Just got a tracking number too :joy Just have a feeling it won't ship until later this week :monkey2 But i can't wait to get him. There's a dusty spot between Captain America and The Hulk just waiting for Thor :D
 
I just got my tracking info for the Thor Ex.. Can't wait to see it in person. I guess Thor was the first Marvel character to make an impression on me when I was a boy. But then again, back then, it wasn't like Marvel had the same status and fame in Europe like it had in the US, so perhaps I missed a hero or two, three that I might have liked at the time.
Like I said a while back, I just knew my WL would convert. No need to panic back then. But, when SSC says that they are out of replacements, even BEFORE all ex. are shipped... hmm... .
Some called it the day the ES for the ex. was announced: this would become a grail. Well, let's hope so, although I'm still not convinced. Why? I just can't imagine to put down $1000 + for a polystone figure anymore. I'm not saying that these figures aren't worth the price, but, honestly, are you willing to pay $1355 for the exclusive Doom? $1000 for the Grey Hulk? $1400 for the negative zone Spidey? $1640 for the Grey Hulk vs Spidey dio? $1645 for the first Sentinel VS dio?

Prices according to www.toytracker.net.

That's just called how bad do u want it! :lol

yup... I really wouldn't be suprised to see a grey hulk dio fetch well over 2k on the bay. I've heard of a few being sold upwards of that just within the last 6 months. After making the mistake of parting with my first one, it'll take a helluva lot more than 1650 for me to even consider parting with mine.

did some one say grey hulk/spidey for $1650:horror i'll take it.:D

just like everything else, collecting will have it's ups and downs, and if someones selling a grey hulk spidey for $1650, well that's definately on the down side imo.
with more and more people finding this hobby, and sideshow getting their name out there more, such as with all these dvd giftbox sets (that's how i got into this hobby, thanks lotr:lol) the next high will almost certainly set new records in this hobby. it may take 2,3-5 years but just wait.
like your house that's taken a 50% hit in the last couple years, in 10 years it'll be worth more than double of what it was 2 years ago.

ps. so you did manage to wrangle another one out of the woodwork, jake
good job.
 
worst, you never stated how he was shipping the item. What service did he use (or is going to use)? The item is too big to go USPS (max length plus girth is 108 inches to the UK). That leaves Fedex and UPS and their rates are double what you stated.

I'd love to know how he said he was going to ship.

Well that's a very good point. I checked out the USPS website, but didnt check the max dimensions for an overseas parcel shipment.

The seller did say it was $137 + $8 for USPS (Priority International) which takes about 6 to 10 days.

But he still hasn't shipped! I fear you have roused the conspiracy theorist deep within :banghead:horror

Ebay is getting worse. So I feel for you there! I had to go after someone this week for $300 for selling me an item THEY DIDN'T EVEN OWN! :banghead

They kept saying: "Oh we're getting ready to ship, we're getting ready, etc. etc." They never even had the piece to ship! Luckily, I got my money back.

Man, I guess tonight is my night to rant!
Then another character on Ebay agrees to sell me a piece for a set amount. We were in negotiations and he finally agreed to lower the BIN. Then next thing I know, HE RAISES THE BIN! He says he has too many watchers, yet he doesn't even have a bid (and the auction is almost over.) :lol :banghead I love watching these sellers "work their magic." My favorite part is going to be when he emails me after the auction and wants me to buy it because no one gave him a better offer.

As everyone says, it keeps getting worse and worse. :duh Good luck though. I hope it works out for you.
 
yeah, unfortunately until they get an actaul bid on the item, they can change anything on the listing they want, but once it has a 99 cent bid then they can't change the pricing at that point.

Yeah, I was going to bid on it for the minimum bid but if I used the BIN along with the Live.com discount I would have saved more in the long run than just winning it outright, but if the seller wants to play games then I'll pass and watch him relist it a few more times. :lol

As a seller, I HATE buyers who try to wheel and deal you for a lower price. If you want to know my price, it's right there and it's called BUY IT NOW. people should stop being such a cheap ass and use it.

I see nothing wrong with a seller raising his price. It was your fault you didnt buy it when it was lower.

sure they can. just cancel the auction and relist it. It costs like 35 cents. :lol

Then the seller has no business giving me his word. And if that was the case, then he doesn't need to fuel the fire by "wheeling and dealing" along with me in the first place.

I personally dislike greedy sellers like this... People have been using this BIN auction , which is REALLY beneficial for BOTH parties! So why is a seller going to try and JACK up the BIN price when they're already getting a decent price. When I first came on the boards here I was accused of being greedy for trying to sell a Spidey PF ex for a premium price. I was only sellin a bit high because I liked it so much... I eventually held on to the piece. But the more I deal with people here, the more greedy they seem to be. Only a small few people here actually seem concerned to help another fellow freak out. Those are true freaks IMO. Not these money hungry butt munchers...... I can understand if you wanna jack the price up on any ol' schmoe. But on a fellow freak??? C'mooooon..... :tap

You hit it right on the head Chris. And you're right it IS getting worse. That's why I don't understand how someone can say they agree with the seller's point of view when they pull something like this?????:confused: Especially when (in my case) we had a written agreement (via email) to close the deal at a set price. But then you RAISE the price? No..........and the only people who try to justify and say its OK to go back on their word are the seller's themselves trying to make an extra buck, on top of the good chuck of change they're ALREADY making. (And this is my opinion but I think many of you will agree when you look at the circumstances.)

And I actually thought the price on your Spidey Ex was VERY REASONABLE Chris. (Hence why I wanted it!!!! :naughty) And I hope you do keep Spidey in the long run so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands of these people. :rock :rock :rock
 
there are some people on these types of boards that do feel it is a community, but unfortunately there is also some that feel it's just another avenue to sell product on (another ebay, just without fees). good or bad, time will tell.
 
Your all my friends I don't care what Chris might say about u guys :lol

Not right now but sometime in the near future Spidey can have a grand ole time at my place!!! :rock
