Check out this crazy SOB

Wow! I want one, but I don't want one that bad. Aren't these like half that price on HLJ?

Actually, it's 3 times the current price at ebay.

Most people sell it for $100 with ~$30-$40 shipping.

I bought 2 from HLJ and the total including shipping was $160.

however, HLJ no longer sell them.

it is a shame that the high bidder has only 0 feedback, there has been a lot of deadbeat zero feedback bidders lately for auctions like this.

well...i missed out on the 1/48 Low Viz launch...and just couldn't find the money...and as the months turned into a year and so on, the price for this limited print just kept going up.

now each time i bid on ebay, some member with a (1) or (0) feedbacks outbids the rest of us.

so now i was able to find this auction on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=6017557468

it's currently at $250 with stickers applied on it.

do you guys think the product is worth the price?

there are two other auctions, one from Canada at $250 with 4 days left and one from japan at $420+shipping.

now i'm having second thoughts because with $270 i don't have (will be charged on credit card) ... i could use that to purchase the remaining Binaltechs i want to complete the set BT-01 through BT10.

damn, if only Godzilla will sell a mint box for $200 ... and I can do a commissioned artwork for him ... heh heh.

I paid $250 for mine six months ago (LV). Now if your choice is between a future minty one for $300 or a stickered one for $275 I would just wait for the minty one. Now, if you think the price will shoot to $400 for MIB ones in the future (which I doubt) then maybe you should get it before the big price sky-rocket.

Macross73, Yep, I remember you outbidding me on that one VF-1A Low Viz ... :) I could not bid again because my boss had me running around the office.

I wrote the seller and asked for more photos and also for any strained joints,

especially Part BP-8.

I'm now considering for a minty one if there's a $15-$30 difference. I hope the seller will not mind if I retract my bid.

Ghostryder, the photo looks like it's been photo-chopped ... 1/48 Battloid with a 1/60 Box and a mislabeling with 1/55 scale. I'd say skip it.

I will assume he was doing a search on the word "Takatoku" and not "Erotic Vinyl"..

all i can say is ..... Zar - Who?

I had a premonition that something would be amiss when the Ebay search results for "Macross" turned up 666 results. Forget the Takas and Bandais, MOC Converters are where it's at now  :rolleyes:

The crappy part is, this is an item I want, but not at that insane price. My first Macross toy was one of these Convertors, and sadly, it got lost, long ago. :(

looks very cool but the seller would have to lower the piece by 5990 for me to get it.

the wonderful world of the x-box 360 and x-mas :blink: . So many really funny auctions at absurd prices.

I love how almost all have 0 feedback winners. My favorite simply has to be this one though :lol:

is this systematically pretending something isn't a re-issue by selling it without the box?

I guess the 1/48 1A Hikkie is getting as rare as a Low Vis

Ebay

What the hell is he talking about, 6 interchangable hands? Unless he threw in a quartet of TV hands.

355572[/snapback]

The description matches a 1/60 description

355573[/snapback]

For what it's worth. Just before Christmas I bough a VE-1 and a VT-1 from the seller of this auction for right around $70 each. I had no problems or anything with this guy. Just my opinion. I have noticed prices of 1/48's fluctuate greatly. DOn't really know why though.
