What's up with some vintage SW figure sellers out there?? :?: I cannot believe how many complete & utter idiots iv'e dealt with so far in my several months of getting back into collecting.
One seller a month ago sent me around 40 loose figures, described as in "excellent condition with very good paint" and when I received them all they were some of the most sorry looking beaters iv'e seen so far, tons of paint loss, very bad loose & floppy limbs, and no joke... at least one arm joint on every single figure that had cloth string wrapped around the joints ( the exact same coloured string on all of them ), and I was told I was lying when I complained about it.
Now currently iv'e been dealing with another seller now for 2 weeks to get a large purchase posted out, I listened to lazy excuse after excuse as to why they weren't posted and repeated promises, and 2 or 3 days at a time to respond to the simplest question, the item of which only finally got posted because I gave a time limit / ultimatum before opening a dispute. A very disrespectful service for handing over a few hundred £ to somebody. ( Still waiting for this package to arrive )
Then today I receive a C-3PO in great condition for a good price, was specifically told after I asked that this IS the fixed limbs version with tight limbs so I immediately bought it ( was excited to receive it ), I open the package this morning to find a removable limbs C-3PO, what the hell!??
And then not to mention the ones who have sent a carded figure in a plastic bag thinking the single layer of bubble wrap will stop it from getting crushed ( then bubble gets crushed ), after being told it will be sent in a box to protect it. :?
I know not to usually let **** like this ever get to me, but it completely baffles me why some people are so god damn brain dead they barely have 2 brain cells to bloody rub together. If they actually put their effort into doing something right those 2 brain cells would ****ing explode. From some pictures it's a bit difficult to tell conditions or exactly what you're looking at, so then you ask questions about it, but when you are then told the complete opposite of what you actually receive afterwards it makes me wanna go rage mode :evil:
Some people are a complete waste of time & effort, anyone else have similar experiences?
