it's the one thing that makes me really sad about this scene. had a quick search on the bay & see 2 Sucklord occupy cybertron figures there at over $400 each. as there were only 18 i think it's sad. same with the recent mini resin madls. i understand its part of the scene and sometimes the only way to get older pieces, it gets me worst when something was released yesterday & is up today. rant over :)

I hear you. Pretty sick seeing someone start the bidding at $149, Buy now at $199 for that Red Mini-MADL Resin and the seller hasn't even taken delivery yet. There are two others on eBay now, but at least the seller started the bidding at $1 and gave the reason as selling his collection. Not cool either but at least there is the remote chance you may even get it under what he paid.

keegan a You heard Jeremy canceled his order right? :) about 12 years ago

Statusquo-trampt-493f

statusquo Some artists are great at watching Ebay and Forums to spot flippers. Glad the order was cancelled. about 12 years ago

keegan a Erick Scarecrow is another good one who cares about stopping flippers. about 12 years ago

statusquo 64colors Husband & Wife team are really good about monitoring Ebay too. I'm sure there are lots of artists that monitor these sites, and why not? I mean their art is their business, it has their name on it, they have a vested interested to protect that. about 12 years ago

HoodedGrub m Yeah. I know the order was cancelled ;) about 12 years ago

Crazylikeafox11-trampt-1660f

crazylikeafox11 m I think the other guy "selling his collection" is BS. He doesn't have anything else listed. He's had a couple days to put up other items but it's not happened yet. Plus, if he was selling his collection, you'd think he'd have figured that out sooner and not even picked up the MadL's. about 12 years ago

Easily_Amused Thats Funny! How did he know who the flipper was? almost 13 years ago

Easily_Amused LOL! Thats funny. almost 13 years ago

Hoodedgrub-trampt-271f

HoodedGrub m I see the seller of the Clear and Black Mini-MADL's on eBay is now indeed selling his entire MADL Collection off, so it wasn't BS after all. Got some customs MADL's in there as well. almost 12 years ago

Easily_Amused I just saw someone trying to Sale the American Depress on ebay for $749.99 even though it hasn't even been released yet... almost 12 years ago

crazylikeafox11 m @HoodedGrub - Yeah, I saw that too. Glad to see he was being true to his word. almost 12 years ago

I remember back in the day, probably still around, but there was one guy on eBay who had literally 100 rare Dunnys from a variety of series and 8"ers. They were all with a Buy it Now, and generally about $150 above what they were going for in auctions. When I emailed him to ask if wanted to sell it at a more reasonable price he said something like "I just wait around because generally I'm the only one at any given time selling an item, someone will see my price and assume that's what they go for and buy it". Super shitty but I assume it worked for him.

crazylikeafox11 m That's like this one "artist" that from what I noticed, got his start on ebay selling "rare" dunnys that were simply items he painted a different color. I know it's up to the buyer to do their research but listing something as a "rare chase" and "signed by artist" but stating nowhere that it's a custom & not a production piece is misleading and a skuzzy thing for an "artist" to do. about 12 years ago

Crazylikeafox11-trampt-1660f

crazylikeafox11 m That and his shipping was like $20 a dunny with a strict "will not combine shipping" policy. about 12 years ago

Easily_amused-trampt-2928f

Easily_Amused Man both examples are shitty... almost 13 years ago

it takes patience, dedication, and some internet resources and you won't need to use ebay at all. Just remember, whether its weeks, months, or years, stuff pops up. Just gotta be willing to play the waiting game..

badarsda the problem is mostly with newer members and buyers who just can't keep their money in their pockets. about 12 years ago

The-army-of-the-twelve-donkeys-trampt-181f

Mister-Quiche m indeed with the patience, im a long time collector & actually never buy on the bay, my feeling is if I missed something it wasn't right for me now, case in point is neth creatures, recently got a set of 2 for $20 through a gallery, i think maybe one or two of the online stores could offer a reselling service for real collectors who are changing their collections direction. about 12 years ago

Easily_amused-trampt-2928f

Easily_Amused I bought a couple things off of ebay when I started like my first couple purchases after Fat Tony and Barney Grin. I was pretty happy too, at least until I learned a little more and found the same thing at a store for $50 bucks less (Charlie Grin GID). almost 13 years ago

Hoodedgrub-trampt-271f

HoodedGrub m If you get in on a bid for an item and you make your play late, you can score stuff really really cheap. I got some Buff Monster's for 0.99c each and some Dunny's I was missing for $1-$4 almost 13 years ago

Easily_amused-trampt-2928f

Easily_Amused Mine was a buy now... almost 13 years ago

Hoodedgrub-trampt-271f

HoodedGrub m You usually never get great deals on a Buy Now.... almost 13 years ago

Easily_Amused I know but Charlie Grin GID came out so long ago and I was wanting... almost 13 years ago

Hoodedgrub-trampt-271f

HoodedGrub m I'm guilty of paying Buy Now for items I know I will have little chance of getting again based on age :) If you got the cash, why not I say :) almost 13 years ago

Easily_amused-trampt-2928f

Easily_Amused LOL! I completely agree. Unfortuantely, I then found it available in a store for less. almost 13 years ago

Hoodedgrub-trampt-271f

HoodedGrub m I've bookmarked every store I have ever found under Vinyl Addiction. I search them all before resorting to Evilbay :) almost 13 years ago

Easily_amused-trampt-2928f

Easily_Amused I have that now, but didn't back then... almost 13 years ago

Hoodedgrub-trampt-271f

HoodedGrub m Well, at least the stores that ship here, but sometimes even if it's a little cheaper in the store, the store shipping prices kill the sale and EvilBay sellers that offer the cheapest USPS shipping often work out cheaper still even if the base price is more expensive. almost 13 years ago

Easily_amused-trampt-2928f

Easily_Amused LOL! It was great until I paid the shipping... almost 13 years ago
