Thanks very much Skull.
Wow, awesome pics Pete!!! Perfect lighting and Robo's armor looks incredible
Lovely shots, he's looking great. Tuesday for me maybe....
Most if not all those parts started at about 5 bucks, some even less.
All those bidders that are currently active in bidding created a little bid war days/hours before all of those items end. So instead of them getting anything cheap, they've all artificially raised the prices for each part for an overall sum that will be more than buying the whole figure set. It's just stupid.
Why would you just keep bidding and bidding, putting in more and more increments of about $80 for just that head? Or $35 EACH for those limbs? It just doesn't make sense to me. I can see bidding early if you're not going to be around later to bid, but continually bidding to drive up the price to the point where all of the parts together will be over $300+? I don't get it. It's not just one bidder either, but multiple bidders. Ebay used to be a place where you could get bargains, but now eager beavers drive up the price of everything with their stupidity. I thought the whole aspect of parting out was to take advantage of the fact that the parts are getting broken down individually for cheap prices? What are these guys going to do if they win an arm and a leg, but no torso? You're better off just buying the whole figure elsewhere.
Yep, ****ing eejits at best. Shill bidders at worst.
i must explain to our international friends that eejit is a type of buffoon or imbecile.
Yeah and I gotta agree that shill bidders are the worst.
Man that is a detailed study of those auctions. Well done.
It's hard to conceive of what these bidders were thinking. What are they gonna use these separate parts for? How could it possibly be worth paying more than for a complete figure? If you are trying for every constituent part of the complete figure why not just buy the complete figure?
Man, these end prices are ridiculous. I can't believe people would actually pay that much for single parts.
And now the seller listed all the parts again, for low prices, and what does that e***e bidder (the one that tried to win everything but only got part of the chair for $85) do? He immediately bids on all the new parts he lost when there's still 5 days to go.
They were clearly around to bid in the last few seconds, I watched it happen. Why then, would you bid 5 days earlier? Seems counter productive.
