ewilen Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 Could be, but this one was actually described reasonably well by the seller. It's true that, even though they put it in the "macross" category, they didn't use "macross" or "takatoku" in the description. Some comparisons: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5906356047&rd=1 Takatoku 1/100 CF, looks unbroken, no box, shipping from Italy...didn't sell at $30 starting bid. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5907098033&rd=1 Bandai 1/100 1A, box is from Takatoku 1J and rather beat up, but toy looks okay...didn't sell at $55.90 shipped http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...bayphotohosting Bandai 1/100 1A, completely mint, sold for $61 plus shipping from California Overall, I think the market for these has cooled off, especially if loose/broken.

Jolly Rogers Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Instead of complaining about low BIN prices, people need to check eBay more often so they don't miss out on these deals. They also have an option for you to receive e-mail notification when something you're looking for is listed. If you can't think of what to put down on your wishlist, chances are you don't need it anyways, regardless of the price level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was part of the problem - they didn't use Macross or Takatoku. Someone here was selling a Milia VF-1J (bandai) and a GBP and didn't use Macross or Robotech or some other stuff to describe it and the VF-1J sold for like $45 and the GBP went for $100 (reserve wasn't met though). But for a loose one, people won't pay more than $25 or $30 (shipped), but if it has a box it goes for more. And that second one is a bootleg.

ewilen Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 Not the seller's fault, as far as I can tell. Right category, has macross, bandai, super, valkyrie in both the title and description. Sorry about your getting beaten, Pat. But unless I'm missing something, this may be an indication that interest in this item is waning--so there may be more deals available in the future.

soze Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Awww man, why didn't I keep up with this one? I got outbidded by 5 bucks!!! Ebay auction I saw that one! Does the eye visor look funny to you guys? It looks a little wide and circular to me. You're not imagining things. My friend has that version. It's authentic, but there are differences. The eye visor is rounded.... and it's a green sticker instead of painted on. The head is also a little more round if I recall correctly.

Jolly Rogers Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I have it, it's an early 1990s issue with a new head sculpt which most people hated, so for the recent reissue Bandai went back to the original Taka head sculpt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jipe Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Why did it go so cheap? Because I bought 2 weeks ago another one twice this price ...... If I knew.....

BoBe-Patt Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 well, I guess because it's missing the poster, and filmstrip. But eventhough, that's a really cheap price. I would bought an extra one just to have out to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
