Sold my suspect TT Fett on eBay.

[stormcab]

Just thought some of you may be interested in this.

I had a 45c Palitoy Boba Fett on eBay for sale. I didn't want to offer it on here in case it pissed anyone off.

I watched one sell for £420.50 with no mention at all of possible TT link

Interestingly a 90 grade went for £650, and they did mention something about it

Mine went for just £193, and fully described the situation to the best of my knowledge

I paid £110 for it from a toy fair at some point in the mid nineties, so I'm just happy that I didn't lose anything.

If nothing else you can be safe in the knowledge that your description was extremely well written and above all, honest!

Thanks. I could have easily kept quiet about it all and probably made more, but I want to gain the trust of the Star Wars community, and help contribute where I can to help us all have a good experience.

Good job!!

A good, honest description and your (bonus) profit is made with a clean conscience. Good on ya. Wish there were more sellers like you about.

The only thing to improve listings of Toy Toni figures like this, I would suggest is not make bidder's ID's private. I know it's not our problem when something like this leaves our collection, but who's to say the next buyer isn't going to flip it an take some less knowledgeable collector for a few quid more. Alternatively, add the AFA number in the listing, this way it's at least searchable via Google for as long as the listings last.

Has anyone started a database of known/suspected AFA'd TT figures yet?

All in all I think that was great.

You made a good profit on a piece very honestly listed. 8)

Well- I will defiantly buy and sell to you without question.

Crap, keep forgetting to de-select that option. I want people to see items sold so they can see the sort of item and prices I get.

Problem is someone will now go and relist it with no description and bag £500 lol

I was watching that auction and I think you did pretty well.

Can't say fairer than that; honest and to the point. Glad you got the right money for it too.
