send the i want my 2 dollars guy

 

No idea where the guy lives exactly. We met halfway. He assured me everything was there. When I went over everything on the list I saw the 2 figures were missing. I messaged him and he said he would send them. Then he never signed back online again. I notified mods but he is a ghost now. This was last October.

Pisses me off. Luckily I scored both figures in another lot. But it really still feels crappy being ripped off like that.

Speaking of ripped off. Some asshole on ebay just sold me a Bunk ass poor Condition 2010 Predaking which was supposedly C8 box was ripped and the figure is LOOSE like Lindsay Lohan after a couple of drinks. Friggin wings do not even snap on the back. I see a chargeback a coming!

 

me no
but any one that bot RTS windcharger for 25+
and TFprime(FE)for 70+
feel sorry for them
fucking scalpers

 

The worst rip off someone tried to pull on me was when I saw a Car Robots Prowl for 120 dollars.

 

FunPub

sorry had to say it

ahem
bought a Henkei Skywarp on ebay last week turned out to be a CHMS the seller refunded my money before i returned the item with extra to ship it back to him. sad cause i thought i had a Henkei Skywarp. glad the guy was nice and honest

 

Does anyone else remember this one? In August of 1986 if you sent your Transformers the movie ticket stub to an address I forget... With a certain dollar amount, Hasbro would send you a TFTM poster! Turns out it was that poorly drawn one instead.... see pic. Flickr: Photos & Video from jtisme I wish I would have just kept my TFTM ticket !  BS Mail Away Scam!

 

How'd you figure it was a KO? I was scouting the same auction and wasnt convinced it was real, but that's just my response to every henkei seeker I think.

 

Yeah I have twice. When I first started collecting, I bought a 2007 Commemorative Edition Soundwave from a local comic book store for $50 because I thought it was a 1984 release. And then I got scammed by a member of these forums when we did a "trade." I sent him a complete G1 Starscream and I got nothing. Still sour about that experience. I wanted that damn Classics Megatron from that trade...

 

Did you mention this on the boards before? It might've been somebody else, but I remember this story for some reason.

 

 



Please explain the difference between the two? I would have assumed that these were one and the same...

 

I just remember I was ripped off by Seibertron.com too, back when they still had an online store. I'd bought a whole slew of Dreamwave comics that never arrived.
One day, out of the blue, they closed up shop and stopped replying to emails. Lost out on $40.

Fuck Seibertron.com!

 

I live in Europe, we are always ripped off here when buying a TF in a store.

 

^^^^
THIS!!!


(That says €19,95, people, which converts to about $26,41!!!)

 

Nothing major, just items not as described. Asked if anything was broken once, and the seller said no, when some tabs were broken when it arrived. When I asked, he said that he thought that was the way it was suppost to be, sorry. Was a minimal amount, so I just chalked it up to lesson learned.

I have almost struck deals before checking feedback (always do that now). I would get in a rush and send out an I'll take it PM then check the feedback and it is not so good. Hate backing out when I could have easily avoided it, but I would rather do that then face a possible hastle. Just need to remind myself, always check the feedback before PMing. Gotta say, great sellers/traders on this board.

 

I have been sold damaged goods that were sold as new condition - so that is never fun.

Are you sure it was Seibertron.com and not another board ?

 

Bought a G1 Hun-grrr from TFcon, which also had the Abominus pieces. All the pieces were fake, and both foot plates broke inside of a day. Think I did $10 for the figure, and another $5 or 10 for the parts.

 

Well, at least it's Hubcap & not a complete shelfwarmer... hah

 

Yes I have and it was a G1 metroplex that got into a bid war without me knowing it of 400$ Metroplex I own and plus 1 of the arms is REALLY loose and wont stay together. I had auto bid set 1 time for that figure and left and someone tested the waters on me behind my belt to see how high it was set and I got screwed on the figure.

 

Which European country did you get that from? Scouts are still 9.99 euros here.

Never actually bought it, but I would have felt grandly ripped off buying that 15 euros RID Wedge, 8 years after release at a local store! Get a clue people, he ain't selling at that price!

 

Beachcomber, Hubcap, and yellow Cliffjumper in package turned out to be the KOs.
