Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

Hi skullcruncher and heroic_decepticon,
Indonesia is not the right place to find vintage tf, from what i remember when i was a kid, we only had a few g1 imported here around year 84-86, and then we didn't have any until beast wars, and chug, movie. We didn't even have A/C/E since the cartoon never aired in television.
In the past 3 years,me & my wife tried to track leftovers from small stores which were selling them based on my memories when i was a kid.
But no such luck until now. You can get some vintage from Kampung Mainan at Blok M, southern jakarta but the conditions are far from good and pricey too.

But if you're looking for takara pieces for decent prices you can get them when there is a toy fair or get them at Multi toys kelapa gading or pondok indah mall, they seldom discounted their prices.
I will let you know about other stores. I need to ask my friend who lived there.

Thanks Neeno, yes Blok M was where I went, top floor! Heroic Decepticon has some mad transformer hunting skills, he always seems to find something!

Thanks for the info.

Do let me know when you find out. I have contacts in Indo that can help me look up the places (but they don't collect TFs).

Yeah the guy continuously had good feedback increasing during the period of Transformers listings (when the listings were active his feedback score was 80 and now its 86). One of them was a giant plush teddy bear (my girlfriend was eyeing it!) that sold on a Friday, and then positive feedback was given the next day.



Just checked, here is another super suss feedback. 'Positive' feedback was given 30mins after the listing ended. Either these 'buyers' are really trusting or Chinese posties are that good.

So it looks like he just got the first lot of feedback from selling TFs and what a shock it is negative. The comment says 'fraudulent seller, ordered a transformer toy and got a Santa hat instead'

Doh!

[neeno]

dafuq!!!
now i have to open a case

please advise on how to win the case (even if ebay usually side with buyers) considering that the seller gave tracking no. with different ordered item.
do we have to open Item not as described and send back the wrong item before receiving a refund but it would cost us more to ship junk back to china not to mention the time it would take before he receives and confirm to ebay.

or ebay would just buy it if i open case for INR and refund straight away?

Hahaha welp

[neeno]

now he received another negative feedback, another santa hat was sent, no wonder he kept saying merry christmas in every messages

tried to open case but stupid ebay said i have to wait until feb 6, i can open item not as described case but afraid that i have to go into hassle of sending the santa hat back first before ebay refund my money

[UltraMac]

Looks like i am gonna have 6 santa hats turn up... negative feed back for the one i got today.. i dont think i will wait for the others to show... not happy but i hope to get the $$ back

[Dangermot]

Hahaha welp

let me know how it turns up UltraMac, i don't have any idea about how ebay will side to us. I am gonna have 8 santa hats in february if not sooner.

I don't think that is very funny.

relax, he's laughing at himself for 1 santa hat.

updates: I message him about his scam, surprisingly he acted like he was shocked about the item he was sent and his english is getting better than previous messages.
