Ridiculously Out To Lunch

Hi All.

I think one of the small pleasures I get from constantly hunting for TF's is seeing some of the crazy prices attributed to some tfs by inexperienced or predatory sellers...

I thought I would start a thread for those of you who also find amusement in this kind of find...

Please post links.
No discussion of something you saw once...

Just the facts.

Also, don't post anything from Cybertron.ca
There are some postings here that would fit the bill but lets keep discussion off site.

Re: Ridiculously Out To Lunch

Here's one to start...
No price given but the insinuation of price is still pretty rich...

Re: Ridiculously Out To Lunch

This shit still kills me:

Especially the ones who said they had multiple Hasbro TRU MP OP's yet still wanted to soak suckers for +$100 above retail.

CL is king of the rip offs...lol

I have to say though, it's really hard to find MP 10 for less than 200 anymore.

Re: Ridiculously Out To Lunch

I like the reverse. Like when someone decides a cheaper price of a figure FOR you even though you are selling it at actual retail price. Those annoy me. I once picked up a figure for someone on another board, someone that I had dealt with in the past without issue. He knew the price since I told him before I picked it up and when I got it he said he didn't want it anymore. No biggy, I can sell it. So next moth I list it on a site and he asks for it at a cheaper price and I haven't spoken to this person since.
Love those kinds of people. (sarcasm overload) Do them a favour and they pull shit like this. Mind you this was years ago but I find it just as annoying as people who scalp.

Edit: Curious as to how much MP TRU Grimmy is selling for on ebay, stumbled upon this

Used AND broken.
