U grade piss takes

[Princess Leia Organa]

poor deluded soul Think i will message the seller and ask if i could































ram the thing right up his ass what a **** its not even worth 15 pounds loose .

 

[weasel]

Jesus those look terrible.

As someone who has a fair bit of graded stuff, I just don't like graded loose ships/vehicles. They just dom't look right without the box.

 

[Josh]

What happened to keeping all the U grade **** in one thread then? :?

[tiefighterboy]

What an unruly bunch of motherfuckers......this is supposed to be contained to one thread............you are all now black listed and banished. :lol:

Now for a one to ten page farewell from all members involved. :wink:

 

[Capetown]

Yeah this would fit the U Grade Piss takes thread really well. I wonder if some mod will move it? :?

 

[Josh]

:lol: Rules within rules within rules. There were people spouting off about it not long ago...that's all :wink:
I don't really give a **** myself. The whole forum could be U grade threads for all I care...usually they are the most entertaining anyway :lol:

 

[Joe]

People weren't arguing and calling each other ***** in that thread though so it slipped under the radar

Woo hoo - another 104 MOCs bite the dust - this man is a walking card killer

"THEY ARE ALL 'UNCIRCULATED' WHICH MEANS THEY ALL CAME FROM FACTORY SEALED CARDS/BUBBLES AND WERE NEVER IN CIRCULATION AS LOOSE FIGURES-IE- THEY WERE NEVER TOUCHED SINCE BEING PUT IN THEIR BUBBLES AT THE FACTORY AND WHEN GRADED AT 'ACTION FIGURE AUTHORITY'!"

What a sales pitch - I must have something that has never been touched - ******* ********

I hadn't looked on ebay for a while but just found these - surely no-one pays anywhere near these sort of prices for loose figures - U-Grade or not

[plantman]

I think they have stoppped selling though, hence why robbie is selling 104 in one lot, after buying the moc, posting it and paying for grading they aint making much profit surely.

Well if HMRC tag his ebay account he will be ******, i was worried about mine but his sales are in a different league.

 

[weasel]

Jesus, that's a LOT of MOC's!

HMRC would have a field day with him, although surely they must know about him, there's no way he could make his living from selling SW without having had to declare his income and or some details about his 'company' etc.

If he's been doing it under the radar and not declaring it (and I've no reason to suspect he's been that dumb) he's running a ******* huge risk!

 

[itfciain]

do you still have to pay customs charges into Ireland - I though the deal was that if you sent items of to the States for grading then you had to pay charges when they came back

 

[weasel]

Robbies based up north, so we get the same customs regs as the rest of the UK.
If he has the same luck as me he gets stung every single ******* time!
Although, I think you can claim it back if the items have only been sent for grading as (the argument goes) the value of the item hasn't been changed.
Not 100% sure TBH

 

[plantman]

if the item is being returned to you, you can have it marked and it bypasses customs, but the knobheads always ignore the label and charge you anyway, testing your patience to be bothered to fill in a form to claim it back.

although if you use fedex they charge you customs AFTER they have delivered the parcel so you can refuse to pay, thats what i did, and when i explained they cancelled the charge.

I hope you are right, Andy!

Some of the guys on here keep banging on about this kind of thing and certain dealers. But I actually think it is a good thing that they do. It isn't falling on deaf ears ... well, I'm listening anyway: there are loads of times I haven't offered or bought stuff because of who is selling it. All because of people outing them on forums.

[PGowdy]

What you sad about?

 

[itfciain]

Look at who has replied to the thread - you can guess what would happen to these !

 

[PGowdy]

Oh i see. Yeah he'd have em ripped to pieces in no time. All parted out for some filthy cash.
That seems a very good price for 25 MOCs tho. It works out at about £73 an moc. :shock:

 

[itfciain]

He'll probably get them sent straight onto AFA !

 

[tiefighterboy]

Yep.....they will slit the bubbles down the side and encase them in lucite forever.

 

[weasel]

He'll probably get them sent straight onto AFA !

I see he replied to you!
Worth keeping an eye on his sales to see if they appear U graded or not.

Lol - yes he did - I don't think he likes me very much - the seller also sent me a message asking me what was going on - so I told him what would be likely to happen to his lovely carded collection

I know people have to make a living, and I have no issue with people buying and selling but what he does is just plain wrong - and the more people that realise this the better as then demand will drop and people like Robbie will stop doing it
