Bloody hell! You're not kidding. I find it funny when people write off ebay as a source for vintage. Ebay is where I've been getting 75% of my stuff over the last year of two.

On one of the main FB groups I saw a post where they were actively trying to stop people posting their ebay bargains. Seems they're scared of the competition a little maybe. Surely using any and all avenues to source vintage is the best way.

i have to admit, i get most of my SW stuff off ebay too. a lot of overpriced stuff and trying to avoid fakes is a pain, but if you search regularly for newly listed and do best offers, you can get some real bargains. I got a EV-9D9 for 65 quid only the other week and a han slave one carbonite block for 2 quid.

Holy ****, Roundster! You've been rinsing it! This would make certain FB groups have a fit. :lol:

If you fancy some cold, hard profit, I'll give a whole 19 English pounds for that Rebel Commando. :lol:

Oh my...some stunners in that last lot!
I watch eBay US now and again, but am always concerned about the import taxes.
Well done on some great bargains, just imagine the prices on those on FB!

Cheers guys, have sold and traded a few but a lot still in the collection!
Helps to have a friend who can ship them on and hopefully avoid any fees! Thanks Iain!!
Trying to get a good deal is what collecting is all about!

I agree, often some great deals to be had. I had.my first try as a seller recently though and managed to sell a cardback for 99p. eBay fees cost me £1.10. clearly I'm doing something wrong
