G2 Menasor and Defensor for sale on Facebook.

Sceptical because of the price or that they could be fakes?

No, he/she pulled a shifty last time. Supposedly he/she had only one G2 Stunticon set. Then a lil while later after he/she sold it, miraculously, he/she had another G2 Stunticon for sale. Bad form on their part.

If I remember it wrong anyone, please update

Buyer knew at time of transaction (payment/handover) the seller had more sets, yet still went through with the sale. A couple of months later they realised they just paid $28K for a toy.

From what I remember, and I haven't gone back and read the thread again since it all happened, was that the buyer stated they were shown the other sets after they had paid. But it is just buyer vs seller so we'll probably never really know. But you are right. Some massive buyer's remorse kicked in afterwards.

And while it was never actually stated, the seller let it be assumed, and then never corrected that assumption, that this was the only set he had and the only complete set (minus the head) he was aware of. He also said he was acting as an agent selling them on behalf of someone else when they were his items.

It was a highly dubious way to conduct an auction.

I don't have any issue with the seller not stating at time of auction they have another set or two. From a sellers perspective they want to maximize the sale price. From a buyers perspective an obvious question would be - do you have any more?

Neither the acting as an agent bit, I can see how this could be suspect and it was unnecessary but he had the items and he wanted to sell. They provided plenty of photos, even photos of the sticker sheet in the bag as I recall. I doubt it would have affected the buyers at the time of bidding. A seller who just says 'the photos make up the description' is more annoying.

The buyer failed ebay 101 - they got caught up in the hype and didn't do the required level of research for the amount they were willing to spend (hey I research $10 items if I don't know anything about them).

If I had that amount to spend on toys - I wouldn't be buying some limited run G2's no matter how rare!

A seller is under no obligation to let a buyer know what other items they may or may not have for sale.
But then also nobody likes to be deliberately received.
Ultimately something is only worth what someone is willing to pay.
If I sold you a toothbrush for $1 or $100 and you pay the higher price then I think the buyer has only themselves to blame and deserves no sympathy.

These are things I have heard about that seller..

- Most items on their eBay were auctions with stupidly high reserves which were never met. So the item goes unsold and then relisted with a BIN price someway above the highest bid.

- Pete from Botcon won an auction cheap but the seller refused to let it go.

- With the (stupidly high) $28,000 auction the seller was using every word to make it sound like this was "most likely the only chance" to ever own one despite himself having several to sell.

- He said he was a broker of the toys for an elderly couple but nope.. they were his bought at a garage or estate sale.

- I believe once the transaction broke down, some amount of refund was given to the fooled buyer on the condition of signing a Non-disclosure agreement about the whole thing. Why would you make that a condition?


If even half of the above is true I think this seller is of the worst kind, they would cut the teats off a cow just to squeeze one more drop of milk.

And I would rather z75sales, starwarsprotos, ToyHunter, etc.. be buried with these toys then ring every last cent for them.

All I can is that I hope you never browse ebay!
