too much dude. beating people over the head

600 tops.... talking about being greedy.
Sorry, i know the dude and he is awesome put that price is insane

So.. i guess I'm a scalper then right. last time i checked I gave some people some really good deals on TFans and tfw2005. but since I wont sell to a certain members and give them the shuffler for what i paid(because I wont do buisness with them anymore), I guess I'm a greedy bastard with a baseball bat. and I do have a best offer on it, so whatever, think what you want. first good offer that comes along and its gone.

No one said you were a scalper. Reading your description, you said you didnt actually want to sell it, but would for the right price. I can agree, as I have no desire to sell mine, but if someone gives me that much its out the door easily.

My concern is the ebay fee you are practically throwing away. Isnt it like $40? Thats kind of an expensive lottery dont you think.

thanks casey. most likely it wont sell at this price, but when it does sell, it will most likely be off of ebay.

i wouldn't call you a scalper unless you bought 20 of these at a time.

you look like an upscale collector who is thinning out the herd a little and know the market price for such a rare item...

i don't know when the item was originally offered but if it were 10+ years ago and you did buy 20 of them and are just now selling the you'd be an investor...

just added you as a favorite seller in case i see anything of interest that i can afford...

I sold one Buy-it-now for about $600 2.5 years ago. I wish I had tried to sell it for $700-$800, but I thought that was asking too much back then.

It would probably be worth $800 now. I can't see the Ebay price because I'm at work, but I assume it is close to $1000 based on the comments here.

1500

And actually, I stil dont think the market supports over 600 right now anyway. Ive seen a couple go for the 450 range.

like i said, 600 or 700 tops and that is alot!!

you mean yahoo right? because i havent seen one on ebay in a while, and usually i see them sold in whole sets. the last one i did see sold went for 500 and that was like two years ago. but it has been awhile. and ultra prime, i agree that 600-700 tops is around the price I am looking for. but I'll see what kinda offers i get.-but I still dont need to sell it and i dont need the cash-so thats going to keep those 450-500 deals from being made. and to tell you the truth, having had this little guy in my hand, i wouldnt pay over 100 for him, he's just not that impressive and I'm not a completist, i just like having the rarer of the tf toys. just like black zarak-major waste of money IMO.

I want it for only one reasona dn you know the reason.... to trade for something i desire

Wow!

Someone bought it!

Wow...

I'm speechless...

Well Powerglide me in the ass with an electric cheese grater...

must be a noob!

congrets on the sell D

daamnnnnn, nice damon.

let us know if he pays, looks like he will from his feedback.

lol, this whole time i never knew this was you. i remember seeing "the don mega" posting about all these nice auctions finds and buys.

HOLY Blot STICKS!!!!!!!! lend me $10!!!

Nice sell. I can't believe people are so crazy about this figure. I had one years ago (damn I should have kept it and sold it now), and its really nothing spectacular. Its not like it really looks good with any of the other headmaster bodies anyways. By the way that Minerva loooks soooo nice.

I cannot believe it either. guy is doing a payment plan, which is cool. i spent last night in the ER with chest pains, so i didnt see this till now.

Good luck!

An item is worth exactly what someone else wants to pay for it, I cant remember seeing another one of these up for sale.

i hope I didnt single handedly jack the price up on the little guy(I fear I may have on the usa ebay side), i just put a price down that i was dreaming about. besides the vsx, this guy is probably the hardest jap.exclusive to get, besides the dinos and the japanese boxed reflector. now i have to say this little guy is tops on the pound for pound list of the most expensive tf ever, move over mosc bumblejumper, but really it was bound to happen, i just didnt think it would happen with me. owell, his price tag was going towards a very hard to get lucky draw and i'm pretty stoked.

Meh, I really don't think so. I think it's just someone who got to eager to get him and was willing to pay anything.

I agree
Someone offer me it for a 1000 and i refuse to pay that much\\

Plus i know a few peolple with the VSX. They just not selling since its a grail for everyone.
One sold at bot con for 1500
C'mon D, i know you know about Transformers!!

well if he ever shows up on usa ebay for auction, we will see. usa ebay is way different then yahoo.

Like I said UC, that VSX sold for 1500 before the convention even started. So the deal was made already. The more I think about it, I'm not sure if it was MISB or just MIB. I know already hardcore collector paid the guy who brought the VSX a crazy amount of money just for the instruction sheet. You just have to have the right connections. And money...

