Help please?

I know it's not much to go by, but is there a reason this Rodimus is so cheap?

I'm not sure on prices, etc. Does it look legit? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Maybe because it's a re-issue?

Btw, the seller is a member here - great guy to deal with.

[ITZTRU]

yeah i understand it's a re-issue. i just didnt think that even the re-issues would go for that cheap (cheap according to me, anyway...)

It's an auction, so maybe he's just starting it low and hoping for competing bidders.

It does sound cheap, but if he had a BIN, it'd probably be a bit higher.

[UltraMarginal]

maybe he managed to get it cheap somewhere and is starting at cost to him?

I'd say it'll go a bit higher than that by the end of the auction.

uteiki had that listed earlier with a BIN price of $78.50 and it passed over without any interest, so he's relisted it as an auction with a lower price to attract some bidders.

hey, yes, thats my item!

anyway tried selling it for $75 last week but no one bidded on it! It was something i found while clearing out the cupboard during the hols so trying to get sell my duplicates to get more TT United stuff haha...

And its the real deal.

I have also noticed that international buyers don't usually like to bid on Australian auctions due to expensive shipping costs due to our isolated geographical location. Americans have a massive fanbase to keep several TF exchanges internal and the Europeans can trade with each other.

However you never know if there are enough locals here interested in the item and willing to snipe in the last minute. It only takes a bid war between two people to drive the price up considerably.
