Hot Toys- Batman Begins:Batman Demon & Scarecrow spec and pics

[The Batman Professor]

I stand by my earlier assertion:

jackass.

 

[Buttmunch]

Oh I agree, but if someone buys both, then he would just get what is coming to him! Instead of making $450 on a set, he loses 2 sets for $250 each

 

[haytil]

Don't know if you're serious, but if you are, I'm totally up for it, Buttmunch. Or if anyone else is, PM me.

 

[haytil]

haytil, that's one way of looking at it, but I see it as a scumbag move to trap unwary buyers who think they're getting the DEAL OF THE CENTURY, quickly click "buy it now," and find out they're on the hook for a lot of dinero.

I don't think anyone's going to be fooled by the $50 price tag. It's too much in the "too good to be true" camp.

If shipping were like $800, I might agree with you - but $450 is the average going rate on Ebay right now, so I don't think he's trying to scam people so much as he is trying to get people to notice his (fair) price as well as save a bit on the Ebay commission.

 

[Buttmunch]

I am really considering it now

I even went through the pages and sure enough just before the 'commit to buy' page it shows $100 + $400 shipping for a total of $500 for two sets. Could be a steal. But I just have a feeling the seller will come up with some excuse to get out of it. What to do, what to do.

 

[Buttmunch]

Oh, it just ended. I'd really like to see how it turns out. It says 2 were sold.

Which one of you bought it?

Dibs on the second set if this ends up working!

 

[The Batman Professor]

He's got a stellar feedback rating of 14, so trust is assured.

 

[Geil]

You snooze you loose
OK just to clarify it wasn't me

 

[Buttmunch]

He's got a stellar feedback rating of 14, so trust is assured.

But it is ALL as a buyer, not a seller.

actually, you'd be surprised. i've seen soooo many people fooled into buying an empty box thinking it's a sealed mint figure... despite the very explicit description

 

[The Batman Professor]

Yeah, I saw that a number of times with gaming systems (Wii, Playstation,) and you laugh at people's inability to read a simple paragraph, but I also become angry at other folk's predatory nature.

I mean, what jerk sells an empty box for a hot new item, that isn't laying a trap for the gullible and unwary?

 

[Seditionary]

man..that's some ____ for one item...but a set for 250 is awesome. I totally would have done that.

Was me, sorry. I wanted to get to bed and didn't know how quickly you'd respond, so I just went ahead and bought it.

But you're right, he's trying to weasel his way out of it, the lousy prick.

Those of us who got hosed by crappy eBay sellers over this set should start a club.

Who got hosed... and by whom...?

 

[karamazov80]

There was discussion a few pages back. Some seller had 2 for $300 plus $50 shipping. I and another member bought them, only to be told that the seller "ran out of stock"

No doubt as soon as he realized how much he under-valued them for eBay's market.



I wanted to make him eat the fees, but if I didn't agree to mutually cancel the transaction, eBay would have given me a non-paying bidder strike. So, the bastard got off clean from my end.

 

[jstep13]

How would you have gotten a NPS for not paying for something thats not in stock? Are you saying Ebay expects you to pay for something that the seller said is no longer in stock?

You should've made him eat the fees and neg'd his azz...

So eBay is allowed to give you infractions for something thats not your fault?
