And that is against ebay rules, and is a scam by luring in buyers with low prices, then raping them on shipping :rolleyes: |
yep!
and everyone is doing and it's more rampant now than when I was doing on eBay... :( |

Its not like they charge you alot,e ither. I started an auction with a baseprice of...200 dollars I think. no reserve local pick up only. And only got charged like...5 dollars I think to list it? and you even get the money back if the item dosn't sell! |
well don't know about your eBay but eBay AUS didn't refund and it's rather expensive and they even at one stage closed my account over 50 cent. I couldn't even bank transfer that amount nor they will accept 50 cent coin in the envelope. :(
In any case I'm now off eBay for good. I had too much of hassle dealing with overseas buyers asking to ship overseas even though auctions for local only.. :( |
Getting back to the topic of models. ^^;
I recently discovered this gem of a site KXXXXA to MxxxO, Some of their works (particularly their GS and GSD models) are inspired and show levels of detail that betray the scale of the kits. |
Isn't this the place with the Justice that we've seen before?
|
I don't think so...
I've never seen a Justice model that looked even remotely like this posted or linked to on this forum. |

Here's simple logical way to look at the total price of a item Item price + Shipping and handling = Total that you'll have to pay. ex $20+$10 =$30 Total (Fee from seller increase the price of the item listed) ex. $5 +$20 = $25 Total (Cuting corner on Fee so the saving can be push to both seller and buyer) Then theirs Sniping, which in all ways legal,, it's just shows that someone really wanted to win that certain auction. If you got sniped then it just shows that someone is willing to pay more for the item than you. Even if his ending Winning Bid is just $1 more then yours it's still his win because it's was higher than your maximum bid. If you can still go higher then it wouldn't be your maximum bids , right? Also when someout out bids you by $1 it doesn't mean that he just place a bid that's just $1 over yours,, he could have place a bid that's $100 over yours. but once his bid pass your maximum bid it'll stay there until some else is willing to pay more. Just read carefully before you bid:) the same as what you should do before signing any contract. |
Ok little update:

And yes, you should always be looking at total cost.. shipping + item cost. But one thing I've noticed on Ebay is that Gundam models are more expensive than you can get elsewhere. I would rather buy it from a store for a lower price rather than on Ebay.. why people bid so high is beyond me. Also there's the bootleg models on Ebay. Most of the time people sell authentic Bandai models, but there's some bootlegs that sneak in there. The last one I saw was a PG 1/60 Wing Zero Custom. The seller admitted that is was not made by Bandai, but the box looked almost exactly the same, so if you weren't careful you would've been easily fooled. |
one of funniest moment with eBay would be that Xbox box auction.
someone not reading the description carefully bid rather large sum of moment for the super minty and clean almost brand new cardboard box of xbox - i.e. empty packing box for LE xbox... |
what is that yellow white stuff that u got on the kamfer?

http://www.geocities.jp/kxm3002/DESTINY.htm - Its going for near $700 at Yahoo! Auctions. :twitch: |
The yellow stuff is actually Tamiya Epoxy putty Quick type. Very similar to miliput. I'm using it to build up some areas, and fill in huge holes that are prevalant in SD kits.

I only hope that MG Destiny (if ever released) will look as half as good as that model. |
