[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 387436, member: 4095"] Just to comment on exhibit A , to reflect on the circle of morons / and inexperienced idiots The post was mine , I have seen a couple of nice Star Wars items for sale and sadly have to sell my complete loose run to fund them , which a majority of figures were bought from Iain . As I don't sell a lot of loose figures , was not 100% sure about the value . i checked though my sales that I bought from Iain and reflected the price that I paid . A couple of the figures , I mislaid the weapons , so reflected this in the price . I sold a Vader to a member on here for £18 including postage , which I paid more for . The leia was bought about 8 months ago for £24 , at that time it was around the going rate , prices now for leia , are between £35 to £55 , as mine had no weapon , I thought it was a good price . Leia had stiff limbs , great cloak , no paint wear and nice and white , not a beater as discussed , and if Edd , did sell a similar one , then buddy , it's your loss and you certainly are not close to the prices ! The Luke , I couldn't find a price , maybe Iain can remember , I checked old sales and prices were between £20 an £50 , he has no paint wear , nice stiff limbs , however missing the tip of sabre , but certainly not a beater , these comments are disrespectful to me as a seller and also reflected at Iain . As soon as I felt that's probably too high I reduced price to £15 , which probably isn't far off what I paid . Sorry to hear it was you Steve who had the figures up for sale and you got caught up in all of this. I must admit that when I looked at the picture of Leia and Luke the price seemed about right to me for their condition. I'm sure there are better examples out there with more expensive figures up for sale which are in much worse condition, maybe a picture of some of these would have been more appropriate. I can certainly see why Ed feels the need to defend the forum from time to time and for me it's always been my first stop for information and generally some good banter. I'm not part of Facebook but haven't chosen to be not part of it for any other reason than just not having the spare time to get involved, what with being part of a couple of Star Wars forums and just getting on with life in general. I don't really have much of an opinion about it but can see why some people love it and others don't. The end of the day it's up to the individual to decide where they want to spend their time and as long as no one's getting hurt then I see no real problem. Hope this hasn't put you off being on here, this type of thing happens to all of us every now and then and it's really not worth taking to heart. Ian [/QUOTE]
