Pick-Up Only

[Verno]

I'd love to get my hands on this lot and rifle around and pick out all the BW bits.

eBay TF Lot (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170501947299&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT)

But as the seller asserts, she won't post, full stop.

I even tried to reason with her this afternoon. I pointed out the fact the auction had no bids with 2 days to go but even that wouldn't budge her resolve.

Sydney is a big place. So even for a local collector, it could be a big trip to go and pick it up.

So it's a shame really. I can only hope that she has a change of heart in the next 40 hours and offers me some lifeline.

I'm not calling dibs on it so anyone is free to bid and then take a picture of all the nice BW bits and wave it in my face :P

I've just asked from where pickup would take place. If i can get there, I'll buy it and we'll take it from there.

[1AZRAEL1]

I'd be keen for some of that as well.

[Verno]

Knowing my luck its all broken junk, but its the mystique that draws me to it.

[fatbot]

I can get there. I've just bid on it, I'll let you know what's in it, if I win, on sunday afternoon.

[Verno]

You are all sorts of awesome.

[fatbot]

You are all sorts of awesome.

Shhhh, don't tell anyone. Ah hell, who am I kidding, no one would believe you

[Verno]

If that Scorponok is anywhere near complete, who cares what anyone else thinks!

[fatbot]

If that Scorponok is anywhere near complete, who cares what anyone else thinks!

What else can you see? I can only make out green lion Voltron, Energon Omega, Rid Magnus, Skyquake & Aramda Cyclonus

[Verno]

Should we list them? You never know who is reading :P

BW Scorponok, TM2 Cheetor, Bonecrusher, TM Waspinator, Tarantulas, Rhinox, possibly a Dinobot going on some of the colour up the back.

A bit of a gamble but I love a good punt.

[i_amtrunks]

Id certainly be interested in the Skyquake!

Looks like there might be some movie stuff in there too, I think I could make out a bumblebee bonnet.
And maybe a Machine Wars Soundwave and there is a red jet or something in the front left corner that seems familiar...

[Autocon]

tm2 cheetor complete? i cant see it in the box:(

[Hursticon]

I actually asked the Seller for pics in the afternoon of Tuesday the 22nd.

I received a reply at 3:36pm yesterday afternoon (23rd) and the seller said that the items are at their Mother's place and that they'll try and get some pictures later that afternoon, I had also given them my email address.

Admittedly I was hoping nobody here would want or see this auction (False Hopes, lol) but it looks like I'll be missing out on this one as something tells me Fatbot your Money and Awesomeness supersedes my own. :p

Good luck anyway with it dude, just bare Hursticon in mind if there are any Fists or Feet to G1 Bruticus in that lot. :D

[1AZRAEL1]

Id certainly be interested in the Skyquake

Damn :p

[Verno]

Admittedly I was hoping nobody here would want or see this auction (False Hopes, lol)

Sorry Dude. I think we're all well versed at scouring eBay's depths for anything that might've fallen through the cracks. :p

Although this could be the birth of something very special. A TransFans Auction Co-Op. You get one person to bid unchallenged and then devide it up at a later date. "ATAC" for short.

[fatbot]

well, I hope one of you grabbed it, cause I lost the auction. Although I didn't put a very high bid on it any way

[1AZRAEL1]

Nope, I didn't get it either.

[5FDP]

I'm surprised none of you guys won it. It only went for 22 bucks. Didn't seem to be anything in there that interested me.

[Verno]

Some Sydney-sider is now softing through the assorted wares :(

[Hursticon]

Indeed, oh well good luck to them, I hope there was something in there that they wanted.

I never did get those photos the seller said they would get for me...

[Verno]

In regards to that seller, a quote from Bernard Black:

'Oh don't mind her, she's a crazy bitch'

[Verno]

Well, well, well...

That sneaky trollop (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/huge-box-robots-and-many-transformer-parts-bits-ect-/170506583323?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Action_Figures&hash=item27b2fbfd1b)

Looks like she's relisted the item at a price higher than what it sold for. Perhaps she got a friend to jump up the price of the old auction? eBay scum.

