Wow is he still going? He was a selling on ebay when I first got on in 2003/4 - That name sure is a blast from the past! I bet I have a few paypal records with his name on :lol:

Maybe the condition of his figures and his good reputation is the deciding factor in people spending that much money on his figures? I wouldn't pay that but then again not everyone is on a forum where they have more access to Vintage items so they just stick with a dealer that gets their items out in good time + has minty stuff for sale.

fair piont joe but still there are plenty of other vintage dealers on ebay with a good reputation people must be crazy paying these prices

 

[Joe]

No arguing that point, people certainly are crazy

There's also a lot to be said about presentation of the listing, so many times you see sellers claiming their figures are mint but they use shitty out of focus photos. I'd have to say his presentation is actually quite good and clever use of photos with a money back satisfaction guarantee is a good sales pitch.

Reading his listing is like watching one of those late night as seen on TV commercials, but it obviously works.

Tahts just silly money, but if its working for him, maybe we should all be on the same wagon, as I only seem to get 3 to £5 on my mint loose if I ever sell any, I am obviously doing something wrong if he can sell a loose vader for £60 :shock:

But its got letters on the hilt!!!! :lol:

It's a Dollar sign on the hilt I think joe
