Default Transformers Collectors V3

Welcome to the Transformers / toy discussion thread. Remember, the On-Topic room isn't here solely for political debates. The room is also for threads that contain much insight and perspective that deserve to stay on-topic. (sports, hobbies, news, etc)


Since we are in a new forum, we'll have to change posting styles. Please read this over and try your best to accommodate for the "On-Topic" room.

1. We mainly discuss Transformers branded toys, but any toy is welcome into the discussion. We're often on many sites that have other items of interest, bring them up as you see fit.

2. Use the "edit" button more frequently. If you're posting eBay auctions the group might like, please do your best to incorporate it into one post. Feel free to use the "size" and "bold" tags to bring attention to something important.

3. When posting a reply, please put thought into what you're saying. I'm not calling anyone out, but posts like "cool..." or smilie only aren't acceptable. Please keep smilies to a minimum too.


If you're new to this thread, there are many toy enthusiasts here. It's not always the same 3 people, we've actually gathered more and more contributing members as time goes by. (We started with 3 or 4, now we're up to 10 or 12) Please chip in if you like.


Just a reminder, I am a moderator in this forum. I do not have to rely on others to apply warning points.

Thanks to all!

Andrew

Why is it that I always try to post a message at the exact time that you close the thread?

oh well, it happens
It's a good thing he cleared that up, because I was going to send him a message saying that was way too low.

Andrew, did you try to send that counter-offer?

============

Ok. Who is planning on selling what? Andrew & Ham = insecticons. Who's dumping constructicons?

Then you should send this person a message.

The other UM auction from the same seller on Jan 24th:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6031792449

The one I got:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWN:IT

If she isn't exaggerating the descriptions, I got the one in better condition for about $20 less.

Someone should tell her I ripped her off, even though she was the one who set up the auction parameters. :chuckles:

========

If I would have known that JDM Primus is fetching $190, I would have bought two extra to sell.

========

Also, we've got a good thing going with the KO's. If Andrew can trade off a set of KO tapes for an Alternators Swerve, we've definitely got good pricing on the KO's.

=========

I let the old thread run over because around post 999 we were getting critical bulk order info out.

Not yet, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that.

5 out of my 6 are fine. Getting Scrapper will be a bitch though.

2 ways to look at this ...
- we have truly odd and rare items

- ditch it before they're KO'ed. Since we have insider info on KO's, we know what's coming ... and these aren't.

US sellers are getting the highest premium for those. $130 + $50 shipping = Primus from Asia, which are selling.

We have the best pricing on KO's. Nobody has an "in" like we do, nobody.

i'm keeping my one constructicon, i'm selling the insecticons. these may still be good enough to AFA.. :thinking: :dunno: i'll get your guys' opinions on that later. if not worth it, i'll just list in the order that andrew specified.

I wonder what we should do though ... should we gather our pieces and sell as an MISB set?

$799.99 BIN, starting bid at $599.99?

You should try to get a loose one and sell it with the card...or sell the nicer one with the card and you'd still have one to play with. I have two loose Devastators...I'm not sure what the condition of the second scrapper is, but you could have it if you want to make your money back.
