Valuation Please - Kenner 12" Obi-Wan

If anyone could let me know how much I've over payed by that would be great

Thanks!

You never over pay, maybe just bought it a few years too early

About £100-ish. Shame about that POP, that knocked £50 off the price.

Thanks Mark,

I didn't spot it when I bought it but it was on the photos so can't complain. Don't drunk buy is the moral of this story!

I paid £110 shipped from the US but now have £37 import duty and fees to pay :evil:

Never mind, lesson learned.

It's always the customs charges that **** it up
I gave up with stuff from US as everything seemed to get hit :evil:

£37 for customs charges on £110 seems way to steep. I get stuff from the usa all the time and customs is usually something like £8 handling fee and £6 import tax ect and for something around the value of £110 I would have thought £20 max :?
I once got a customs bill for £1600 on one item I bought, think it was a guitar, but rang them up and they said it was a mistake and re issued me a new bill, so I would ring them up just to check as they do make mistakes now and again.
Back to your obi wan its a lovely figure and I think I paid £80 all up for my loose complete one from the states about a year ago if that helps

My suspicion is that he has put a higher value on the customs form as he had the figure listed for a much higher BIN than my offer which was accepted ($200 against the $120 paid) I won't know until I see it though and the £37 includes the Parcelfarce (deliberate typo) fee of £12.
