was watching this but price is shooting up what sort of price is r2 worth on his own

Be careful with this chap - he is known around these parts as a pretty awful buyer - he doesn't have a reputation as a bad seller but caution is advised

In terms of the figure - it does look nice but when you can pick up an incomplete droid factory for around the same sort of price then it doesn't make sense to spend more than that on this figure

This is normally the missing piece from loose Droid Factory sets so I'm not all that surprised by the price looking at the condition. Like with everything else vintage it's all going up in value at the moment and R2 is always popular, just look at how much the pop up saber one goes for now.

No idea as to real value though, one I bought a couple of years ago from the States was about $25 if that helps in any way (doubtful :lol: )

You are best keeping on fleabay.com since the yanks have more and they go cheaper.

Yes that looks like Ian Hamilton. Certainly one to avoid at all costs :twisted: :evil: :roll:

cheers guys thanks for the info

I always look for loose droid factory's with the R2 in it. They exist and in the end are much cheaper than buy just this figure. As stated we have more of them in the states.

Looks like he has some neutral feedback

About a BLUE SNAGGLETOOTH The figure was made up of parts and not original! :shock:
PRINCESS LEIA RECARD The figure is a repo poorly made :shock:

I did not know there was Princess leia repro ? :?

Is it possible that he makes figures of parts from different figures ?

Or you can just get hold of on of the middle legs and make your own 3 legged R2, as i did, using a regular R2 which is way cooler. 8)

I have never thought about that :lol:

That's insane money for that - couple of amateurs got auction fever there.

Ian Hamilton? Why does that name ring a bell?

Prices are just all over the place ATM, a 1st issue Palitoy ESB (Dagobah scene) just sold for £255 (with insert and poster), the same vehicle in the same condition (minus poster) sold for £135 not 7 days earlier. Are we now to believe the poster is worth £120?

It absolutely pays to sign in here, do some groundwork and understand you're playing field BEFORE taking the plunge into this hobby, especially at the moment. Save your self some serious money.

Thanks, wish I knew about all that. I have bought some items from him that I got with the mail today.

I think it looks strange, I will take pictures of it when I get home from work later today.

Lucky me, I got an angry email from ian today. As you know I did not know he was a bad seller when I bought a few items from him. I left him positiv feedback, because the items was fine but I left a note that one of the items could have been packed better.

One of the items I bought from him was a Max rebo band microphone, who the **** would mail such an item in a envelope ? They can easily break and I have seen a few of them break before. I also bought some other items from him and if he have mailed them in a box it would only have costed him £1 more.

In the Feedback I wrote Great seller, but packing could be better and it was positive.

I got an angry mail back from him, here is a copy

So, there was nothing wrong with the items but you just thought you would leave negative comments because of something that may have happened? Any normal human being would just have noted it in a message or even requested beforehand that the items be sent in a box. Do not bother bidding on any of my items again.

I wrote back to him

I would like to ask for an apology from you regarding your last message or I will report you to eBay.

I only tried to be nice and other people should also be allowed to see the packing could be better, that was not negative only a comment that things could be better. You got a positive feedback with a comment that the packing could be better, there is nothing bad in that.

And it is not the buyers job to tell how a seller should pack his items a seller should always pack an item great.

Can't wait to hear from him :lol:

I always leave negative feedback now since constructive criticism doesn't work on ebay.