Hope everything is OK with you D.

I can name about 6 people who has the VSX in the USA.
Everyone one of them want to take it to the grave with them.

You got to name someone who's will to sell. That's the key. Doesn't help to know who has one. It helps to know who's selling one.

i agree, it doesnt help to know someone who has one, it helps to know someone that has one and is looking to sell it. the shuffler was due for a pay raise anyway. and on japanese excl. you really cant put a price tag on them. it all matters on what your willing to pay, and what your willing not to accept. screw the market price, that doesnt matter anymore on the rare stuff. the saliva glands determine price now, even if you think you know about tfs, sooner or later someone is going to pay a handsome price for something really mint or really rare. take your pick.

shuffler has been the same price for a while, like I said-he's due for a pay raise.

Sad to say but some day I will have to sell my collection. It's not like it's going to go with me when I'm dead. If that's the case, I'll sell it at a price which I can retire with.

i agree simon.

same here... We all will sell one day.
To be Honest, i may sell when i get married....

Yeah, I would kill for one. I just want to be able to complete my Megatron collection someday. Of course, I'm also in desperate need of a Microman MC-12 Gray version.

So are you and UC mortal enemies?

I think his Prime army would walk all over my Megatron army in no time.

It is kind of funny, you get everybody (not really, but much more popular idea) collecting G1 Prime/Convoy, which I'll admit I do as well, no where near the level of UC or PC...but I'm happier with my Megatrons. I only have 2 vintage Primes, US and Japanese, but Megatrons, I have all but a couple releases.

On a random side note, where do you guys find some of these gems?

Oh
when i said i know a few people who has the VSX, i was making a point. They are out there.

the best spot for rare stuff is Yahoo Japan and dealing with sellers who has connections.

black gears, MOM and tempting toys and such.

Yeah, I was just curious as I said, where and how a lot of the extra-rare stuff surfaces. Thank you though. I've dealt with Black Gears in the past with pleasant endings. I've had some nice transactions with eBay sellers "Ministry Of Toys", "ksgj03", and Martin from Robot Kingdom. I know a big part of the search is definitely patience. Thanks for the info though.

Who is MOM? or should that be MOT?

True, everyone has a convoy collection.
I love to see your megatron collection!

i can give you a sneak peak on a site im working on with all my Primes, i think you will be amaze by it

PS just got a goodbye convoy for 600... best price i seen in a while

Was that the Goodbye Convoy from eBay seller BunnyBunnyToy, I was thinking about bidding on that one. The seller had the same item up in an eBay store, and had it listed for auction, $600 was a great price for the B-I-N, but I was going to try and get it for a little less, I managed to snag my Goodbye Megatron for $400 due to too many bidder restrictions on a auction one time.

I would love to see the site.

I'm working on picking up another US G1 Megatron to swap out the Box/Styro for one of the ones I have. I've noticed for myself, though not always the cheapest thing to do, it works out really well for me to buy the same thing multiple times and just piece together the perfect piece. The collection isn't too special, all I'm really concerned with is the Walther model. I've managed to get a hold of unused versions of most, I still need a couple of foreign boxes; Canada and Spain I think it is. One of these days though, I will finish.

Yes!
Bunnytoy hooked me up!
goodbye Convoy is going around 900 on Yahoo Japan, so i was excited to get it for 600 and a great condition.
The cheapest i seen Goodbye Convoy for was 500 and the box was ok, and that was a few years ago. so im happy waiting it out.
Now i just need the VXS to complete the Mass release Convoy toys and start hunting the lucky draws.

I PM you RN

Yeah, it sucks that Goodbye Convoy goes for that much. I was lucky enough to get mine for around $250. The only bad thing about it was the red alert was yellow which didn't matter cause I had like two spare ones.

VSX? pfft, now the VSA boxset is something to covert

you guys amaze me, you're on a completely different level.

Oh well, there goes this thread.
What were we talking about? Somthing about elephant poops?

yes, it is the trump card of all collections.

...but has anybody ever actually seen one of these (VSA) in real life? I was under the impression that it was never actually made?

I believe only one was made for a takra ceo/employee/ head hauncho, Blot I dont know. but thats about as much info as I have besides the one pic of it.

A couple were produced the only one accounted is the one presented to the CEO of hasbro by takara. They will be out there somewhere, like hard copies

Keep asking about it. Maybe they will reissue it.
