Jipay Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 This guy made an incredible model... he is quite famous in the french community... Now he is selling his jabba's sail barje. Here is the ebay link for the auction link So now here is my question : the actual bid is 421 $ !!!!! And it's written reserve not met !!!! Is this guy crazy ? I mean it's a home made set and he is selling it for more than an ISD. At 421$ reserve not met for a home made is just blowing my mind !! I just hope lego to release one soon so such stupid bids will never happen again (this is my opinion) What do you think of this ? Quote
Jipay Posted April 22, 2004 Author Posted April 22, 2004 On e-bay you can choose a secret price as the seller. If no auction reach the reserve price, then the auction is cancelled. It means that this guy wants more than 412$ otherwise he won't semm the model (n) Quote
ApophisV Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 huh, at ebay.de this function isn't available... B) though its a bit annoying if you sell something for a very low price... Quote
jonfett Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 It is a pretty amazing custom though. I can see it going for over $500, so far it has attracted 31 bids and there is still 3 days left! Jon. Quote
Jipay Posted May 6, 2004 Author Posted May 6, 2004 A stupid guy won for 1500$ !!!! How can people be crazy at the point of paying 1500$ for a lego home-made model ! 1500$ is 4.3 isd or an occasion car This thief will next sell his home made UCS tie bomber. 1500$... *is going to make an heart attack" Quote
DoubleT Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 1500$ ?? Man some people are too mad. I would be an AT-AT Falcon Cloud City, but not something for 1500$ <_< Quote
Jipay Posted May 6, 2004 Author Posted May 6, 2004 Well you can buy 10 AT -AT or 10 falcons or 5 of each ! I'm sure you can create something much much bigger with all those set :mellow: Quote
jonfett Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Yes, I agree. $1500 is incredibly stupid to me! I was only 1/3 right about the price as I said $500. I am sure for about $500 or under you could make a sail barge as good or better than that one. And I would sure prefer 10 falcons/AT-AT than the 400+ or so bricks in that custom. (n) Jon. Quote
Jipay Posted May 7, 2004 Author Posted May 7, 2004 Same for me dude ^^ I always wanted a second AT-AT But I first need this falcon (: / I'm quite proud of myself : I still resist, and I hope to find it soon for 125 Quote
DoubleT Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Dont think its out in stores before August, but I hope for you that you get it soon :) Quote
ApophisV Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 i'm more angry about those guys, who sell replicas of gareth's probe droid on ebay!!!! they get more than 100 Euro for this small thing!!! finally, baronsat sold his own creation, so he should get money (okay, not 1500$...), not this other silly idea-thiefs selling probe droids!!! Quote
jonfett Posted May 8, 2004 Posted May 8, 2004 i'm more angry about those guys, who sell replicas of gareth's probe droid on ebay!!!! they get more than 100 Euro for this small thing!!! Well, I can't see them making much of a profit. The parts to make it alone would cost them about Quote
jonfett Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Yes, so am I. They look great next to each other. Dominating the shelf! :D But 2 of each would be great! Jon. Quote
jonfett Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 Well maybe just a little. A death star in scale with the ISD? That is not a dream, remember 10131? ;) :P Jon. Quote
ApophisV Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 please stop speculating about 10131 everywhere else than in the 10131 threads!!! :P Quote
jonfett Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 I forgot what this thread was about... and all the others too!! Strict rules... who needs them??? Jon. Quote
ApophisV Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 sorry, i hadn't wanted you to stop beeing off-topic... (i gave it up a few days ago, to try to stop you all going offtopic!! :P ) i only can't hear that diabolic number 10131.... it gets on my nerves... Quote
jonfett Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Hmmm... you are watching me closely then to see if I slip up. And as for "the set" we should try not to refer to it and if we do have to then we should call it "the set. Jon. Quote
DoubleT Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 that diabolic number 10131.... it gets on my nerves... Im sarting not to care about it.... Quote
jonfett Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 So are most people. "The set" has been talked about for months but still we know no more. :( Jon. Quote
