Wow And Doh on both..
One is a newbie ebayer so it might be fair to assume his collecting knowledge *could* be limited and he just got caught up in the thrill of bidding on something he thinks is rare.
That R2D2 and C3P0 is just ridiculous lol
I remember about five years ago when I was very actively buying on ebay there was a time when you could see crazy prices on items that were worth 1/5th or less of the actual ending price.
Happens every few months/years all of a sudden you get new collectors popping up and overpaying for common items in the hopes its all rare and worth money.
In fact I once kept an eye on one guys buying activity on ebay over a few months and he literally spent thousands upon thousands on crap: incomplete playsets, beat up figure lots, c6 MOCS...and he was overpaying each and every single time, ....why would you buy an incomplete At-At Walker for £70 with £20 postage ??
Every time I checked all listings about to end you would see the same user name just jumping on everything and I mean everything.
I wonder what happened to that guy...
