Seen it all now...

Just been on one of the modern sales groups (as I need a couple of Tri logo POTF2 red cards) and there were POTF 2 Tri-logo figures... £105 for 6! Seriously? The same guy has quite a few other overpriced figures as well... Seems it's not only vintage where the prices are crazy on FB :(

One guy earlier listed a vintage Yak for £60 !! Yes,, £60... of course it was snapped up straight away (although a more amicable deal was apparently later done), but many other people telling him that it's way too cheap.. to me... if the guy wanted to shift it at that price that's his perogative, where as people that over price stuff nothing can be said as the 'overlords that be admin' dont like price bashing...

The only reason anyone cries 'too cheap' is cos they are jealous they missed it themselves, no other reason.

Haha that's true, they'd rather see the buyer get stung and lose out on the deal just to make the fact of them missing out on it not matter as much.

And they also say "great deal!" on over-priced stuff because they over-paid themselves.

I thought that I had seen everything! :shock:
Then again it is posted on the "high rollers collectors group"!
Pure madness!

The other side of Mos Eisley
Just seen some guys selling an empty brown shipping box on Facebook. I don't get it, but each to their own. It was on £20 and some nutcase just went straight to £50?! I don't understand the mentality. And 50 quid (or no doubt more) for an empty brown box!! :eek: :roll:

A perfect example of why some of us don't buy into grading and all the variables that come with it.

I don't want to start the whole debate again, but when a figure like this was graded quite a while ago (how old are those labels?) using an inconsistent, subjective scale which isn't published, it's inevitable this is going to happen. It's certainly not Vectis' fault. You'd at least ask for pictures.

Why would the bubble not be an 80? Because it has a small indent to one side, that's all I can see what's wrong with it

I too saw this on FB yesterday.
I don't see a lot wrong with the bubble, and as already mentioned, it's not Vectis fault!
If he doesn't want it , I'll happily take it off his hands! :wink:

Yeap, as someone who has owned hundreds of graded MOC's that bubble looks a solid enough 80 to me. From what I can see in those pictures.
OBVIOUSLY Vectis should have re-graded it themselves, cos they are perfectly qualified to do that, and told him that on his special scale it was probably only a 70. :roll:
Really poor on Vectis' part, he must be due a full refund and to get to keep the item! :roll:
