eBay complaints
 

I was browsing eBay and came across this "reasonably priced" Sleep Convoy.

I guess the guy didn't do the conversion properly.

Re: Must be made of Platinum...
 

He probably put in a price of 5500 and thought it was Yen.

Re: Must be made of Platinum...
 

yah but his other auctions are 'seem' normally priced

Re: Must be made of Platinum...
 

well, they do say you're worth more dead than alive :p

Re: Must be made of Platinum...
 

And a measly $240 for shipping to canada!!!!!!!

EBay laughs yet again!!!!!
 

Here is a really good price for a vintage dollar store transformer KO!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/80S-MOC-TRANSFOR...item3cb48108c1

At that price I'll buy two!

Re: EBay laughs yet again!!!!!
 

that's not just ultra rare, it's ultra awesome!

Re: EBay laughs yet again!!!!!
 

Re: EBay laughs yet again!!!!!
 

Wow, who in their right mind would pay that much for a KO Transformer?, "Mint In Card" not withstanding, LOL!

Re: EBay laughs yet again!!!!!
 

only the insane and demented would buy it. I have collection of Dollarama gestalt Constructicons. Maybe I can get him to sell them at $300 each for me. I'll take $1800 for em noooo problem. lol

Re: EBay laughs yet again!!!!!
 

I actually had one of these a long time ago.

It was crap.

Re: EBay laughs yet again!!!!!
 

WTF Is that guy SMOKING?! :rant:

Re: EBay laughs yet again!!!!!
 

Somebody actually made an offer...

Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

Check this out, not only is this guy an idiot but seems to be a little non PC.

TRANSFORMERS G1 MEXICAN BLACK PROWL VERY RARE on eBay.ca (item 180614522021 end time 24-Jan-11 13:15:47 EST)

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

I am not liking how these post of Ebay and Kijiji "finds" are constantly labeled as "idiots," some of these people could be board members, or I might find myself refraining to post my own items online for fear that this board was going out of its way to insult me.

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

Well I guess "idiot" is a strong word and I should have used a more friendly term, but come on. A beat up prowl, just because it's a black version?. I just don't want to see people getting ripped off is all.

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

Your perception of value may be different that someone else.

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

when I first opened the link I read it as "black mexican on the prowl", then when I saw the picture of prowl I figured. $150 is to much may be $50, not sure not a G1 buyer

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

starting bid seems about right to me for that piece. a bit high, but will no doubt still get bids. The BIN is indeed high however without the box.

if i was still in my hayday, i'd bid on that

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

I think people should just grow up and leave others alone. If you don't like it, move on. Find something better to do with your time than rove around ebay finding "outrageous" auctions.

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

What's non PC about it? Why is he an idiot?

Umm....Prime?
 

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Vintage-Transform...item27b80dfcca

So this whole time Starscream and prime have had their name's mixed up? Well damn :O

Re: Umm....Prime?
 

Oh, not you too. Person is probably thinking it's Prime cause of the colours.

Re: EBay laughs yet again!!!!!
 

Re: Umm....Prime?
 

wait, this was posted before? O_o I just found it today while searching for cheap Tfs.

Re: Umm....Prime?
 

^this
from what line is that any ways?

Re: Umm....Prime?
 

^g1 actionmasters starscream.
looks to be missing everything including his transforming jet he rides.

Re: Umm....Prime?
 

I don't think it was posted before. Some people just get their panties in a bunch when people point out the con jobs that eBay sellers often try to pull with Transformers.

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

I guess I made a snap judgement, I gave it some thought and he is just describing that the figure is from Mexico. Like I said, idiot is a strong word, but again like I said 300.00 Buy it Now price?, for a beat up, used figure, not with any accessories, no box, no nothing. Just because it's a black version?

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

it's actually COMPLETE. i'm debating hard over bidding on this now. the dirt seems to be on the paint, so will clean up very easy.

in this condition, and complete, i'm surprised it has no bids yet.

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

Why doesn't it have a rubsign?

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

Well, the Prowl sold in MExico is a super rare variant. The price he is asking for is not totally out there.

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

The back window stickers are in english so I'm thinking he may have pieced it together so be careful!

Re: eBay complaints
 

Ugh, won a Full Tilt on Ebay for just under $9 a month ago. Never arrived. Contacted them through Ebay two days ago, and now today it's marked as shipped on Jan 26th =( Now I need to keep strict track of the days in case it doesn't show up in time.. Grrr

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

Check out miasboytoy, he just got one a week or so ago. Maybe you can ask him what he paid for his. I also think it's not a bad price as it is really rare.

Re: eBay complaints
 

Might be a good idea to file a claim sooner rather than later. Just to protect yourself. If the item does come in, you can always cancel the claim. If they have anything on the auction saying their typical ship time (usually 2-5 business days), you should have a valid enough reason to file the claim if they took 3+ weeks to ship.

Re: Another Fabulous Ebay Seller!!!!
 

Everything(well almost) exists pre-rubsign from the Diaclone/Microman toy lines that Hasbro gobbled up to make Transformers.

I assume this Mexican Prowl would fall into that sort of category.

Re: eBay complaints
 

I marked the dates on the calendar so I don't lose track, that way if I don't see anything the week before I plan to look into getting the claim for myself.

They didn't even email me back, I just got a auto notice from Ebay telling me my item was marked as shipped.. The day I email to ask about it.

I re-read their feedback again, thinking I must have missed something when I bid. They had one negative and 5 neutrals. 99.4% positive.. Maybe it slipped through the cracks.. :doh:

Im pretty new to Ebay. I had an account forever but almost never used it. Just since Nov. now have I got back to it and am learning my way about it. But might be my first time with the claims with Ebay and Paypal.

Hilarious: http://cgi.ebay.ca/RARE-TRANSFORMERS...ht_2570wt_1141

1. It's not AFA graded, AFA doesn't use plastic bags.
2. It's not new, it's sealed.

Yup, takes me back to 1984 when I could just buy this mail away exclusive right off the store shelf....right? Right?

AFA would grade anything if you'll pay them for it.

He has that done with all his auctions.

Re: eBay complaints
 

When I read these just bizarre item descriptions I just have to wonder if they aren't typed up by a room full of monkeys or something..
