Great for the seller.

So earlier this week you could have had this little fella for Â£80 on a buy it now, but the BIN got busted and the final price hits Â£127 8) . Great for the seller, but Â£47 extra for the buyer

. Sure did look like a nice piece though.

looks fake to me! Repro sticker on a yellowed droid..

Paul-itoy · Sep 17, 2009

Even worse!!!!

I see what you mean. Card does look too good to be true as well.

Rest of his stuff looked good and legit, so if it is a fake I think he wouldn't be aware of it.

that looks like a fake to me..........its to bright and glossy.... someone has just been scanked :evil:

jaymassive619 · Sep 17, 2009

Card looks to glossy, figure is badly yellowed but the sticker is bright white????

I agree the rest of the sellers stuff looks genuine he may not have known? 127 GBP is way to much for a nice original let alone a fake :?

Bubble is wrong and applied crooked to cardback....crudlly made rough punch hole, top may also be squared off (Picture cuts it off) and yes a repro sticker. Be glad you did not buy this one............I could have made youi a better one for much less money

this looks to one of those crude cast painted sabers (Color to dark and fragile looking tip.).......I could be wrong........but I would not buy it as for real.

The 3 MOCs still up for sale also have different backgrounds - usually a good indicator that the pictures may not be of the actual items.

The blah blah blah about items being treasured and loved jackanory BS normally raises a caution flag for me as well.

Total bollocks tell me about the item - I'm not buying on sentiment but condition and price

jangofettish · Sep 17, 2009

its not going to be good visit that buyer recieved by the royal mail, poor twat, however ignorance is bliss....

one born ever minute..... :lol: :lol:

Guys. Just goes to show the naiveity that some of us have - me included this time.
Also shows how valuable these forums are.

Cheers 8)

I've been looking a graded R5D4 MOC for ages, but I'm not paying Â£127 for one. Let alone paying that for one that looks blatantly fake!
Someone's gonna be pissed!

I know he is scamming...but I think If your going to get into vintage and pay that sort of price....you really should do your research on the stuff.

Great for the seller.
