Excellent! Cheers
The auction ended because it was sold elsewhere. Look at pompomnet's feedback to see the going rate. Not cheap.
Because Bumblebee had a new head the set was very popular, sold out everywhere pretty quick and the value peaked a couple of years back at around $175 AUD. Of course when the Encore Minibots came out with another Bumblebee (which is most likely what you've seen for $30) the value crashed right down to about half that. It's still more desirable than the Encore set because it's part of the book-box reissues and people like having the whole set, but this guy is over a year late to get the price he wants.
My days of trolling ebay for good deals died when I sold off my entire g1 collection, but recently, when I do frequent its halls I only ever see one message...
"I will ship anywhere in the world!"

You'd think he'd get it the first 20 times with his first set of auctions, but this guys prices are ridiculous and always end up being relisted.
Seeing as though he's selling off his ultra magnus one part at a time, he's gona be hanging around ebay aus for a looooooong time.
Sorry, just needed to vent.
