I'm going to say taking the piss but I've no idea about the value of a coo-less version. I don't know what's going on with the text on the description either, it's all over the place.

Taking the pi$$

 

[palitoyjunky]

Yeh I was pretty sure but didn't expect someone to take the piss that much so thought I may have missed something :lol:

His real name is P. I. Staker!

Pricey...surprised at how specific he is that he won't post to Dublin, Ireland considering his eBay name :?

I am not really called 'P. I. Staker', and don't consider myself a piss-taker. Apologies if I have offended you with my listings on eBay. (You could have just asked me directly if you had a query about an item)

I'll be honest - that listing was one of a number I originally put at that price as a place holder while I tried to work out their value. As with the other user above, I couldn't figure it out. I should have taken it down (as I did with a Bib listing I also couldn't figure out), but I think it kinda got lost in the mass of listings I had at the time and got re-listed.

Regarding my prices - I have actually sold a hell of a lot of figures...far more than I thought I would. I spent a lot of time researching the prices paid by SOLD listings (not just current listings) and subtract from there. Loads have gone at full price, but also BIN - I'll probably review the prices soon. They are also free p&p, taking eBay fees in account, their is no way I can compete with the 'big' sellers.

I also agree the Star Wars posts are a bit of a mess. It's from an old template. I have a new batch of figures due for listing soon - I'll look at tidying it up then For some reason, the format does not work well on tablets - that could be why it looks messed up for Palifan.

Jeff, I have sent you a message - but further to the reason why I don't post overseas - I got burned A LOT a few years ago. Was being held over a barrel with giving partial refunds etc. from a number of overseas buyers, it was very frustrating. It became easier to just exclude overseas buyers this time - even if it meant a loss of potential sales. If a buyer with a good rep contacted me (like you did), I am more than happy to work with this.

I have genuine reasons to sell these off (would rather not), and there is every chance I have bought (and sold) from many of you before - so please be nice to me!!!!

Good of you to post a reply in this thread, not something that happens all that often.

Your listing does seem very high but thank you for giving some info on why this is and also for clearing up why the text has come out so strangely. The end of the day it's totally up to you how much you want to ask for and I think the thread was put up as a genuine question about if this was a rare variant due to the price.

I think ebay drives everybody a bit crazy at times but all the best with your sales.

Have been on here in the past? I recongize your username. I think I purchased some loose figures from you!

 

[Dublinjeff]

Just to say, I have been in touch with this seller a couple of times in the last few days, the communication has been excellent and he was willing to sort out a fair deal on figures......seems a very decent fella in fairness.

Thank you for the kind words Jeff, it's been a pleasure dealing with you! PM'd you, hopefully you should have my details now.

I was registered on this forum previously, but I couldn't access my account for some reason (I tried re-sending my details, but it wasn't working for some reason!!). Pretty sure we have done business, hope everything was okay

Thank you for the reply Ian. I have tidied up the listings a bit, so figures crossed they look better now.

I have lurked on this forum for years, was a bit odd reading some name calling about me on a post!!
