    Default Knockoff Mirage, Slag & cassettes back on eBay Australia

    These have reappeared on eBay, and are being sold by the same dealer.
    Just a warning to stop people from getting ripped off by unscrupulous dealers.

    report him to eBay, it's against policy to sell KO's, they may get rid of him.

    I reported him last time.
    I used 'buy it now', then lodged a complaint.
    Does someone else want to do it this time? It won't cost any money, and you'll feel warm and fuzzy afterwards. :P
    Here is the guide I use for KO's: highendtfs.com/?q=node/17

    I was wondering why there were so many "new" Mirages on eBay recently. I knew of the Devastator knock offs, but didn't know they were doing other G1 TFs. Thanks for the heads up.

    I know a store that sells the bootleg dinobots... they actually look right at home next to the encores/ book re-issues/ commemorative/ vintage stuff that the store also carries. They are expensive, maybe $200 each, but they display nicely... how else are you supposed to get them?

    I doubt that the cops would give you the time of day. If the store carried a g1/ masterpiece megatron then someone in the police department might care... but copyright violation on a toy that hasn't really been produced properly for about 20 years... it's pretty small fish.

    If Hasbro wants to go for them, they can do it themselves, all they need is to get the Plod in at last mintue to raid the store. Hasbro can even perscute them, using their own legal department.

    I'd shudder to think what he charges for that beauty. I'm pretty sure he had an MP-04 for around $600... I can't remember the price, but it was about that mark.
