Another case of "OopsI should not overspend" AKA OUCH!

[Joe]

Buyer pays $450 for this a few weeks ago - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300553028095#ht_500wt_1413

Decides he wants to sell and makes only $158 - http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-vintage-tri-logo-Princess-Leia-Organa-afa60-/220822055984?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item336a052c30#ht_500wt_1413

In fact I could highlight this ebay members misfortune a few times but I guess he needs the money as he is selling virtually everything he has just bought in the last couple of months.

Shame for him but it just goes to show that when you hit those Buy it nows without really looking for any others you more than likely overpay and can't recuperate your money

 

[weasel]

Ooohhh that's gonna hurt!

 

[Joe]

I am waiting to see if he makes his money back on this one as well -

Paid $250 - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400223440780#ht_3700wt_1396

Currently at $2.25 - http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-vintage-tri-logo-Rebel-Commando-moc-afa80-/220822968825?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item336a1319f9#ht_500wt_1413

:?

That's a nice enough item. I've no ide about the price of Tri logos, but one thing is for sure it looks a dam sight better in the wormhole photo!

 

[Joe]

Yeah he should have just copied the pictures from the original listings as his pics are crap!

That RC is a nice one I must admit but if you look closely at the top left of the card (top right of the picture) you can see a big blob of sticker residue..which for an AFA 80 I don't think should really be there, do you?

 

[weasel]

Good spot.
Although I know AFA don't grade all MOC's to the same standard. For instance it's easier for a LL to get an 80 than for a Kenner. So possibly Tri Logo's get a slightly easier ride than ROTJ. The bubble looks pish for an 80 as well, but then Tri Logo bubbles are always bad.

Wow, that went shockingly low. I would have paid more than that! Is there something wrong with his selling tecdhnique?

 

[PGowdy]

He has seom nice bits. Do you know if he delivers internationally?

 

[Joe]

He CAN but he doesn't offer it on ebay for some reason.

He's been bidding and BIN'ing a lot of trilogos over the last few months (high prices) and now it looks like he's selling up.

 

[Caswellbot]

Ouch!! That smarts!

 

[tigerham]

Yeah Joe I bid on a few of his things and they pretty much all went for decent prices specially the Imperial Gunner!

 

[PGowdy]

I asked him if he could deliver to the UK and he said "yeah for $35". ****ing joker. :lol:

 

[MikeStrange]

I was so tempted to get that Tri Leia a while back. I cant believe I missed the resale listing, whoever won that auction got a bargain there :mrgreen:
