This has also been posted in the Ebay section :shock:

Hey guys, ive just been browsing ebay and have seen what i can only describe as the first of my Grail pieces


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170915552598&fromMakeTrack=true

Only thing is they dont ship to the UK and they dont accept messages to ask if they would. would any of you guys from across the pond be able to get in touch with the seller and ask if they would ship over here ???

Log into ebay.com not ebayuk.com & you should be able to send a message. IMO that's twice what it's worth.

Cheers buddy, will try and make an offer

 

[timbo72]

Very strange, wont accept any messages even from ebay.com and if you try and make an offer it just comes up with 'cannot ship to the uk'

Mate i'm sure it won't be long before someone is able to help you out. It won't sell before Todd finishes his move i'm certain.

Please be careful Tim, i am by far not an expert but i have seen double packs (ok a bit dented (they all are)) sell for £75 on forums and Ebay within the last year. I'd say that one is massively overpriced.
Maybe this one is really rare????? I know twin packs don't come up that often but if we all know you are after one, i'm sure another one with a more realistic price will crop up soon.

I can't see any accessories. Were they not included in two packs?

That is strange :?

A few years ago a Canadian seller stated in an auction they only posted to Canada and the US, but I still managed to message them after logging into Canada's version of Ebay and they then let me bid on the item.

Ebay must have changed things since then

Well I have just seen an interesting item on Ebay, seller only ships to USA. I logged into ebay.com USA to see if I could send a message to them asking if they would ship to UK. I managed to send the message So as far as I can see you should be able to communicate with the seller.

Seller has replied already to me and states will ship to UK - even though listing states USA only

 

[timbo72]

Ok so i did manage to get in touch with them, they will ship top the UK but with a 'USA money order'

Is this just worth 75 pounds or is it a rare pack ???

any experts out there ???

 

[aussiejames]

I'm NOT an expert but it's a known combination: http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1024368/
Looking at the sellers other items the BIN (or best offer) seems to be up to double 'real' price.

The last couple of 2 packs on RS were at 85 pounds & sold for 125 pounds on ebay

I know the B Wing pilot is your focus, but for most people these are 2 of the least liked figures from the line so IMO it's not worth anywhere near that. I've seen ones with Farmboy Luke sell for around £200.

Thanks guys, will leave this one alone i think
