Blood for the Baron!

i was preparing myself for a snipe effort at the 1987 star duster figure this evening, everything was in place, with seven seconds to go i went to confirm my bid and the computer froze!! My bid didn't go through and i lost it, i'm not happy.

I saw that one is that the going rate for one? Also I'm watching some other stuff from that seller so

i'm afraid so, as mail away figures go he's quite rare.

i've started buying from the states the figures you never see on uk ebay, i'm trying to work out the postage up to $10 seems fair enough but some charge around the $35 range, please enlighten me?

i believe that factors in insurance and some kinda speedy next-day-delivery thing.

i won't pay more than about $20 for a figure inc. shipping.

and don't forget, you'll probably get charged by the bank for the currency change...

i'm not to bothered about the bank charges i just don't see why it costs £25 approx to send 1 figure.

welll, i know when i was looking at a US seller of a Barbecue figure, with high postage, insurance was mentioned.

ah, this one's offering priority mail, express mail and first class international, plus insurance...

*shrugs*

Just a heads up,
I would be wary of buying anything from onetofivedayauctions as there is loads of threads in the Watch Out section on rebelscum warning peolple about that guy.
onetofivedayauctions

Don't buy off onetofivedayaunctions as he is a notorious scammer from the Star Wars world. I've brought loads off Ebay US over the years and sending loose figures shouldn't be more than $5, in fact the last lot I brought was for 3 figures and the P&P was only $4. The current bug bear is shipping on vehicles, there are a couple of vehicles I'd like, not huge by any means and all the sellers want $40-$50 on P&P I feel like they are ripping me off.

i'm choosing the sellers very carefully, i can't be doing with being ripped off, he sounds like an interesting chap this onetofivedayauctions, i shall avoid.
