    I'm currently doing an Alt. Diaclone Bluestreak. When I painted him the wrong shade of blue, I used a brand of Paint stripper called Scalecoat 2 paint remover. I've been using it for 10 years and it's never screwed up any plastic parts. Paint thinner will melt plastic especially when you let it sit on the plastic.

    he's probably going to change them all soon, ebay had the 10 cent listing fee yesterday, so he just listed a bunch of stuff he knows no one is going to bid on so he can hold the spots and revise them when he gets around to selling his other stuff.

    i just wish ebay would have a 10 cent listing, bin, reserve, everything fee someday.

    also, i figured out why Xboxes and PS2s were going for so high on ebay, none of the stinking stores have them in. someone told me a boatload of new slim-PS2s got stopped or delayed or something.

    also, here, new xbox, $150, Halo 2, $50, used games, whatever. skin $20, so this guy paid close to $400 because the guy said the skin was limited whatever, costs $70, etc. outrageous

    and it's not even a pic of the seller's item, it's a pic from the skin seller (the skin seller sent me the same pic)

    here's my son's, $150 + $20 or so.

    It's a nice looking skin, I give you that. If I had an XBox, I'd strongly consider getting something like that.

    How is this for absurd?.... :huh:  :blink:  :o

    Low Vis eBay auction

    Who is this guy trying to kid? :rolleyes:

    I guess some people just do not read the auction detail or they are just too excited with what appears to be an odd auctions and post it on MW to get attention.

    Whatever the reason, it might be helpful to carefully review the whole auction prior to posting on the public forum.

    The item has now been posted. Still overpriced. I'm interested to see how many the guy sells though.

    Here's something I can't explain.

    The part that I love is that the same yo-yo won all 3 and paid almost $700.00.  I could get an MISB giftset for $150.00, $200.00 max.

    Well the seller is laughing all the way to the bank and I can't blame him.

    Check out the feedback that guy has left for others - he bids a ton but doesn't buy the item!

    I hate those bidders. I'm amazed with all those back-outs that his rating isn't trashed. Some one does that to me and I post negative feedback and bitch to Ebay. I recently helped a friend of mine do a bid retraction because he screwed up an auction he was bidding on. Thanks to my help, the buyer and seller got what they wanted and lived happily ever after.

    Okay now this is ridiculous.

    Same seller, same yo-yo buyer. The score is now for constructicons for $900.00. I can only imagine how much money this goof has to spend that much on so little.

    The ALPS 5000 is the one that lot of people use. They go from $350.00 to $650.00. They print every color under the sun as well as some foils. But the ribbons for them are hard to find. There are color lasers out there for around $600.00 that could work for you as well.

    yes, can we add our own?

    and is there a source out there that tells us what happened in the years after

    the novel END GAME and the beginning of the Dark Age novels?

    Not yet. I am sure that there will be one eventually.

    Also, who here likes Dark Ages? I'm not real sold on it yet. I was hoping for a more desolute future and had the novels slowly rebuild the Inner Sphere then the very improbable set that we got. Also as much as I like Mike Stackpole's writing, did we need to see Victor Steiner-Davion again. Stackpole has a hard-on for that character like you wouldn't beleive. That just really bugs me.
