Diabolos80 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 http://www.ebay.com/itm/9-Lego-Star-Wars-Sets-incl-Imperial-Shuttle-70-Mini-figures-Plus-4-Books-/221268621718?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item3384a33996 So what do you guys think? I had to act fast, but after re-reading the description I feel confident about this purchase. Seller says no guarantee the sets are complete, but hopefully I won't have to do too much brick hunting on BrickLink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think it looks pretty good, D. The first two (10212 and 10198) put you in the black by about $100 (assuming figs and instructions are there), and the rest is pure gravy. Nice haul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysbricks Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Haha you bought this within 14 minutes after it posted. He was probably like "oh crap I just lost some money". Nice find! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 This is the same guy and same lot FCBarcelona got. Something is fishy here. He used the same pictures. FCbarcelona - did you ever get your lots? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxgc53 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yup, I saw that just as it was posted and knew that fcbarcelona already bought it and left positive feedback meaning he received them Scam?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysbricks Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Did fcbarcelona flip them? I dont remember seeing what he bought or for how much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Did fcbarcelona flip them? I dont remember seeing what he bought or for how much. Only one different is it had a Blockade Runner. If he got them, I guess it is not a scam, but if this guy has 2 of all these, there is no way he doesn't know what they are and how much they are worth. Just doesn't sit right with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysbricks Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yep something is wrong, he just bought them...I dont think he even received them yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just saw this. I never received the items because we agreed to cancel the transaction. Once I had paid he told me he had made a mistake by listing the Blockade Runner ,and I was ok with that. Later however, I kept asking for more details and I noticed that both the IS and 10198 were missing most of their respective minifigures and some of the sets as well. I considered keeping them but really decided against it because of college starting soon and not having the time to complete the sets and all that process. I gave him positive feedback because he really was patient with me and overall easy to deal with. I gave him some tips, like including the fact the minfigs seemed to be missing from the sets, disassembling the sets for shipping and some others that I see he did in fact added to the listing. Great that someone here got the deal for the 2nd time lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a good listing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the exact same lot I just bought. Sold on the 11th, Barca left feedback on the 13th. I can't imagine why he would post feedback before he got his stuff. Maybe the transaction was cancelled at his request? Maybe we're both being scammed? Barca, I never wanted to talk to a guy about Lego so bad.

Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Definitely still a great deal. The deal breaker for me was the Blockade Runner, as getting that one would have made the time spent well worth it. I wanted it for my personal collection...someday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a shuttle already, so I can complete and sell it and most of the lot to earn a free 10198. I'll be keeping the clones and the books, too EDIT: free +1s for everyone from here up. This is why we're here. EDIT REDUX: I ran out of +1s. Lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshTX Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Ha ha I still marvel at how you guys pull stuff from ebay so quickly. So I'm guessing you just do a search on Lego for "newly listed" then just keep refreshing the page all day until something cool shows up? Ha ha that's awesome, if only I had the time.

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Did he back out of the sale again? http://www.ebay.com/itm/9-Lego-Star-Wars-Sets-incl-Imperial-Shuttle-70-Mini-figures-Plus-4-Books-/221270501353?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item3384bfe7e9 its back up - Auction now.

I am not sure, but it is still a good deal. I wonder how many people are going to bid on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Unfortunately yes, I asked the seller to cancel the transaction. I won't get into the reasons, but there were no hard feelings. Still a great deal for anyone looking to steal a shuttle and a tantive. Although now he's listed as an auction this lot might go well above his previous $350 BIN price.

Man I wish he had listed it BIN - I would have definitely grabbed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope it does hit $500. The poor guy has had 2 buyers cancel on him, and really $350 was too good a bargain anyway. At $500 a buyer would still be getting a very good deal.
