I don't know if you guys also bid on those 'unknown' toys, or those toys on eBay where the seller doesn't know what it is, or lists it in the wrong category, and you just happen upon it accidently and win it.

 

I was able to get a Jetfire like this once. Here is the latest one:

 

"RARE GENERATION 1 G1 TRANSFORMERS UNKNOWN NAME" = Snaptrap

that's a pretty nice jetfire! :P

Usually if the seller doesn't know what it is, the thousands of TF-buying eBayers know what it is. :redface

here are my latest great catches

those are the only 2 great catches at the moment.

Optiomus?? :lol Sigh...nice catch for uber-low price, SS.

start price form $15?

Hey Sureshot, I'll give you $20 for that Laser Prime. :thumb

 

 

My best "unknown item" find was an incomplete G1 Swoop, for something like $15.  It was listed as "1980's transforming pterydactyl" or something lame like that.  This was at a point where a Swoop that had a beak was going for $50 at least, if not more. :mwahaha

Sureshot sure was lucky getting those two.  I have only recently won wave 4 of legends of cybertron pvcs for $12.00 bucks including shipping and they were all MOSCs.  That's about it.

I just got this in the mail today , it was properly named but since it did not have Optimus Prime in the title it kinda flew under the radar...

How much did you pay for the G1 prime?
