Emperor's Royal Guard . MOC!!

[retropaw]

Here's my first attempt at selling a vintage card on ebay. I hope it doesn't backfire and go for a silly price.

Thanks!

Thats a really nice moc and one of thr more sought after rotj ones.
Some advice tho- pu the words 'Return of the Jedi' and 'moc' in the title. Will get you more viewers and help you achieve a higher selling price. Also, I'm looking on my phone so can't tell but are there additional pictures or just the one main one? If you wasnt to get the optimum value you'te gonns need a couple of extra pics. One of the back and a close up of the bubble. You can just add pics tge discription space using photobucket.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, I've added pics now, but brilliant timing as usual - my iphone is in pieces awaiting a replacement screen, so the new pics had to be taken with an old sony ericsson. Also, because someone has already bid on the item I cant change or add to the title or main description. I've added a footnote about the ROTJ MOC though. Thanks for the advice!

Cheers mate, anything above £50 would be good. Certainly not £0.99!! Scary! Anyone know how long it usually takes the auction to move away from the 0 end of the scale?!

You have a long time yet mate, the bidding will start steady usually from people who can't afford it and the just like a small flutter, as the days get closer it will move up, then bids usually stop coming in until the last few hours, and sometimes when your item is at say 20 quid with 10 minutes to go it can soon jump upto 50 quid mate, so don't worry it's a nice Moc, and RG's always sell well.

What TwistedMetal said is very true, serious bidders usually stake their claim near the very end of any auction and I literally mean in the last few seconds.

wow that's cool. Sounds bloomin intense. Thanks for the help guys. I'll see how this one goes then, and put the rest on there if all goes well with this one. Anyone know if there's a difference in value for different card backs. i.e number of figs shown on back? Not specifically this one, but I've seen some listings that use that as a plus point or rarity.
