POTF Nikto on e-bay

Hi guys,

This is for sale on e-bay...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280808708946?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Most of you have probably seen this listed, but I am pretty sure its a good re-card?

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Bram

I was talking about this one with Chris yesterday,

I can see what you mean - especially with the position of the coin. I also like the fact that it was bought 'on a con' !

The price suggests that some people at least think it is more than just a repro but having never seen one in the flesh then maybe one of our POTF chaps would like to comment ?

- if it is real then you might just have outed an auction as well - good job this isn't RS !

Not sure what outed an auction means matey?

Have I done something wrong? If so, I apologise... Just wanted to know the score with the figure?

I did like that comment about being on a con too... Had to re-read it several times!!

Cheers,

Bram

P.S I do apologise if I've upset anyone?!

You should ask Liam about 'outing' auctions :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol:

If you are not sure Bram its when you post a link to an open auction on to a forum

Sorry boys,

I thought this was the e-bay lsitings part? Not sure why it would affect anything?

Could you explain in lamens terms for me?

Cheers,

Bram

P.S Liam, can you shed some light?

Its just if a member here is bidding on an item you post a link to it can spoil it for that member, as then everyone knows & we could end up bidding against one another, which would be a little futile, must say I looked at that one & am undecided as I just don't know enough about them POTF cards or any other carded for that matter :lol:

Oh.... Okay. Thanks. I think I am probably safe from 'outing' this auction as a NIKTO on POTF MINT doesn't come up hardly ever and am sure you super sleuths have all seen it advertised. I'd be very surprised if you hadn't.

I have taken this under advisement, it's locked in the memory banks and shall never be repeated.

Cheers guys and apologies again!

Bram

Hey Bram. Its generally accepted on here mate and dont worry you have posted it in the right section

Franks bang on really

Its against forum rules on RS tho - http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9806

Fake.

For starters its IMPOSSIBLE to find a POTF Nikto, let alone one with a clear bubble.

An AFA 85Y would be a 3.5k item, a clear one would be fetching enough for a brand new car :shock:
Check this out, a genuine example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-Vintage-POTF-Nikto-92-Back-AFA-80Y-/400122361676

Other ways to tell its fake are the bubble are wrong size and shape, the name plate "Nikto" is missing the small tm as well as the text at the bottom is the wrong font, the picture alignment is out- the photo is too far up, the black margin is too wide on the right hand side around the photo and lastly ( :lol: ) the seal looks awful.

Someone is going to be pissed.

**** me that is AWFUL!

£102?? :| There are some muppets out there!

Cheers for all the help guys!

That is a definite recard/custom. It needs to be reported.

If enough of us report it they will have to take note, but yes they are F'kin money grabbers!

I concur with many of the comments already made. It's fake and a pretty terrible one at that.

Maybe there should be a worlds worst fake thread?

Good work guys. I have reported it too.
If ebay don't remove it the buyer, once he leaves feedback, needs to be contacted. ONe way or another this seller (and ebay) are not getting any money out of this.

How did you contact them??
When i have contacted them they have never replied. They either remove the listing or not. Di you call them?
I never know how to call or write to them as they make it very difficult to find their contact details.

The number they don't want you to have -
