So, just got accepted into a FB buying/selling/collecting group for MIMP, and upon reading the usual admin pinned post describing the 'page rules' I was expecting to see the usual load of bullshit patronising rules treating people like little 5 year olds, but instead seen this.
Now this is how it's ****ing done!

Someone asked for an 80 grade MOC to be valued, I checked the tracker and found none, checked ungraded and found the average to be just under £170 do said maybe £300 (quite a generous grade premium imo) yet the next comment from a dealer is that it's s £400 MOC. Does actual market data count for nothing or would that just **** up peoples investment/margin too much :?: :lol:

I saw this earlier, initially thought it was a joke, but then read that it had a COA.TK-7785 said:
Was there no quality control, how did it ever leave the factory?
Intresting item, never seen this before and then saw the asking price!
He does say that he's testing the waters, will be interesting to see what happens, especially on FB!

To be fair, that it even exists is pretty unbelievable, the fact it survived 30 odd years even more surprising. You could probably guarantee its the only one in the world.
Those blasters are worth 10k alone these days aren't they?

I'm calling bullshit on this one in Jason's group last week. Finding this in an old lady's yard sale....right. He gave himself away in one of his replies. After I called him out on it, no more replies lol. Lots of very credulous people on FB though. I think he would have been crucified had he tried something like this on here.

And if it was genuine then wouldn't Vader and Ben also have DT sabers from that same time period?
Just seems to me like he's trying to show off on facebook for attention. :?
Worth a tenner imo.

Yes you're right, but his profit margin is more like $1000 per item, and it's his reputation that sells the items, not the items themselves. He could grade one of his turds and there would be a queue of morons wanting to buy it.
You have a point though, I wonder if it is these high profile parasites encouraging other people to give it a go?
