I'm looking in Ebay and I've come across 4 auctions of TF's that I'm really, really, really badly wanting to get. But I can't do Ebay at all, I'm not allowed to use my credit card. I'm begging and pleading, really strongly and badly, if there's any UK member who does Ebay if they could bid for these for me and if they cna manage to get them, to keep a hold of them till I can send the exact amount of money, plus p&p, for all 4 items. I give my word that I would honour my agreement in that and I never go back on my word. Please, is any UK member able to help me out? The auctions are-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...5913091070&rd=1 - Alternator Sideswipe

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...5914436158&rd=1 - Reissue Ultra Magus

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...5914437398&rd=1 - G1 Inferno

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...5914438412&rd=1 - The entire G1 Arielbot team

If anyone's able to help, I would be eternally grateful because I'm badly looking for these ones and I've never had any luck finding them. Thank you in advance if I can be helped with these.

dont get reissie Ultra Magnus...they castrated his stacks

Gonna move this one to the endcap... it might get more hits there.

I'm not bothered by the 'safety' modifcations made to him, as long as he's still in one piece and is fun to play with. The worst they could have done was to make him loose so that he wouldn't fall apart during play, but I doubt they've done that. I've been wanting to get G1 Ultra Magus since 1986 and I'm determined to get him one of these days, same with the Arielbots and Inferno.

just get the knock off superion set, its like 10 quid buy it now...

And i would do this for ya, but how would you go about paying me back ?

sent pm about all 4 items

Ok, I think I'll be able to do a deal with Zapdragon. Be hard to sort out, but here's hoping I can work something out. Is the knock off Arielbot set any good? Just in case this deal doesn't fully work out, I would be most interested in those.

-Chuckles

I got the devistator knock off, and have no quarrels with it..

Im getting superion when ive paid off my ebay debts

edit: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...item=5914426435

Hmm, well I'll see what Zapdragon says first. It does look good though, it looks very good.

-Chuckles

I have knockoffs of Superion Defensor and Devastator that I would trade

Ok, the Tf's I have for trade aren't all that great, but I'll show them anyway-

3 G2 Powermasters - Meansteak, Bulletbike and Staxx. All of them have damaged or destroyed motors, Meanstreak has one gun.

A scoopless RID Grimlock - I had gotten from from someone else a couple of months before I received a complete Grimlock and Heavyload to complete my RID Build team.

Armada repaint Terrorsaur - I've only just bought him as of almost two weeks from this post, he was the only TF I could find so I bought him. He's in new condition, his right wing or left wing, depending which way you have him facing, is oddly very loose though and it sags. I'm not a Beast Wars fan, so he's not a very welcome addition to the collection.

And I guess I could add G2 Hooligan. His condition isn't great, he's very loose, has no missiles and is missing right/left tail fin.

Here's the link to the collection, you'll find the ones mentioned above in there, the condition of them is shown in the pictures, I had to place Hooligan's back against the unit to make him stand-

Me and my girlfriend's TF collection

I have nothing else for trade other than those, I've got a Babylon 5 video(PAL version and a TF video-Key to Vector Sigma and War Dawn(PAL version), an original video from 1986. I've got some Gundam models, no pictures though but I can take some if asked if my web cam will work for it and that's pretty much it.

I would offer to help but from what I know (having bought just about all the G1 line from ebay over the last few years) We're talking quite a lot of money here, especially for the aerialbots. BTW, I bought a KO superion for my nephew and it was really pants! The plastic was very bad quality and he has serious standing issues when combined. Maybe if you were willing to send me some sort of deposit prior to bidding and then I could refund you/ask for any additional money once the auctions had ended, depending on whether the items were won or not. Let me knwo if this would be acceptable and we can talk further about it via email. BTW what's the problem with ur card if you don't mind me asking. Cheers,
Jamie

Well the problem with my card is that my parents ended up using it without my permission for their own bids on Ebay, I wasn't told that the card's amount had been increased TILL months later and my parents didn't tell me they were using my card till the same time, they didn't realise how much they had spent, so now I've got to pay over £2000 into the card by January which is why my budget is going to be poor and why I can't use the card, other wise I would have placed my bids and be adding more to ensure I can get the TF's. I've got a final payment to make to my computer and then I'll be adding as much money as I can to the credit card while sorting out the TF deals I'm in and paying the other bills. By the time I get all this sorted out, it will be 2006 and plus I've got to save up for leaving the UK and moving to the US in 4 years time or less.

-Chuckles

Ouch, and I thought my debts were bad. What do you think to the offer anyway?

Your offer is very good, I just wouldn't be able to send a deposit because I can't afford to, sorry. The offer is great though.

-Chuckles

you have grounds to take them to court and make them pay the bill

I'm not going to, they made a mistake and I'll sort it out.

My mum's helped me to join Ebay, she showed me how to bid without using my card, so I'm bidding on these ones-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...me=STRK:MEBI:IT - 5 mini bots

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...me=STRK:MEBI:IT - Two Micro Master patrols

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...me=STRK:MEBI:IT - G1 Inferno

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...me=STRK:MEBI:IT - G1 Thrust

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...me=STRK:MEBI:IT - G1 Scourge

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...me=STRK:MEBI:IT - The entire Arielbot team.

Any TF deals I'm making with others, I'll still make them, I know one will be shortened down and I'll be buying less, the Magus is still the most expensive though. Fingers crossed I win these actions then, be another 20 TF's to the collection, plus maybe Armada Rhinox as well, even though I'll probably want to trade my BW TF's for something better. Mum's can be a wonderful help, can't they?

-Chuckles

i do hope you win them, lmk if u still need anything?

zap

Aye, the Ultra Magus and Alt. Sideswipe sound great, so if I win, I'll go for those. Guess I'll find out on Tuesday if I've won or not.

-Chuckles

Lost the auctions, was outbidded and then someone cancelled all the bids on one item and no one won it. Guess it's back to hunting for the Arielbots again.

-Chuckles

yesterday i saw all the alts up to deadend for £75

£75? Ouch, well beyond my Ebay limit. I'll be lucky if I can streach to £30 for bidding on Ebay soon.
