Someone give Gary Smith a nudge?

[DarthStanley]

Gary's aware of it lads!

I caught it when it first popped up on sunday & pm'd him straight away,he said he'll keep an eye on it!

I don't think he's too keen on the price though! :lol:

 

[weasel]

He was online after Joe's initial post so he probably saw it anyway, assuming he hadn't already picked it/been alerted.

I'll not have a bad word said over the seller. Dave is the guy who has supplied with with my 3 latest additions and all at reasonable prices. It's not his fault he hasn't much idea over how much things go for at the mo

 

[**Delboy75**]

Hey Lee,
well next time you speak to him can you ask him to drop his tri logo warok to £50 from £300, so i can buy the darn thing :mrgreen:

Hey Lee,

Like I said he doesn't really have much idea over current prices,just that he's had them for 20yrs so they must be worth loads.

 

[**Delboy75**]

I'd make him an off ebay offer, only if i had something up for £300 and some random guy offered me £50 i'd piss myself laughing. Shame really cus its looks quite a nice one.

 

[**Delboy75**]

Well i thought **** it and have made him an offer of £50 lol.

I put it nicely tho, so he shouldn't be too offended :mrgreen:

 

[**Delboy75**]

Well that offer went down well lol.


His reply,

Guess you will have to wait then until soemone sells at that price.
50
quid offer is a laughable





My Reply

Well i suggest you do some research yourself then, cus £300 IS laughable.
£50 is the going rate pal, so good luck with £300 lmao.

 

[PGowdy]

What's the link to this item "worth" £300 Del??

 

[**Delboy75**]

Its this one, only reason i like this one is the sticker for my run.
He could possibly get £60 for it at a push lol.

This is the message i sent him.

Hi there,
Im interested in this figure for my last 17 tri logo run (with
£1.59 sticker)
The only problem is the price lol.
These usually sell for
£40-50 ish.

I know you have him up for £300, but thats honestly way way
off what these fetch.
I hope this doesn't sound really cheeky,as i hate
getting really low offers for my stuff but would you take £50 for him?
paypal gift?

Obvioulsy its no where near your asking price so please
don't be offended. Its a genuine offer.

 

[PGowdy]

That's who i thought it would be. All his stuff is way way overpriced. It's not selling either so he's in for a long wait.
Yellow bubbled Rancor Keeper 79.99( :lol: ) - worth 25-30
Yellow bubbled IG-88 ROTJ 119!! - worth about 30(at best)
Tri-logo Biker Scout 59.99 (i just bought one in better condition for 40)
Tri-logo Wicket 79.99 - worth about 30.

The list goes on and on. The thing that gets me is i've seen his Yoda go round twice and not sell and he keeps re-listing at the same price. I could understand if that was the going rate and you were determined to get it but he clearly has no idea what things are worth.
:roll: :roll:

Out of 35 MOCs he has listed- 1 of them has a bid on. :lol:

 

[**Delboy75**]

Well i have had some back and forth banter with him lol.

He says he's gonna put him back in the attic.

The guy is CRAZY lmao

 

[PGowdy]

Well to be fair, the only way he's gonna get his asking price for them is to put them back in the attic... for about 30 years. Otherwise they'll go round and round on ebay incurring listing fees that will cost as much as the figure before long. :lol:

 

[**Delboy75**]

Yep.

Its a shame cus it fits my focus.
I could get another ive seen, but its overpriced too at £85.
Nevermind its not like its a rare peice, it just bugs me seeing it in my search everyday knowing i need it lol.

If he put it up for a sensible price of £60 it would of sold by now (to me lol).
Even a AFA 85 one wouldn't get anywhere near his asking price.

Thing is some of his stuff is priced spot on (the stuff that sells), and he has some nice bits. BUT he is wasting his time and money relisting things for STUPIDLY high prices.

Heck i paid £280 for my tri yak, so how the **** is warok worth more :mrgreen:

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah you're spot on. He's an idiot.
Another one will come along.
Also, i just spotted this in the description... "Whilst I am very sad to part with my Star Wars collection, I do try to value them at a starting price of roughly half the true value, and I will consider a Buy it Now alternative, but PLEASE, dont insult my intelligence by making stupid offers . Not only will you waste your time, but you will probably get a terse reply. I have already listed several Star Wars items, and on one particular figure I had ELEVEN...blah blah

So he reckons this piece is worth £600!!?? REALLY?? :lol:

 

[PGowdy]

Have you sent him the link to the one for 85 (and not selling), just to show him how way off he is?? That's what i would have done.

 

[**Delboy75**]

Its not on ebay, its from a dealer so you expect it to be overpriced.

It won;t matter what you say to him tbh, he thinks its worth that and seeing as he has been collecting for over 20 years he must be right....my bad :roll:

I may make him an offer of £51 next time he lists it lol.

 

[PGowdy]

:lol: Please do.

 

[PGowdy]

The price he seems to think things are worth i might start selling to him! :lol:
I should buy this and sell it to him for 200. He'd think it was a bargin!

 

[ODB]

I've been watching some of his stuff too and it is a joke the prices he's asking. He makes Brians Toys seem well priced, I want a Trilogo Warok too so I might offer £51.50.
