Nikto on ebay

[PGowdy]

Might stick a bid in. Is this all above board?

Looks ok to me. Bubble seems to be in good condition which is a bit hard to find on the tri-logo's

Personally i've never seen the appeal of the tri-logo's and i've never found them to make much money as the others

 

[PGowdy]

Thanks Silver Grin,
I agree with you a bit tho part of the appeal if the tri logos is that you can get em quite cheap. I'd pay a tenner for this but £40... er, no.

Go for it Pete, let us know if ya won or not

 

[silver grin]

there's an AFA Nikto Tri-logo for sale on ebay at £125 buy it now. It's an AFA 85 but i'm not sure if this one could be graded 85 overall

 

[PGowdy]

125 sounds a bit steep and i just won this one for 12.51 (spooky)

I'm not so keen on Nikto, Klaatu and that ugly lot but 12 quid seems like a good deal.


Cheers guys.

£12 is a good deal Pete. 8)

 

[silver grin]

If I was that seller I would be pissed!

Nice one Pete

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah, he's had bad FB tho about packaging things poorly so i am a bit worried. I wanna tell him to package it properly but if he doesn't have star cases or bubble wrap i'm not sure what to suggest.
:?

 

[Caswellbot]

Unless he lives in a cave he should have access to a caboard box and a newspaper. Wrap the carded figure carefully in newspaper then pack the box with loosely crumpled paper to act as protection. I find this work fine 99% of the time.

This reminds me of a time when I first started collecting cards nd funnily enough I bought a Tri Logo Nikto that arrived smashed to bits in a jiffy bag! Was not impressed! Send it straight back and managed get a full refund though.

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah that was my worry.
Have messaged him and basically told him how to package it (much as you have suggested). Hope he complies or i too will be sending Nikto straight back where he came from...

Cheers Chris.

Nice pick up, Nikto is one of the Tri logo alternate backs :wink:

 

[PGowdy]

Cool, didn't know that. So it'll look different to the 2 i have? (Prune Face and Logray)

 

[aussiejames]

Nice pick up, Nikto is one of the Tri logo alternate backs :wink:

:lol: & he'll be slightly different to a Kenner MOC Nikto too
EDIT I didn't mean to quote myself

 

[PGowdy]

You know i still don't know how to tell the difference between a Kenner and a Palitoy tri-logo. Still so green... :?

Nice buy Pete, congrats :wink:
