:lol: I was keeping an eye on that, couldn't believe it when it was at £62, got a shock this morning when it went over £100 then wow finishing at £282 :eek:

How much do the Poons usually go for when sold honestly?

Jesus wept - this sums up all that is wrong with Ebay - this is a peice of **** fake - it did not come from a reputable dealer. Some poor sod has paid about £270 over the odds :evil:

I am sure A****W is a very happy punter at the moment, lets hope he doesn't examine it too closely when he gets it.

Looking forward to seeing the feedback.

Iain, these aren't worth more than a tenner then?

Sounds about right but I would have thought they might be worth a bit more to the right person. I have been considering getting one of the 'Prototype' Walrus Man customs, there is a loose one on the bay for £35 I think and 'Carded' one for £25. I would consider the £25 to save myself the effort of making my own one, wouldn't the Poon fetts be in a similar categegory?

Not really - think I sold two that I'd picked up to Frank for £15.00

It makes me so angry to think that there are people out there trying to pass off this bullshit as real. That said, why anyone would spend £282.00 of their hard earned without doing some research first I will never know

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Your pricing was probably spot on, I would stretch to a tenner, maybe 20+ if Fett was my focus, but passing it on for real, thats just not cricket :wink:

I came across this today, I got to admit that the 21 back looks like the real thing and pretty sure some of these could sell as real http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-star-wars-21-back-and-droids-boba-fett-moc-wow-take-a-look-/251192640671?pt=UK_ToysGames_ActionFigures_ActionFigures_JN&hash=item3a7c3f849f&_uhb=1

The problem is that Mr. Poon works with the manufacturing base in China. He has a packaging manufacturer who prints these and they are dead on in respect to gloss, thickness and feel to original cardbacks. The bubbles are dead on as well. The only plus is that he has yet to fake the heat sealed effect to the bubbles (as far as I know).
