Damm thats cool but I dont got room for it in my budget right now, nor do I have space for it.

[Da Talent]

107 bux seems absurd.

[Sonneilon]

I'll build my own, thank you very much! :P

[QUOTE=fireflyed]107 bux seems absurd.[/QUOTE]

where are you looking at? It gone for $13.50

[Trench-Viper]

[QUOTE=fireflyed]107 bux seems absurd.[/QUOTE]
I thought it got sold for 13.5 dollars and that shipping was free for Americans?
Were there some hidden charge I did not see?

[General Jones]

The item descriptions says that it sells for $107.

[Da Talent]

from the listing....

This is a bid to have a Abandon building made for 3-3/4” action figures. THE PRICE FOR THIS BUILDING IS $107.25 +S&H. The building is part of a bigger display set. Check my other items for sale on e-bay to see other parts of the set.

The set is cool but not 107 bucks cool

[vader9900]

He will get canned from ebay for doing what he does. He is trying to get around paying final value fees. If the buyer pushes it, he gets the dio for $13.50. This is a chicken-shit way of doing business. Not to mention that dio looks like a middle school class project. I have made many dioramas and sold them on ebay (at true auction) 2 of which went for over $500. I would not give the $13.50 winning bid for this one. But thats just me.

[Da Talent]

I agree Dave, the way he "tried" to sell this is just bullshit. It's shit like this that has made ebay the horror it is today. and yes I believe you made better in 10th grade :)

[Sonneilon]

See, the set builders are uniting! I'd build my own AND differently!!!

[Rambo]

Mmm... you're right. I didn't read the description. I have meet with shipping fees scalpers but this is new to me. Is there a way to alert eBay about this?

[vader9900]

If you look at this guys feedback, it looks like every item he sells is done this way. You can report any auction to ebay, at the bottom of every auction is report this item. He will get canned, a buyer will not read the description and turn him in. I am suprised it has not happened already. To the buyer beware.

[Rambo]

Done!
But his sets are good.

Haha Vader, you need too realize "good set" in G.I. Joe terms is different from any modeling hobby. It all goes back to a guy with "AMAZING DIOS" (that are never announced here :rolleyes: ) who's foamboard sets became the #1 influence.

[Trench-Viper]

So what you are saying is that the buyer payed 13 dollar to get the privlige of buying it for 107 dollar? If I had bid on it I would have had to pay 100+ dollar? :mad: And the set was okay, imo worth 13 dollar.

Exactly you pay $13.50 for the privilege of paying him to make one for you for $107.25.

Hahaha... Vader... a painted box will be a Good set for me.... ;)

Yours are out of contest.

Argh!!!!! I would refuse to pay!! :mad: :mad: Swindel!! TAR and FEAther!!

[ender098]

Did you guys see his whole display? Damn! That is Sweet. If you guys think that is junk, I'd LOVE see some of YOUR sets, because I'm impressed with that....I can't imagine how it coud get better.

I do agree that he is scamming with offering a bid on a comissioned work to get around the eBay fees.

Wow! no Shiznit! You DEFINITELY have to start posting some "How-To's". Those sets are Sweet. How big are they typically? Some of those look HUGE!

There's no Doubt Vader that you have the Skills of a Dio Jedi-Master,but his full City Set isn't bad at all.I'd be very happy with it,but i'd much rather build it myself instead of buying it.That way I could add my own little touches on it to make it mine,and it would definitely be much more Gratifying when showing it off knowing I built it.And I also agree with everyone here that he's going about selling these in a Shady way,I can't understand why e-Bay lets it go.But my guess is they do make $$ from him,and a little $$ is better than no $$$.

[Sonneilon]

See, from where I stand, you don't build sets like that. They are worthless. You build modular sets cuz honestly, unless you in a Jackie Chan flick, are you REALLY gone see a building cut apart like that? NO! You show level by level, floor by floor. It's no secret that when movie set builders make their sets, it's modular. You shoot an exterior for the outsides, then do interiors to show the guts. THAT building does both at the same time and it doesn't work from a fotographer's view. You can do MORE by making the room larger than it is AND manipulating the angles.

Course, if you have a war-torn area and have Space Marines shooting DOWN from 5th level to the ground leve when thugging Tyranids, THEN that set works. But for me, no. I've seen better. Far better. And that includes some of the Star Wars fan sets I've seen that make me sick!

And Frank, YOUR sewer set is sooooo much better than that building in ALL regards.

Thanks :o but I like to think of myself as a Jedi-Slayer, not Master. :D

So would that be considered a Dio Sith Master? :D
