Think about it, BIN of $175 per bug ... damn.

How about this?

we remote sell a set?
You take your 1 kickback, you can take my bombshell and shrapnel ... we complete a sealed set and sell it. We split everything 3 ways ... I get 2 of the ways, you get 1. :dunno:
After further review, the Jumpstarters aren't that bad. I think I'll keep those. The 2 sealed bugs are rough, but sealed. I think what annoys me the most is the way they were packed and the fact that one of the Kickbacks wasn't sealed.

Ham, be sure to let me know what your BIN is set for. Maybe $184.99? Let me know about your shipping rate too. I don't want to undercut a possible sale of yours due to cheaper shipping.

On my auction, I will force an immediate PayPal payment.
$184.99 + $6 shipping is what I'd charge. What would you suggest for the opened Kickback? I took 6 pictures of each from every angle.

wow ... holy shit, I think I got the worst of everything.


dude, if the Kickback is still sealed to bubble, that can easily go for $130.





I'm about to test run a Shrapnel right now. If you can hold tight, we can monitor this for success. If it flies, we know to charge more than $184.99, k?

Sounds good. :goodjob: I filed a complaint about the opened one and to complain about the poor packing.

although we'd like to have a set of MISB insecticons in C9 condition, it might not ever happen for under $200.


Either:
a) like the item for what it is no matter the condition
b) do everything you can to get over $67 (item cost + shipping) and call it profit.


These items are so rare that we command the market value on them. We could throw them out there for $250 each and say lick my ass.

The insectons are pretty brutal.


I'm pissed, but right now, I'm going to try to make some money, fast. This isn't worth keeping.




Now, I'm not sure what to do with the constructicons. The bubbles are cleanly seperated. (no tears, nothing) Should I ...

a) attempt to put them back together with spray glue w/ qtip application
b) sell them as is
guess what, same fucking shit here. i just got home, opened the package, came online to vent. she packed everything liek shit.. stuck everything together in a box, no padding. it's definitely not worth AFA'ing the constructicon. looks like the same thing happened. the seal broke during shipment because of the shitty padding, and the thing is a bit crushed.

i don't even know what to do..

:sad: we all got owned by her newfound "knowledge" of what they should be worth. :madr:

the insecticons for the most part seem ok, it's just the one constructicon. andrew, how did you go about resealing yours? no tears here either. what sucks is the plastic got crushed, and it got fucking crushed when she closed and taped the box, because it was a bit narrower than the stacked insecticons and constructicon.

what the fuck.

I can't believe the bad luck you guys got. Grimlock must have really thrown a bucketful of sand in her vagina for her to be so spiteful. She was pretty careful with my stuff, bubble wrap and everything, but to you guys she just screwed.

Let's see, I received 5 things from her. The 2 Jumpstarters I'm ok with = 2 positive feedbacks.
The 2 sealed bugs are rough combined with the poor packing = 2 neutral feedbacks.
The opened bug isn't what was described = 1 negative feedback.

can anyone guess why scrapper got fucked? check the pictures. keep in mind, the insecticons were side by side (as seen in the pic), and stacked ON TOP of the constructicon. how much room is there in the box to stack those on top of each other? what is that? 1 cm? for the constructicon? what.. the.. fuck..

anyway, guys, i want to coordinate my insecticon sales with you. upon further inspection, they fortunately made it with just normal shelfwear and are still sealed.