[1AZRAEL1]

What a prick.

Anyone gonna bid on it this time? Fatbot?

[Hursticon]

Well, well, well...

lol, I've not heard anyone use the term 'Trollop' in ages. :p


What a prick.

I agree, where do they get off? maybe if they would post some more pics they might get some more interest?, I personally don't like lucky dips when it comes to eBay.

[Verno]

If I was Fatbot, I'd be asking why I wasn't offered a 2nd chance offer, being the 2nd highest bidder.

[fatbot]

that"s a good idea, I'm going to send one now.


Hi, Is this the same item that I bid on last week and missed out on? If it is and the winning bidder did not pay, then why didn't you give me the 2nd chance that is available as I would have bought it and saved you all the hassle of re-listing it and losing more money on fees.

I've also reported the seller to eBay

[5FDP]

Hmmm... and the plot thickens. Didn't see this one coming :rolleyes:

Seriously guys, I would just steer away from this. It's not gonna be worth the hassle.

[SkyWarp91]

Yeah 98.6% feedback with less than 70 transactions in history and with a item description in half-arsed COMIC SANS reflects a good seller fo' sure...

"now this is for the die hard collector

there is a huge box original parts from

transformers, beasts wars, energon, and armada parts,gi joe parts

so may(fail) bits to choose from

swords, heads, legs, guns

pretty much whatever you need it could possibly be here

there is also a "omega supreme body with a missing head"

[fatbot]

Hello Grant,

Thank you for writing to eBay Customer Support about your report.

I noted you are concerned as seller 'kriskarsales' is selling items that
have been sold before. Let me check for possible shill bidding.

I have opened an investigation on this seller's items and our system
shows that there is no shill bidding activity on the auctions. I hope
you undestand that due to our privacy policy I am unable to discuss this
further.

Please be assured that once we received additional information, we will
open another investigation and take necessary action based on our
policy.

I appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. If you
would need further assistance Grant, please feel free to write back to
us.

Regards,

Katrina A.

Well I reported the seller, can anyone else tell that eBay doesn't care?

[1AZRAEL1]

When do they ever?

[Sharky]

When do they ever?
they care when you are late paying their fees

[1AZRAEL1]

they care when you are late paying their fees

Exactly, only when it affects them :p

[Verno]

Still no bids, what a suprise. :p

Any word back from the seller FatBot?

[fatbot]

haven't heard a thing from the sneaky little bastard

[Verno]

If I were you FatBot I'd almost be tempted to bid again, but it's the principle of the matter. Something dodgy has gone on at that end, be it a non-paying buyer or the seller getting a friend to jack up the price, but to then relist at a higher price is not acceptable.

[1AZRAEL1]

I'd bid, if I had any money to do so :(

[Verno]

There are some shenanigans going on now. More interest than it originally had.

Hmm a bit worrying. Anyone bidding on it?

[Sharky]

Hmm a bit worrying. Anyone bidding on it?

in discussions with verno over msn i have stuck a bit on it its not very high.

it is a very dodgey auction half expecting the box to be stuffed with pure junk as a filler

[Verno]

Hmm a bit worrying. Anyone bidding on it?

I think Sharky is on top of it atm.

[kup]

I cannot see many toys there that would be in good condition.

That BW Scorponok is barely visible, I cannot tell if it's got legs (robot), arms or a head.

[Verno]

I can see one robot leg. If you draw a line straight up from the TM2 Cheetor, thats basically his leg.

[1AZRAEL1]

Yea looking at Skyquake, the scope looks a lil broken to me. But that could just be the photo. Spose we will find out what the condition of them are if someone wins it here, and they don't relist it :p

[Sharky]

well i won the auction...$26.49 lets see what happens now.....

[1AZRAEL1]

That was pretty cheap, even if most of it does turn out to be rubbish, I'm sure there will be enough good stuff in it to make it worth it. Just have to see if they will reneg again.

