Is there actually anything rare or special about this paint colour variant?, I was under the assumption it was just like any other regular Fett as there are a few shades of green out there. But the bids seem to say otherwise?...

The seller is solance4ever who sells a lot of rare variants from the Spanish line in particular and this may account for the higher price. He sometimes package his figures with custom made box designs which can add to the price prepared to be paid.

Yeah iv'e seen his listings lately, so basically there's nothing special about this paint variant then?

Some certain sellers just get crazy bids no matter what they sell. :lol:

Although the Coo is right and the limbs and chest are light coloured, the belt and helmet colour look the wrong colour for POCH, and besides that would be way way higher in price and he'd list it as such.

Don't really know enough about Fetts myself.

I've read that even though there are characteristics to look for on a poch fett that unless its on a poch card then it cant be 100%.

I reckon that probably goes for quite a few POCH figures. They're a right bugger to spot apart from the obvious ones like Chocolate pants Han Hoth, Black neck Lando and Toxic Limbs Bossk. I tried identifying the pale hand Hong Kong Coos but gave up, no chance for someone like me.

I understand that the figures he sells are expensive, but they are in excellent condition.
I have bought from him in the past and was very please with the item.

Ah, I thought live auctions were okay as everyone seems to post them?, I thought it was just ended auctions we couldn't post for 7 days after ending?

Hi James,
sorry you thought we had inferred Sergio was dodgy. I don't believe this was the case and we were merely trying to determine why this figure was more expensive. Incidentally I follow this seller on eBay and would definitely buy off of him as his figures are lovely (if only I could afford it). I recently learned who the seller was on Jabba's Court when I posted a link on a post by Mark Baker asking for help sourcing more PBB figures as his collection had hit a wall. He knows Sergio Sierra and considers him a good friend too.

Just to clarify the rules on SWFUK are as follows:
Ebay Listings
Post links to your own or other people's Ebay auctions. It is fine to discuss live auctions, but DO NOT post links to closed auctions for at least 7 days after the listing ends. See sales forum rules for details.
While discussion of open/live auctions is permitted on this forum, DO NOT post links to recently ended auctions that have not yet been discussed. Wait at least 7 days after the listing has ended. This is to help prevent what is known as "back dooring" where an unscrupulous buyer will contact the seller and offer a higher price. 7 days should be enough time for the buyer to pay, and seller to post.

As I say no offence to Sergio was inferred or intended.

I forgot how the outing rule was worded here. I remember clearly the thread that started the rule discussion not the result. Here was the vote: http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25940&hilit=reason

Just had a look, from what i'm seeing on the rules thread it still seems like it was decided that live auctions are okay, sorry can't get the link to work for some reason..

Hi James, thanks for the link. Having only joined in 2017 it was very interesting to read the discussions resulting in the rules currently in place for the eBay listings section. Very passionate on both sides of the argument.

I would need more time to digest all of what has been said there but currently I believe that while not full proof the present ruling in its current form is the most logical. While I have not been knowingly backdoored I agree that it would be at best annoying and at worst devestating and so a 7 day armistice is good. On the other hand, IMO banning commenting on current eBay listings is not beneficial, as long as those posting, exercise common sense. But this has all been debated and not worth revisiting (here at least).

Referring to this specific case on the other hand, the case of the "Light green chest Boba Fett" I don't believe any rules have been broken, and IMO subzero has only posted a link to a live auction to gain more knowledge, because like me, he does not have the wealth of knowledge other collectors do. He does however have an interest in Boba Fetts, having seen plenty in his collection, and if someone could confirm that it was a rare variant, he would have the opportunity of bidding on it, if so desired. Solance4ever's auctions are not the type to go under the radar, nor the type to be mis-listed so I can't see that anybody would really object to its posting. And as previously stated I don't believe we ever insinuated he was dodgy. However, I would be interested if you feel otherwise.

However, the good thing about this discussion, for me anyway, is that you have drawn my attention to the rules in place on eBay listings, why they are there and both sides of the argument. I have posted in this section previously without real understanding of said rules and will think carefully in the future. I'll give you an example:

http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=34771

I posted tongue-in-cheek about a short shot blaster, never having heard of one and in a similar listing posted at the same time by snaketibe you pointed out that they did exist. In future I will exercise more caution over my posting, but I still believe in the right to post that if handled considerately, as I would never have found out about it.

Cheers
Jay
