just to see if I won anything. I just do comprehensive searches to make sure nothing cool slips through the crack. I am a cheap SOB so anytime something I just can't say no to comes along I just can't say no. FYI you have the privilage of being the seller of the most I have ever spent on a single auction to date. I really do like that sellers approach... I should get my wife to do that to increase sales remember... no matter how beutiful a woman is... somewhere there is a guy who is tired of f_cking her

It takes an absolute lack of effort on the bidders part. If you looked at the Ebay stores you would find them for $160 easily (and that's still $30 more than you'd find them at other retailers as preorders online). They searched enough to find this one item, how did they not notice the other items in their search?

Ouch! H 319284[/snapback] You only get robber when it's against your will. This was just plain haste and stupidity on the buyers part. 319291[/snapback] Hey now! I'm one of the guys who's usually sticking up for free markets and I think a seller should be able to sell at whatever price he wants so long as he's not misrepresenting his product. But, I think you could make a solid case that calling a Roy 1/48 "very RARE and long time sold out everywhere" constitutes misrepresenting the product. The only question here really is whether or not the seller did so intentionally. In this case, the news of yet another re-release is so new that he probably didn't do it on purpose. But, had the seller known about the impending re-release, yeah, I'd say that he would be robbing people if he continued to say that the Roy 1/48 is "super rare and long time sold out everywhere." In this particular case though, I did not intend to say that the seller was "robbing" the buyer. Rather, the buyer is just sorta getting "robbed" by circumstance and his own ignorance about how plentiful the 1/48 Roy will eventually be. I have no problem with a seller making as much as possible from a buyer as long as he isn't wilfully taking advantage of a buyer's ignorance. But we can still feel bad for a guy who just may be a Macross fan who doesn't yet know about MW or other news outlets for Japanese toy release dates. Poor guy.

aaajin Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 I think the seller is tryin to fetch some good $$ using the 1/48 pics for a 1/60 auction...lame bastid HERE

xMaDxPeNgUiNx Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Hmm... truly interesting the way some sellers believe that their product are worth alot more than it actually is. Sad for the people who purchase from them.