[Sharky]

i have organised for pick up on friday morning, lets hope i dont get murdered or something......

[i_amtrunks]

i have organised for pick up on friday morning, lets hope i dont get murdered or something......

Then we might get a "Sharky's body parts" box from the seller! :p

Mt Druitt is not as bad as the rap it gets in the media.

[liegeprime]

Shark Fin soup... anyone??:p;):D

[1AZRAEL1]

Mt Druitt is not as bad as the rap it gets in the media.

In Mt Druitt Is it? Hey Sharky, you should come visit, I live only a couple of suburbs over :p

[5FDP]

In Mt Druitt Is it? Hey Sharky, you should come visit, I live only a couple of suburbs over :p

Is that the house with the 1 meter high grass and car propped up on bricks? :D

[1AZRAEL1]

Nah that's next door :D

[Sharky]

In Mt Druitt Is it? Hey Sharky, you should come visit, I live only a couple of suburbs over :p

gah didnt see this untill now otherwise i would of come over to steal your stuff errrr visit :p

[1AZRAEL1]

gah didnt see this untill now otherwise i would of come over to steal your stuff errrr visit :p

Haha I'm still up now. I'll pm you my number if you still feel like stealing my stuff :p

[Verno]

Somewhere, in the outskirts of Sydney, a man with a dodgy knee is making his way up the front steps of a dishevelled looking residence. The $25 in his pocket is getting sweaty from being clutched so tightly. He's ready to run as fast as his good leg can take him...

[Sharky]

haha well i made it back safe this is the box of stuff i am sorting now.....

Beast Wars

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Sharkysparky/Pick%20Up%20Only/P7090428.jpg

[kup]

If that TM Megatron is intact, it may have been worth it.

The other G1 item of interest was Skyquake.

[Sharky]

megatron is pretty good except he is missing his right arm....

i have photographed the Beastwars stuff individually..

Beast Wars (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Sharkysparky/Pick%20Up%20Only/Beast%20Wars/)

Tarantuals is another in good shape.. missile only 1 missile and his right forearm/mandible

[iceburn]

[i_amtrunks]

Hey a Terrorsaur! ANd Croc Megatron look alright.
Quite a few figures that look like they are in okay shape, and others that are certainly useful for parts.
The black tank in the parts photo belongs to Energon Galvatron, who if in good knick makes the box all the better a deal.

That doesn't seem to have been too bad a box of items, too bad they were a dodgy seller in the first place.

[kup]

That Skyquake scope could me cosmetically fixed.

The BW Scorponok also doesn't look as bad as he seems. He seems to have all his arms and legs as well as the head.

[Verno]

He actually has 2 left legs. This lot if one of the weirdest I've seen!

as verno says he has two left legs, the bottom of the claws are missing and the stinger on the tail.....from a distance he looks ok.. up close tho.. not so good

[Sharky]

a better pick of energon with beast machine longhorn (or whoever)

[iceburn]

really ok lot for that price and pickup :D

[1AZRAEL1]

Not a bad price for all he stuff you got ay.

[Sharky]

Not a bad price for all he stuff you got ay.



yeah it wasnt to bad really even if i resell everything for a buck i will make money on it all....

[Autocon]

hows tm2 cheetor and polar claw?
looks like the aftermath of a great battle! lol

[Autocon]

who is the bw with the orangy wheel green brown grey and green eyes photo 6? and those parts the 2 yellow legs, dark grey leg above and mandibles?:confused:

edit megatron repaint:p

[liegeprime]

yeah it wasnt to bad really even if i resell everything for a buck i will make money on it all....

true, and Im pretty sure you'll not be of want of buyers from here (already lining up in queue:D:p)

[Sharky]

yeah when i get the time i will photograph and post it all up here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=179355&postcount=2)

i did do the beast wars stuff mostly and that has already been ransacked by verno!!!!.


its also been 3 days since i picked it up and 5 since i paid and they have not left feedback... one of the things that annoys me the most is when sellers do not leave feedback after you pay they wait untill you leave feed back (which i did on friday).....
