Bit the Bullet

Post by humby248 »

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0345125553
After bagging this lot a few weeks ago I have decided to definetley stick to Series 2 only. I did put my cobra stuff on ebay before but the sale fell through and I decided to hang on to it. However I am still pursuing a few Palitoy bits so decided toi limit myself. I have relisted my entire Cobra collection. I starting the bidding at £50, does that seem fair?

i think it should go for more than £50 but i think the starting bid is too high.
i know its a risk but i would start the bid at 99p and get a bit of a bidding war started then wait for a few snipes at the end.
personally anything with a high start price or postage puts me off straight away.

i would break it up as well. most of the figs are £10+ each

lovely collection, its a shame you're gettin rid. been sortin through some of my early cobras and i forgot how cool they are.

you could probably get £20 quid plus just on the Firefly...

you should definitely break it up.

£50 start was more than fair. Either a high start or split them up as SD said. You run a big risk with the 99p starts. You could've ended up getting £15 -20 or something stupid. Its happened to me a couple of times.

is there not a bid on it already?
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

i think this might do well together tbh. it already has another bid i think and unlike some mixed auctions it doesnt have a few good bits with a few stinkers, its all good desirable stuff

Depends on condition really. Assuming the stinger is complete with steering wheel and unbroken parts and the fang has an inbroken roll cage id say £70-£100 if you sold seperately.

It really depends on the day with ebay as some things lately are going for surprising prices but then others sneak through quite cheaply.
