I know people are gaga for the Amazon Exclusive Unicron, but I had no idea it was like this.

This seller is totally and utterly insane, with a capital "NUTS"

Some lulz for those who really want Unicron.

Amazon.com: Transformers - 25th Anniversary Edition - Unicron with Kranix: Toys & Games

 

Saw that ages ago. Here's my post from page 100 of the Unicron thread in the News section:

 

the best part is the other two listings right next to it, for $150  

OOOPS!!!

 

 

ah.

Still, It's pretty funny.

...

In a WTF? kinda way.

 

That is how Amazon works..... You can list whatever you want for an insane amount of money. The question is, "Will it sell?"

 

Well, there's a saying over here; It's not the fool who sells...

 

It's the fool who buys

 

Actually, all the other Unicrons have sold, so the only listed price ATT is the $10000. That is AWESOME.

 

 Oh my god, that is brillant. Now, to wait for someone to buy it...  

 

I'd rather buy a nice 1988 Honda CRX SI for that kind of money. God do I miss my old car. LOL!

 

This, so much this.

I see these crazy prices all the time on Amazon and it's funny to see the reaction they get.

IMHO, the seller is not crazy, they might think who cares if it doesn't sell, so why not "go for it". In fact I think it's genius if they can get someone to pay it. Really at that point they ARE geniuses to get that for Unicron and it is the buyer that has more money than brains.

 

At least shipping is only $6. LOL

 

So the $300 Uni's sold?

(Sits down to think about how much I need a Unicron....)

 

I'm assuming so. I'm not sure how easy it is to retract an offer on Amazon.

 

It's super easy - I have a seller account there to get rid of my used videogames. All you have to do is delete it from you stock listing, takes a bit of time but if it sells, you can just cancel the order.

As for the "reasonable" shipping rate, unless you have a premium seller account, Amazon sets all shipping rates for you. That's why you see so many listed at the same shipping rate.

 

a policy ebay needs to impliment.

 

Never though that phrase might have a literal meaning when it came to Transformers.

Still, this is ridiculous.

 

Thats almost as hilarious as that guy who steals mechtech weapons
