Today on Facebook...

[Tarkin's nosehair]

I hear you Stubbs I was exactly the same. Now I look at Facebook a bit like a power tool, it can be really useful or it could end up cutting your bloody leg off. I only join a select few groups that specialize in my interests and have their only rule as mutual respect. I avoid the worse ones, its pretty clear to me who they are. I have learnt a ton of useful info' made a couple of new "friends" and obtained some nice pieces. You dont "Have" to get into an argument, you just have to make it work for you is all.

I picked this up yesterday from Facebook.

It cost £43, which in my opinion is a bargain, considered by the prices people ask for loose complete speeders and Frankenstein bikes that seem to be mostly what gets sold. It should be the Macau speeder bike, which is by far the least common coo of the Kenner bikes (imo and limited experience) and these cardboard insert bikes are far less common then the plastic tray counterparts.

The box is open and the contents sealed, which is exactly how I would want this.

Not everything on there goes for mental money.

Great price

 

[Gaz46&2]

That's a nice pick-up. Vehicles don't appear to be popular at the moment. I've seen a lot of AT-STs and Snowspeeders sell for less than I would have expected.

 

[wrighty]

Crazy price but is it justified if reason is give?? :?:

 

[lejackal]

It is justified, doesn't mean it will sell though

 

[weasel]

Assuming the reason is true. I've seen far too many people spout sob stories to try extort an extra few quid.

 

[lejackal]

A 20 back Death Squad Commander was listed for £350, the very same card was 'sold' yesterday on eBay by the same person for £173 at auction.....now call me cynical but some might say he wasn't happy with the price :roll:

The stupidity will accelerate in a few months when the hype for the next film properly kicks off.

 

[Mini99]

Oh I really do hope not.

 

[Stubbs]

The stupidity will accelerate in a few months when the hype for the next film properly kicks off.

I hope not also im finding it hard to finish my loose run with these prices

 

[wrighty]

Really? :shock:

 

[Mini99]

Really? :shock:

I am afraid so :!:

 

[edd_jedi]

Hmm.. very surprised at that one to be honest. The guy was asking a few months back for various sabers as he couldn't find any in the US (for a decent price). He was interested on a few here in the UK, and I offered to take them to the US as I was visiting Louisville in June to save him on carriage !

 

[subzero]

Iv'e been getting into collecting seriously since the start of this summer, but I will not be buying anywhere near around xmas time, xmas + new SW film = crazy spending mania. I'll be steering well clear of ebay and probably won't even be doing any searches because all the prices on loose figures will just be stupid!.. i'll have a several month break then start collecting again next spring/summer 8)

Hi Guys

Looking for a bit of advice on Facebook. Do not really use it and want to search for a few Palitoy card backs that I still need. What is the best way or group to join to search for cardbacks?

Thanks

 

[Richard_H]

There are specific cardback groups such as this one:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/660038780751937/

 

[x-wingMark]

Thanks, I will check it out.

 

[x-wingMark]

When I go to the link it says expired or not allowed to view. Do you know the name of the groups to search for?

Thanks

 

[Richard_H]

vintage star wars cardboard (cardbacks and boxes)

 

[x-wingMark]

Thanks Richard for helping me out. I must be doing something wrong as when I search in groups nothing shows up under that name.

I knew there was a reason a stayed away from Facebook. :lol:

I just watched that R2 sell wow, couldn't believe it.
I think that two guys really wanted this and pushed the price up from a high price to a crazy price. :roll:
Was a nice one though.

 

[edd_jedi]

It's the incredibly rare blue bar R2! :roll:
