Oh dear, look at the price on this one.

friendly warning edit :lol:

Point taken, post amended. These stupid prices get my back up though!

Flip flop flip flop ...

Same one 100% :twisted:

Seller is going to be waiting a long time to sell that at anywhere near £5k. Might make a few hundred in the end.

Haha didn't have to read the unedited version to know what that was all about :lol:

Lol glad you agree. I tried to get that one and left a sensible bid to try and flip flop at a sensible price with a friend in mind. I thought £600 value and to be honest it's in worse condition than I thought, never saw the dinged bubble and the top half is really faded, glad I didn't win. He'll be trying to sell the battered DSD next for £10k!

 

[Fishtalk]

Well, he's only asking £1500 for the Death Star Droid. Never mind that a much nicer one has sat unsold for months at £800.

Bloody idiot , this is just getting bloody stupid


Another insane price

The £800 one looks very nice indeed, but as said, has been there for months, showing it's probably overpriced. The other one can't be worth more than £250 in the state it's in, surely?

 

[sith-smith]

But it comes with a copy of the ticket and leaflet!

That's got to be worth 4500 on its own!

 

[palitoyjunky]

Alert alert :!: The dickhead has dropped his price to £2300 :!: :!: Snap it up snap it up :!: :!: :!:
:lol: :lol: :lol:

It looks horrible - it's really quite faded so would stand out like a sore thumb in a run. Its not rare enough to put up with such an obvious flaw, IMO.

I would struggle to pay more than £400 or so for that, because it would only ever be a placeholder.

 

[Andyclarke]

Not only that he now says it has a crack. He paid over a thousand for the pair. I think the best he'll get for the two is £700.
A lesson for all not to be greedy and know your market before you make bids especially if you're looking to make a profit.

 

[sith-smith]

It's all the hype thanks to some major Vectis auctions.

Where 5k comes from though is mad. Even that Vectis one recently went for £1400. Asking for 5 is beyond greed

The same seller seems to have been the winner of the 4 figures sold last week for 2100 (Ben, leia, Han and chewie).

Ben and leia were obvious reseals and are listed on eBay as such. Han might have been ok and chewie had a decent bubble lift (at best). It will be interesting to see how the Han and chewie are listed!

 

[dianoga77]

I have just seen the han 12bk listing on ebay by this seller am seeing some signs of glue dots inside the bubble on pics 4 6 7 ?? this does not seem right for a soc as described :?

Well looking at ebay the Han's up for sale (and probably Chewie will follow), and it appears that they're sealed.

Looks like the seller's looking for a good return on them but 500 for a reseal really is being greedy in my opinion.

I know they probably won't get this but it's really only going to push prices up higher which is sad to think. Oh well, it's what these traders like to do and hopefully people will see some sense in not getting pulled into these super inflated prices.

[dianoga77]

Best of luck with that price for the condition it's in.
