Euro eBay Bargain Hunting Result!

[Dublinjeff]

Hi Guys,

Bit of a nice find today. Whilst looking at one of the different eBay sites I came across a Buy it now/Best offer ad...

Snapped up this Brown eyed, 2 Line, Hong Kong COO Luke Farmboy for £10..... 8) Sending registered post for £7!

Brown eyes clearly visible here and saber looks 100%

To put it into context I only ever came across one of these while putting the LFB reference guide together. It is quite a difficult figure to find and I believe it is definitely one of the "Early Release" Luke FB figures.

Discussed here:

Just wondering if anyone on here browses the European eBay sites in search of bargains. I have done so in the past, but as i am compiling the reference guides I have been on the various sites more frequently. I will now be watching these sites a lot more often!

Great find 8)

Never tried it myself, think I'll be giving it a go now along with all the others that read this thread :lol:

:lol: was thinking that....but I reckoned it was hard to keep a lid on eBay....

That's the Luke that's in my 65 back Toytoni. It looks like an early release. Saber is also flat.

Cool, as I was saying, in the small research I did it would appear that the brown eyes are most likely earlier release Luke figures
Only found the one when I was focusing on the loose figures.
Can't wait to get it in hand to check out the saber, hopefully it might be a lettered one!

Update to reference guide soon

Its a shame they changed the ebay site layout. before you could link into other ebay sites worldwide direct from ebay.ie. they had a drop down menu with all the flags.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but with the iPad I'm able to keep 9 tabs open makes searching for bargains that little bit easier..

Great item you have found jeff, I never use ebay.com I always use the others. I do not buy outside eu anymore because of the tax problems and I would not pay all this taxes :evil:

Nice find Jeff. Pleased for you - especially if the sabre is good as well - looks ok

I never even generally look at non eu listings due to customs. think I might start looking on some euro sites now though

There are some good sites that search the whole of eBay if that's what you want, http://www.geo-ship.com is quite a good one
