Mate I got neither. No real helpful friendly service and definately not the tri I thought I was getting, specially with a bloody ding in every corner!
 
If you spent big bucks on it and your not happy then you have to ask for your money back mate. Email him asking about his returns policy :?:
 
nice R2 Ham, but you're right to be miffed

It would make me think twice about buying from Toy Tony - a C9 is mint in anyone's book

This highlights the problem of subjective grading, to me if I was buying a c9+ I would expect it to be case fresh and virtually flawless. A dented bubble, even on a Tri logo isn't a small imperfection. The c scale needs to be accompanied with detailed pictures. Pictures of the item your actually buying. Not pictures of another item, that your not buying!!! We all know what a Tri logo r2 looks like, what is the point of file photos. If you have lots of them for sale at once then you should take time to photograph and catalog them individually. It's not like selling DVDs!!!
 
Completely understand what you mean Ham and i'd be pissed too. I only emailed him the other day asking about one of his items and his reponse was very much to the point and he didn't bother to answer all of the questions I asked! Hope you get it sorted mate if you choose to
 
Agree with that 100%. He is wrong about C9. C9 to me, most collectors, and the AFA for that matter, means very close to flawless with imperfections only visible at close inspection.
Obvious and multiple flaws brings an item down to C8 at best.
 
Guys I really appreciate all your comments honestly. he said he's gonna give me a refund but not for the return post and still sticks by that he sent me a C9+. Whatever! I have to send it back first then a refund will be placed.
 
The days ended well thanks to ChrisJ from TIG for giving his Heatsealed Scouty Baggie a new home, big thanks! :D

No go Pete. He replied...

"Ive sent you a 9+ example- c9+ is not mint and will show some imperfections thats why its graded c9+ and not c9.5 or mint- not all the pics on the site are of the exact figure but i send out the equivalent grade - the example pictured on the website had some imperfections to the bubble and was graded as such. I no longer have that one and youve been sent one of equivalent grade thanks toni"

Thats the last time I buy off him.

**** that ****. Item not as descibed/shown, PP claim and full refund.
Sorry mate, but there's no way in hell that MOC you posted will grade an 80 for the bubble let-alone an 85! Those dings will kill it. Send it back to TT and get your refund.
He's a cheeky bastard!
 
Ooops missed a few posts.
He's probably fair enough not refunding your postage, he doesn't get that money after all the PO do.
But any seller who posts a description of an item and adds "stock" photos is asking for trouble!
If you're selling something describe it (use that C scale if you must, but its FAR FAR too subjective) and then post some pictures of the ACTUAL item!
 
Thanks Weasel, yeah have sent it this morning so should get there tomorrow at some point. Got someone else looking out for a minty tri pop-up R2 for me. The guys a real unfriendly character despite his feedback on his items. Blunt answers if any and doesn;t always answer your questions.
 
Steve-very nice snowspeeder & x wing!

Del-cracking FX-7 MOC!

Poncho-superb cardbacks & mini rigs!

Ham-sorry to hear the hassle you had with ToyToni,at least he's gonna refund you.I've only bought from him once,a Meccano Jawa & MISB Speeder & everything was ok until i sold my Jawa to Arvel.On closer inspection of the Jawa,i noticed there was slight stress mark/cracks around the four corners of the bubble where it sits against the cardback so i knocked the price down a bit.I'm not knocking Toni as he packaged my stuff really well,i just didn't notice the stress marks until i came to selling it!

Ron-welcome back to collecting! 8)
 
Yeah was a shame as was really looking forward to the 'one in the picture' as that DID look like a C9+!
 
Shame about the R2 Ham,,

I just got some nice stuff from Andy on here i got some from the other Andy too (nads) but i will get them up later.
All loose but soooo nice.

sweeeeeeeet :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
I have dealt with toytoni a few times and found he usually undergrades even the c9 light blue fetts he has sold me have looked like solid c9.5 and i have sent to afa and two have been graded 90 plus the boushh i purchased from him that he told me was only a c8.5 got grades 85 90 90 and afa 90 overall....however it is annoying to be sent a different card than advertised especially when its a trilogo as the bubbles are dodgy 95 percent of the time and really he should have said before you paid that it would be not the exact item shown as stock photos are a defo no no plus some of his replies are somtimes 4 words long and blunt.

good you are getting a refund though :)
 
I've had a good few weeks.

None come up up on the radar for ages and then three come along.

Thanks to a few members on here for the deals.
