    No way. All that guy's auctions are WAY overpriced. Not only are they all about 2-3 times normal going rates, he's also massively overcharging on shipping. It shouldn't cost more than about $7-8 to ship this toy domestically; he wants $17.


    Don't worry, here's one that ended last week at $60:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5986674861&category=753&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1

    And it was actually relisted because nobody bit on the $60 asking price the first time it was listed.

    I agree its way overpriced you could get one for much less ($40-$50 maybe)

    Just to be fair to this guy though that shipping charge is justified as he is in Canada and it recently cost me $19.00 (CAN) to ship out a Takara Jazz and Prowl Statside and that was just regular post :(

    My bad, you are correct. I didn't notice he was in Canada. It's still a LITTLE high, but not so much as I thought.

    The price on the toy is still absurd though.

    That is pretty expensive but then again I've used this guy a lot before and the service from him is absolutely top notch and the item usually arrives within a few days to the UK. From canada. Which rocks! Plus he usually has some of the harder to find TFs..
