Alternators Lot on Ebay

[Trailer Park Ninja]

Hi,

Can anyone spare me $800+ USD? :D

Bugger that. I saw someone selling a complete set of Binaltechs for about 8-900AUD - sif I'd spend that on crummy plastic Alternators! :p

[Trailer Park Ninja]

Wow, that would be sweet!

[iceburn]

it's still a good lot though to invest in. binaltech may be too expensive for some collectors and has limited varieties

[Tober]

Binaltech lost it tho. Pity really.

Alternators > Binaltech.

If people are willing to try a group buy again I would be interested in one of the Shockblasts and the Rumble and Ravage Jaguar XK.

[Borgeman]

well i already asked how much postage to me is, and i will report the findings

and yes im interested in a group bid again

George

[Trailer Park Ninja]

I might also be interested in a group buy ;)

[Paulbot]

I'd put some money in towards getting Swerve and Wheeljack

[STL]

I'll chip in too for Camshaft and Decepticharge.

[iceburn]

Mirage and other Shockblast if its a good deal?

[Trailer Park Ninja]

I'm interested in one of those Shockblasts and Sunstreaker

[E|dan]

white miester for me!!

[The_Damned]

i would be up for ravage jaguar and rumble!!

[TheDirtyDigger]

Well me I missed the Casefresh special so I would be interested in Sunstreaker and Prowl.

[GoktimusPrime]

mm... nothing there I really want. I only get Alternators where there is no Binaltech version.

[iceburn]

mm... nothing there I really want. I only get Alternators where there is no Binaltech version.

true enough :P...

[Saintly]

I'll chip in for BT02 Lambor and Dead End...

whoever doing the bidding, please pm me.

[Borgeman]

add me down for tracks, skids and battle ravage also :)

George

[Paulbot]

Looks like George's question about shipping got answered... but $150 US shipping to Australia seems really cheap for 29 toys!

That works out just to US $5.20 per toy (plus the postage to you from where ever the lot arrives).

Say we all pay US$20 for each Alternator that gives us a minimum bid of USD $580 and several of these Alternators are worth more than US$20!

I'll put my hand up to help organise and bid, but there's no way I could handle getting 29 alternators delivered to my PO BOX!

Sorry guys I haven't had a chance to catch up on this thread and won't be able again till tonight. Boy, you guys don't muck about do you? Like vultures to carrion (meant as a compliment lol).

Thanks to Paulbot for organising the list. I'm only interested in Sunstreaker and the loose Grimlock at this stage. I'll be back later tonight.

[Borgeman]

in amidst all this, the price has gone to 900AUD :/

so can we suss out a max bid so we know whether we should even bother

George

[iceburn]

well....still about A$40 a piece including shipping.
Hope Paul will be able to determine the estimate although there are eight more figures to be allocated to

[Saintly]

OMG! I have a feeling the person that placed the $600 bid lurks in our midst! and the current winning bidder probably also felt that inclined :(

[Paulbot]

Going by people's maximum bids so far I'd say we're put out of the running :(

[iceburn]

well.. still a good effort. wonder when our forum will ever win one mass auction. hahahaha

[TheDirtyDigger]

Ok I was being a bit of a tight ass. Up my max by $10 each.

[Trailer Park Ninja]

Damn! $930.XX and another 5 days to go so it would easily hit over $1000 :(

[iceburn]

gosh i think it must be a fake bidder that will end up on ebay again

[Paulbot]

I think this is going to end up selling quite high.

At the moment I wouldn't rule out being able to just make a higher bid, I'm just waiting on the max prices Borgeman, STL, Trailer Park Ninja and Eidan are willing to pay for the toys they expressed interest in.

[Trailer Park Ninja]

Pm incoming

[STL]

I'm willing to chip in $75 a piece so $150 to the total.

[Paulbot]

We're getting closer to making a bid! :)

[Paulbot]

Ok just an update on this.

The Ebay auction has still stalled with no higher prices, but taking into account everyone's max bids and with no takers for several of the Alternators still up for grabs, we don't have enough to make a higher bid :(

Looks like we will have to pass this one guys.

[Saintly]

well.. just as that one is about to end.. there's another lot but only 23 of them -> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220191700147

and I'll put some money in #6 & #12 if someone wants to organise a groupbuy

[Trailer Park Ninja]

I'm up for #9, #13 and #18
Grimlock, Wheeljack and Sunstreaker. I've asked the seller for a quote on shipping.

I've thought as much :( Oh, well, this makes me more determined for the next opportunity that comes round, I'm sure the Ozformers Alternators Group Buying Consortium will one day win an Ebay auction :D

[The_Damned]

as always i would be up #24 & #26 :)

[lhec]

i'm up for #5, #7 and #14

[Borgeman]

well due to recent expenditure, ill only be interested in smokescreen in the new lot if it goes ahead

George

[lhec]

sorry, didnt know the post carried from previous ebay bid...thought...new bidding for the new ebay bid...anyway...the ones i want are already taken so ignore my post...sorri for the confusion.

[Trailer Park Ninja]

TPN, there are 2 Shockblasts and 2 Optimus Prime

I'm confused :confused::confused::confused: (not that it is hard to confuse me :D). Are you referring to the first auction which has now concluded? That auction list had 2 Shockblasts and 2 Optimus Primes. This second auction (Post #38) is where I made this list from and brought over the nominations from that first auction list. Are we going from scratch again, first come, first served since the original auction fell through?

TPN..oops me bad. sorry guys...
removing my postings

[Trailer Park Ninja]

No worries Iceburn :), I've made the list for this second auction as best as I can though this could easily change if the original takers change their mind. There are 7-8 Alternators without takers at this stage.

[iceburn]

i'm happy to stick with mine...

[lhec]

C .....lock me in for the red tracks...#5...thanks eddie...i mean Trailer_Park_Ninja :)

[Trailer Park Ninja]

Lol, I guess I'll have to take that as a compliment lol :D. Seller has responded to my question on shipping to Oz with tracking & insurance being at $150 USD.

Update: Seller has closed the auction early.

[Saintly]

yep, it appears the seller no longer wants to sell the 23 ALTs!!

[iceburn]

another auction gone busted...
