    Looks like he's probably a scammer. The Ebay auction for Liokaiser ended with someone winning it, but the Japanese auction for the same Liokaiser is still running.

    Update: and now, the Japanese Liokaiser ended with a winner:
    http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m49753496
    So either (1) the Ebay guy is a scammer, or (2) he's the same guy as the Yahoo Japan guy, but he's dicking over either the Ebay or Yahoo Japan high bidder depending on who has the lower bid.

    I saw this one earlier for an Alt Nemesis Prime. I love how he updates the auction listing with bits of information as if he was having a discussion. He had a reserve anyhow, why pull it?

    Thats funny. No predacons just a KO set of terrorcons with two technobots.

    I know the guy that had this listing. He is a member here but I am not going to point him out as he is a friend of mine. There is more to this then what is listed there, trust me. I know that the one person was wanting him to end it early so he could have it for like 20.
    Peace

    Kinda don't blame him on this one. I wouldn't sell that for 10 bucks. I probably would have just yanked it without the explanation.

    Me two when I get about five people to ask me to sell it shipped for thirty or 20 and shit like that besides the other lowballers. I kept pulling it because a guy was having Paypal issues and I though it was someone like you two pulling a prank. Thanks for the concern though, I got over my reserve for it. ;)

    When I was new to eBay and got my first positive evaluation, I received an email with a graphic of someone giving me a thumbs-up for a job well done. If you start off in the negative, will this seller receive an email with a picture of someone being led away in handcuffs?

    Those are funny, but in a good way. Someone ran with KA's idea and actually made custom TF Cars. Just needed to make Barricade look less cheerful.

    MASTERPIECE SEEKER LOT

    Whoa what a deal. I was going to bid until I did some calculations.
    It went like this:

    MP WM Starscream: $80

    MP Skywarp: $120

    Both cost about : $200

    $1444.44 - $200 = $1244.44

    "Great, so far so good. Hmm.. 2 more seekers."

    $1244.44 divided by 2
    is: $622.22

    MP Custom Sunstorm: $622.22?
    MP Custom wrong blue Thundercracker: $622.22!!

    I was gonna BIN but I think he's overcharging. All that and you have to pay shipping to Canada for $200?

    Lucky I had my calculator.

    ;)

    The fella's a genius. He's done one as a 60s Batmobile too.

    Hmmm, the 20th Prime auction has ended, and yet nobody bid on the $3500 price. Gosh, I wonder why. /sarcasm

    What a tool.
