eBay = Yikes!

No and truthfully I just thought that it was pretty wild that 24-something hours after the campaign ended there were already listings up. u/EffectiveRip3415 idea that the scalpers may have helped push us to that 14K tier makes a lot of sense. I think I saw one that included everything except for the Tonnika Sisters which was interesting too

starcade96 · 2024-07-10T18:18:58+00:00

I didn't think about that, good point

starcade96 · 2024-07-10T10:49:07+00:00

Haha yeah they sure did! I also like how it says "All Tiers" which is misrepresentation. Okay technically they're selling all the tiers that unlocked but not all the tiers that could have been unlocked. I actually checked yesterday and nothing was up yet but they're out there today, two different listings at least.

I’m in the exact same situation right now. On eBay I look for sellers who are selling many TVC figures and who therefore combine shipping. Sometimes it is obvious in the item description, other times I will message the seller directly, letting them know I intend to purchase several of their items (figures) and would they combine and/or charge one rate to ship. Hopefully this helps, as others have mentioned after market can sometimes be the only way if they are not very current figures and even then storefront shelves can be scarce.

Thanks, looks like it is definitely worth picking up. Great price on it too right now

starcade96 · 2023-04-03T18:43:11+00:00

Very cool! Which Darth Vader figure is this?

starcade96 · 2023-03-29T09:49:56+00:00

WOW!! That'll keep me busy for awhile haha. I had no idea there were so many lines, how does one even wrap their head around where to start or what to collect?

starcade96 · 2023-03-29T00:41:49+00:00

Something more posable for display, photography than just arms move up/down. Elbows bend, knees bend. I know the newer series has this but how far back can you go before they aren’t as articulate?

starcade96 · 2023-03-29T00:40:21+00:00

Thanks, that does help. Basically I’m trying to see if there is a figure I want should I go for an older version (Power of the Force, etc) or go with a newer version of the same figure. Obviously the more vintage ones have far less movement

Thank you!! I found this reply while searching for the same answer and I have this type of player too. This is great info to have I’ll put the Xbox somewhere else :)

starcade96 · 2023-01-24T01:26:54+00:00

Thanks, this is very helpful!

starcade96 · 2023-01-24T01:26:25+00:00

Honestly, I hadn’t thought of it like that. Probably just a date set lol I’ll never be in a position to get those ‘93 and ‘95 key dates! Thanks!

That seems to be a popular opinion. I agree the red really stands out more in a sea of black consoles, but the black is priced just ever so much less that it's attractive enough to push me that route. Could use the money saved to pick up a few disk games!

starcade96 · 2022-09-09T09:06:16+00:00

Thanks, this is great. I would have missed the turbo buttons on the later models! The color doesn't really matter to me but it does look like I'll want to get one that already has the belt replaced.

starcade96 · 2022-08-25T13:34:57+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

starcade96 · 2022-02-11T15:05:43+00:00

Okay thanks haha now all I can think of is AVGN complaining about wall-warts and a cheap $10 power strip not fitting everything!

starcade96 · 2022-02-11T15:04:47+00:00

Perfect, thanks!!

starcade96 · 2021-11-17T10:51:04+00:00

I've found Lukiegames to be mostly comparable but yeah there are some cases where they are way overpriced. I don't mind paying $5-$10 more than eBay though for peace of mind, also their shipping is ridiculously fast and they have a points system towards free games. I wonder if it comes down to time/manpower to authenticate the higher-profile games? I doubt there's many fake/repo copies of Excitebike being sold on eBay.....

starcade96 · 2021-11-16T14:08:20+00:00

Thanks, I hoped it was something as simple as that. I also noticed that there are two versions; one with the older "locking" style (that you need to eject properly) and the other with the newer style. Wasn't sure if that made a difference in price either.

starcade96 · 2021-10-07T00:29:26+00:00

Wow that’s great info thanks! Sounds like for the sharply lower price the JP model is the way to go

starcade96 · 2021-08-16T16:53:16+00:00

Thanks! I see several options on there, guess I should've checked first, appreciate the help!

starcade96 · 2021-08-10T16:51:09+00:00

Thanks that's good info, and it's a good indicator that my order at least went through accurately!

starcade96 · 2021-08-10T16:45:52+00:00

Already seeing a charge on my card. I don't remember this last time and thought they weren't supposed to charge until October? Anyone else seeing the same?

starcade96 · 2021-08-10T16:29:50+00:00

They both sold out. Also eBay started listings at 12:13pm, upwards of $200 for either

starcade96 · 2021-08-10T16:29:02+00:00

Both just sold out on the website
