i think this thread should be re-named. We should post ebay finds that are still active that are a great deal, but not something you are interested in. They'll probably all be closed by the time we look at them, but oh wells :)

Problem with that is that if you start posting "cheap" live auctions before bidding has ended, they will no longer end cheap. BIN's sure, but start posting auctions and some people won't appreciate it.

Not to "mooch" off of the Statue Forums ideas, but they have an ongoing thread about awesome deals that sold on Ebay. I can't remember the title of the thread off the top of my head, but everytime a good deal ends, people post the link, and then members can comment, etc., etc.

But like Mesa was saying, posting links of live auctions will almost certainly ruin the "good deal." You have to take into consideration too that non-members can also view these threads as well. So once you post a live auction link, it's literally free advertising for the world.

If you're a seller, you can post your item in the "auction/for sale" thread (and by all means), but if you're not the seller, I personally don't want people posting live auction links because it may be a piece I'm extremely interested in. Or if you know of someone who's interested in some piece that you found on Ebay, then PM them. I remember a thread a while back when a member posted a link to a live auction with no reserve and pandamonium broke out, as a few members were already watching the auction and were upset because now the "world" knew about the auction.

To make a long story short, I feel post the link AFTER the auction ends, NOT BEFORE.

totally, and yes it has been proven with that auction that your're talking about, that posting on here does increase the final sales total (it was lotr Watcher in the Water).

myself i would of been pissed if someone listed the Green Goblin since i was the one that ended up with it.
like i said, not as good as deal as the sim or venom of course, but still about 1/2 price, and surely if it had been posted on here, then it would of sold for much more.

so please DON'T POST LIVE AUCTIONS, unless it is you own
 
Hi
Im new to the forums even though i used to lurk around it for some time till i decided to join ..anyway just wanted to salute everyone and had a question about the SIM....how much is it worth nowadays because for what i remember there used to be a time where price for it was over the $600..what is the currently paying price for this???...Is now a good time to try to get one...much appreciated...thanks
 
now or after the new year, when everyone's done the christmas shopping.
they have been on a steady decline over the last few months, but seem to be holding in the $450-$500 range right now.

if you can put up with a few scratches or chips (which is very common on these) you maybe able to get him even cheaper.
 
Thanks so much for the heads up QUAD..will be certainly keeping an eye out then. Regarding chips I guess if its not too noticeable i wouldnt care much for them
 
I've read in many places that SIM comiquettets knock offs have been sold, how do you distinguish good from fake.
I found this one and thought of no better place to ask for an expertise advice on this...so what do you think guys...it looks pretty good or isnt it??

Stealth iron man comiquette

Opinions are much appreciated..thanks
 
i think your ok on this one, firstly i don't believe that there are any steatlh knock offs on the market YET. other than that, the painted cracks on the base look proper, and the raised arm elevation also looks correct.

unless someone else on here can pin point something i'm missing then you should be ready to go and bid away.

I agree with Doug. Looks okay with me.

Now that you published the live auction, don't expect it to get it for a bargain with all the added competition. :duh:duh
