is it just me?

[Sundance]

or does anyone else get pissed off when people on ebay are flogging AF/Joe stuff and completely misidentify stuff or even just say i dunno what it is'?

i mean, there's a guy flogging off 2x 1 x 1 x and 1 x m&a and he's ID'd them as 'space troopers?'

another lot is listed as 'Q-Force divers' yet besides and he's also got 2 x and and in it.

and that's without the pillock who thought a Transformers Micromaster Transport was either AF or MASK!

it doesn't so much annoy me but it does happen a lot, some fella the other day had a carded mutton up for sale, what does chaff my ass however is losing on a bid with 4 seconds to go! Happened earlier,

I actually like it when stuff is misidentified, it's the best way to get a bargain. The ideal one is typos in the title, because then you have a good chance of most folk with auto-notifications completely missing it.

However, I am sympathetic so whenever I see someone who has a, for example, complete Z Force Minesweeper going for 99p I always drop them a PM to say "Actually mate, that's worth a small fortune!" I especially do that for the UK repaint Joes. I'm all for bargains, but I don't like seeing people getting fleeced.

got you too, eh Eddie? It's the only way to ebay IMO, everything else just ups the price.

you win some you lose some baron, did get a good win though, it's just you get so dam close,

Sometimes they do it on purpose, just so a search is more likely to find their auction.

I'm with the Baron. If they call it a Space Trooper and its really a SW Force prototype thin its a winner as long as you have you're searches set up right. What chaffs my shorts is when idiots call Joes after 1990 AF. Just stuffs my searches right up.

[Sundance]

a lot on ebay UK is listed as GI Joe/Action Force

including The Corps! stuff.

that's another one that winds me up, stupid pricks who say things are 'possibly' GI Joe, but have 'Lanard' on them! THEN IT'S NOT JOE IS IT, YOU MORONS!!!!

[gung-hoeddie]

i don't like the lanard stuff either, i've got loads of the bloody figures, there is a lot somewhere on the bay that said 12 action force vintage figures with zero bids, that was lanard they were all multiples of the same few figures, but i do think that once you know what your looking for and at it really doesn't matter what its listed under providing you've used the key words.

WOOHOO!!!!

I won an auction!!!!

YAY ME!!!

got a complete Super Trooper for £10.22 inc postage. i bid £3-odd at 9 minutes, max bid £10 and up until 2 seconds, it was £4.17 then i won at £8.02.

after losing 4 on the trot, not counting the 'buy it now' i did, i was thinking i as cursed.

next up is a Skeletron and a complete Destro...

[The Kraken Wakes]

I have a complete Destro for sale if you are interested?
