I stumbled across this on ebay...

a vintage boba fett with an unpainted shoulder pad !

does that really make him worth a thousand pounds ?

what a load of sh*t !

I think I might offer him a fiver and see if he replies !!

Its getting to the stage with some of these AFA graded figures that they are selling for more than carded ones !!

Ive been checking out some AFA graded loose figures and In theory you could buy a carded figure for 50 quid, take him off the card and get an uncirculated AFA grade and sell him for double the price !

I fully agree with you. This is nonsense.

But then again, nobody is pointing a gun at your head forcing you to buy, now are they? Every seller has the right to ask the price he wants. Don't like the price? Just walk away. And if we all walk away, seller gets stuck with his goods.

the unfortunate fact of the matter is someone with more money than sense may well purchase it.
wish I had more money than sense

[Andy1672]

For reasons unknown, this figure has been relisted.

Instead of "buy it now" for £995.99 it has been reduced to an auction starting at 99p !

so far he has reached £11

[Golden Puma]

that's some drop in price, If he thinks it was worth near to that and hasn't set a reserve he could be in for a surprise

[Double-Tap]

this is just insane.
i can understand paying money for varients but Boba missing some paint for a grand is crazy.
i wouldnt evev pay the £11 its going for now

With some super fine wet&dry paper you could easily replicate this figure anyway.

This one finishes tommorow, wonder if he will reach the £995 mark ?

Currently running about £930 light? All those last minute snipes will no doubt tip it over the grand mark I'd expect???

[SINGABEER]

lol....yes he certainly is trying...nearly a £1000...hmm, i have the unpainted knee version.....which fetches between £40-£80, might be able to double that if goes to afa, the only other boba fett which is rare is the mail away firing boba fett, your talking thousands as so few are around.....
