This guy is dreaming...and LOL look at the question someone asked him/her hehe. The answer is gold.

Thats to much to pay for something that is incomplete. He claimes he has not restored or repaired it, yet listing it as a custom and the fact that he has spent 50 hours repainting all the parts is a contradiction. Definitely an overly long description. I stay clear of wordy auctions, cause they can be differcult to follow and you may miss something important. Descriptions should be short and to the point. Also I would not have confidence in bidding with him cause he is also selling vouchers. sheesh what a waste of time..

This auction is retarded. "if you want an item that can qualify for an AFA grading then u came to the right place". The guy has "REPAINTED EVERY SINGLE PIECE (except the red parts)". Painting all over an incomplete toy and then calling it "DEEP NEAR MINT.(I PERSONALLY THINK HE IS MINT BUT PEOPLE JUDGEMENTS DIFFER SO I WROTE NEAR MINT)" doesn't increase its value, it diminishes it.

Well said!

If you wanted, you could each post what your max bid amount would be, and see if one of you is way higher than the others, making it pointless bidding against that person.
Otherwise, since there are three of you, and each really want the toy, it'd probably be best that you each bid on it to like normal. I think if one of you really wants it more, they will win it, but if only one of you ends up bidding, it might go cheap enough to annoy someone else who would have been willing to pay more.

This is going to be interesting...

or its going to be really painful....

Linthart/Fungal Infection, have any of you received any response from the seller regarding more detailed pics?
the seller hasnt got back to me and it would be great to see the actual condition of the figure and accessories in detail.
just stating "toy hasn't been moved out from the box" in the listing is not sufficient enough.

I haven't actually asked. i'm still sweating about the prospect of blowing a huge wad of cash.

Fungal and i are thinking the same amount as far as the bidding goes though. but its an immaculate piece from what's provided so we're a little worried that its gonna go sky high

Wait, someone else called Tom who collects Transformers and likes to tel other people what they think things are worth? And you found the question? What a startling coincidence!

Hey Crab, there's no way the 'Tom' in fishnuts question is our beloved, canofwhoopdass. That Tom goes by the ebay name orientalsoup87 or now oritentalsoup87. Our Tom is canofwhoopass87. Two obviously different Tom Nguyens from Keilor Downs...................................yeah.

How you know I'm in Keilor Downs or the details of random ebay members I dunno, but good to see you've taken a page from the digger and spent your hours researching mine and other peoples personal information.

Such immaturity - all over what? You missing out on a few g1 items from a year ago? Me speaking up about that dodgy you pulled on zippo with the g2 clench?

Was hoping the moderators had settled this, but looks like the inner jgon baby has resurfaced.

I feel so sorry for you. Get some help man.

Guys!! Come on...please!!! Can't we all just be friends?

[canofwhoopass_87]

At this rate it seems like you'll never leave home ya loser - get your life right buddy. I'm sure a fatass, ugly guy like you with a degree in IT, your life savings worth of transformers toys and an attitude problem to boot will take you places.

You're lonely. Get a girlfriend. You've never seen breasts other than your mums and your own jgon LOL

Not wasting my time with you anymore, so please continue your epic quest as you obtain as much personal information from me and other people on ebay as you can.

Dirtydigger - you're a strange man, but I'm hoping we can avoid further problems in the future and contribute to the boards without unnecessary infighting.

Anyway, let's not go off thread topic.
