    GM has easily been $6000 AUD with box and posted for about seven years now, these three "prices" are outliers imho. I have never been scammed on ebay when paying with paypal. I am of the understanding that if you get screwed you will be refunded in full. This is a relatively big ticket item so I'm just putting it out there. I'm not asking for a go or no go, just getting as much collective information as I can.

    $6k! For that kind of money I can get front row seat to Miss Universe to hear the collective Think Tank address & resolve monumental global issues such as World Peace, Child Education, Poverty, affordable vintage MISB/MOSC G1 Transformers, Equal Rights, Energy Security, Food Security, Universal Healthcare.

    If anything this drives the price down due to "so many" being available.
    That is really odd, with identical photos and similar descriptions.
    Since at least two of those sellers look to be legit traders, I'm thinking that they could be selling agents (for commission), and the actual owner of the toy has offered it to all three stores to sell it... so that when one sells it, the other listings would be removed. I guess they don't expect more than one listing to sell at the exact same time, and if they did, they'd probably just message one of the buyers that the item was removed from sale.
    There's probably nothing in the ebay rules to prevent it if each agent listing it was not aware of the others, but I think it would actually drive up the secondary price, as other people will think that it is the going rate (even if they don't sell), and it will affect the ebay system's average pricing recommendations (when listing something or looking at a similar item).

    ^ IIRC the company that made them said they had "a license from Hasbro" but it turned out they didn't. The various TF retailers in Asia sold them back in the day.

    They look nice, but I've never seen them before, so I'd imagine they are indeed unlicensed, as I like getting those sorts of (official) things.

    Are they reproduction sticker sheets of the original Gen1 combiner toys for people wanting to replace their worn stickers, or extra stickers like the Titans Return sticker sheets from Hong Kong?
