The links don't work anymore, what were the items? :?

Now thats VERY strange.

3 lots from the same seller, from memory:

AFA 80 MOC B-Wing pilot Ã'£92
AFA 80 MOC Ree-Yees 80 quid or something I forget.
AFA 80 MOC Klaatu Ã'£67

But seriously? I could pick up those 3 for 20quid each and grade them myself. Are people really that stupid to pay 3-5 times the ungraded cost for a figure, especially ones this common? :shock:

The seller wouldn't happen to be greenrs1972 by any chance would it?

I spotted them yesterday, see this thread:

I think it was Jukesy, and thus the prices the items went for were probably Shilled up.

 

[vintagefan77]

Yeah it was that seller but all his stuff disappeared before it ended. :roll:

 

[weasel]

I think Ebay removed all his items for sale. There were about 8 on yesterday, but they are all gone now. Someone must have pointed out the suspicious bidding and Ebay acted.

 

[vintagefan77]

Surely those silly prices would put bidders off. Or does it have the opposite effect? :lol:

 

[weasel]

God only knows, you would think people seeing the figures at that price would stay clear!
