Yes, everything there is vintage. :) The two 12" are 1978 figures, missing all accessories except Vader's cape. The Yoda is a 1980 Kenner hand puppet. Paint looks good from what is visible. Does it still have the rooted hair? You've also got a Tauntaun missing reins, and what looks like an...

Well, so much for a 48 hour response to my appeal. :roll: After several days, they finally get back to me, saying that without tracking, I have no grounds for an appeal, and just dismissed it outright. Worst part? A friend on another board sent me pics of the guy selling the SAME Luke in...

Only if he wanted a full refund would he have to return it. The scam is to say it has condition issues, then demand a partial refund. Unless you can make a strong case, ebay will side with the buyer and force you to refund part of their payment AND they keep it. I've seen it happen with...

If you look at the 7 negatives he left, only 2 were for undelivered items. The others were all claims of "not as described". No way to avoid a scammer who wants to use that excuse. :( Ian

In my appeal I told them exactly that, as well as pointing out how much in fees I have given them the last couple of years and how that would be gone moving forward. ;) I'm sure I'm still small potatoes to them though. I'm going to actually give them a phone call later today. They seem more...

Hey, now THAT is an interesting idea, lol. :) Ian

Well, got scammed by a guy today on ebay. He bought a Luke Farmboy off me on ebay April 26. My listing clearly says if an item sells over $40, I will upgrade to tracked shipping, but below that, I will save the buyer money by offering cheap untracked. He paid $34.99. Asks me the day after I...

I agree. The bottom looks way too rough, the shape isn't quite right, and inside the helmet you should see an ejector pin mark (a very small circle from where a pin pushes the part off the die). No idea what that red cape is from. Not all weapons float. I hate the float test personally, as...

Brutal. Are we reaching a point in history where Star Wars is so valuable and easily flipped that collections are held in the same view as jewelry in the eyes of thieves? I am having enough of a hard time letting go of items I'm selling. I can't imagine how it would feel to have a collection...

Almost time to break out my car flag and show a little of my home country's pride again, as I do every other year. :) A little surprised Rooney is still in the lineup. Nice he finally got a goal last World Cup, but I think he can now be replaced on the national team. Looks like we have one of...

Goo gone was made specifically for jobs like this. :) It works very well. Ian

Wow, I wish I could uncover boxes of vintage I forgot I had! :shock: I agree the two green sabers are repros. The rest, can't tell. Best to put every one in a pic like that unidentified ball thing. Up close, it'll be easier to help you. Check that Luke Stormie helmet too - those were also...

Cheers. I just looked myself, and edited my post, as I found two still sealed, but cheap enough to make it worthwhile. Links are above. :) Ian

No, that's the standard POTJ version. He's after the exclusive that came with the podracer. That one is wearing non-removable goggles. I have it, but it's sealed in the box, and he only wants the figure. I've found 2 that are still sealed, but dirt cheap in the US. This one you'll have to...

Sweet! I was C-3PO somewhere between 1978 and 1980. Kept the mask for years, but eventually it got broken and tossed. :( I wish I had pics like you do. Thanks for sharing, Ian

My buddy. :) To be fair, I very rarely post pics of my collection, and to date, have only ever limelighted my entire room once, many years ago. I just like to keep what I own private for the most part. As for the guy himself, he refuses to identify himself. He's not a sock account, as once I...

You're reaching Grant. Show me where, aside from maybe poor choice of words in the title, where I took a direct shot at Zach? Hell, even Zach understood what I was saying, and last I checked, he's still on my friend list too (with 46 common friends, if you want to play the "who has more...

Typical. Seems like you forgot the most important half of the quote - or you ignored it, as you continue to try and make this issue with me public rather than be a MAN and reply to PM's when I try to solve it as such. But....here, I'll do it for you, since it applies to this last post too. Ian

No, it wasn't, and you can stop the blatant trolling. We all know how you feel about me, so give it up and stop being childish. I've crusaded on behalf of collectors for years, and you know it. Ian

I don't have a problem with you Zach. I can see how you took the "flipper" thing personally, but that, along with the post itself, was more lamenting all the guys looking for affordable Palitoys on this board, who missed out here. I pointed out it was fair play to you, and if they ARE for your...
