I think the headsculpt alone is going for nearly 50-60% of the figures value on Ebay. But just because something is listed at X amount on Ebay doesn't mean it's selling. Also, with buyers identities hidden often, there's no way to know if someone isn't trying to artificially inflate something.

Doesn't matter though because completed auctions tell the same story.
 
Why does it matter what it fetches after the fact? Buy it now and be done. It will go up I guarantee it. I remember the OC Batman being sold via Buy it Now for around $800 at one point. Not sure if they were selling at that price. The highest I remember bids going was the $450 mark. Wouldn't be surprised if they went for around $500...
 
Saddest thing In my 2 years of collecting... Sideshow Informs me NOW that the credit card company they use doesnt accept credit card payments from India... all this after SO LONG, now the only way I can get it is if I can make an international money order and make sure it reaches to them by the 10th of the next month... which is impossible as due to the festival banks and postal services will be closed in my state from 1st to 6th

Im really saddened to do this, but can any member help me out here? Ill buy it off you guys IF anyones getting two please help guys! :pray:

Any friend of yours who might let you use his CC for this transaction? Your PayPal account's linked with your bank account? Surprising about the CC thing. If I may ask, which CC did you use? I only know about Mastercard, VISA, and Amex. Hope they accept your PayPal payment.
 
I would lend you my CC info but unfortunately i'm ordering the fig using that card already so it'll be disallowed under the 1 per customer rule
 
now ankit has got me worried too, im from India too, and i faced this problem when i wanted to order the hot toys superman exclusive,,eventually i ordered a reg from csc, and when i talked with someone on this forum abt these prob abt sideshow not accepting cc from inida, one member from malaysia or singapore told me he had the same problem with them, and advised me to keep requesting sideshow to accept my CC . but i let the matter go cos i thought Csc would be the only place i would get my hot toys, but then came the news that only sideshow would be getting these exclusives , so i pleaded with them again, they send some forms and eventually accepted my cc, but ankits post has me worried again,

No point man, they told me straight that they hadnt noticed that my order was placed from India, now that they did. They said by their policy they will not accept credit card payments from India. this is ridiculous. Paypal has verified my CC everything is set, whats with this policy? Maybe its because my cousin and I use the cc to buy stuff for both of us... but inspite of being legit when you are kinda ignored on suspicion for 'fraudulent cc ativity', it hurts. :(

Thanks man, but I wouldnt use your CC info anyway, its too personal IMO and I wouldnt want to put anyones personal info to risk like that, my cousin and I share his CC info but thats between us, and it helps control and monitor our spendings... this is really unfortunate. I think Ill try to keep pleading with them... lets see what happens.

I dont wanna give in to scalpers :gah:

It does. I feel bad about that too. Its a matter of a few 'bad apples' maybe; but then it is us who have to bear the brunt. Can't help it :(

Does your girlfriend have a CC, or her father :wink1: Try your network bro, I'm sure you'll find someone :)

You dont understand dude they said INDIA = NO CREDIT CARD, ONLY MONEY ORDER. So no chance, my girlfriend, her father, mother, neighbour everyone is in the country :lol its a problem with the location. Not me specifically.

Or maybe its my luck with Batman figures :slap

that wont solve the problem, any cc from India is refused, thats what they told me at first long back when i tried to order reeves superman ex
 
well , if my order gets cancelled , this will be second setback for me in this week for me, missed out a good deal on an item because of selective blindness by a store in replying to me( probably because im from India could be the reason again)

I have found it quite difficult securing deals from members and stores just because Im from India. LOL most think its like some place where all communication will be lost. I agree the postal service is kinda slow and customs are corrupt. But most think like its some Nigerian Scam :horror

Sad sad sad... :(
 
They dont care if you are paypal verified or not, as SS dont accept paypal.

Just use money order. Thats what I did, no problem so far.

After 3-4 successful transaction, I think they have more faith in you/your credit card.

yes that is exactly what they told me, to do a couple of money order transactions and then they would approve my credit card, but having a ordeal trying to send money for a item around a year back when i still didnt have a cc, i knew it was going to be tough ride again, sending money from india is again a big hassle , trsut me,. even money exchanges dont send money unless ur a parent sending money to a student studying overseas or something,

i was certainly down when sideshow informed me of their policy when i tried to place an order for the hot toys superman , but after repeatedly having a chat with them on their live chat help, and explaining them the problem of trying to send money from india, they finally accepted and send me a verification form to fill out , which i promptly did, and got my cc verifiied.
i was happy it got sorted out before the exclusives were announced by sideshow and not having to pay scalper prices on ebay and going through the thrill of PPO day ! and had settled back waiting to get this figure in my hand
if they cancel my order for these exclusives reasoning the same factor again , i think ill be a little more than upset, im not going to contact and ask them, but will wait out and see if they cancel my order, if they do cancel, then .. ____ happens and life will go on for me as usual..:dunno
