[QUOTE="DarthStanley, post: 513198, member: 1780"] I send figures into UKG for grading occasionally & it baffles me & other UKG collectors sometimes at the grades they receive.They've been virtually card fresh with uncracked/hardly any movement in the limbs,no paint issues,discolouration etc & the majority come back as 85's.Don't get me wrong I've had a few 90's but nowhere near the amount the 3 eBay accounts (Robbobjimrollup,a.l.vintagetoys & lisipisi80) receive! NOBODY receives that many 90 gold & the odd 95 (Yoda that had visible paint scratches on one hand & possible rubs on the other) grades without something fishy going on.I'm assuming the 3 eBay accounts are paying the extra £20 fast track service (for each figure) due to the short gaps from when they go to having no items for sale to new stock so maybe they ARE receiving more favourable grades for the extra £20 they shell out to UKG? As for the shill bidding,well they've been caught bang to rights there & Dans excuse was that eBay allow him to shill bid his own items to replace "fake" bids is just laughable! :lol: [/QUOTE]
