    I just purchased this guy on ebay -

    1985 Transformers Evil Decepticon Reflector Camera | eBay

    The bidding started at $60, and I offered her $100. I know the box has a couple of water stains, but the figures, parts(minus 1 gun) and styrofoam are pristine.

    Think this was a fair transaction?

    $100 and a missing gun? No. I wouldn't have.

    I just hope it's not a KO in an intentionally beat-up box.

    i think its too much, i had a chance a while ago to buy a vintage one complete in a nice box for 80 dollar. and this one was complete.

    still my opinion is that litte bot is allways overpriced. i bought a ko for 40 dollar with shipping. happy about that one

    It is definitely not a KO/repro (the online guides show the obvious differences).
    Plus, the gun can be picked up easily.
    I lost out on one in not as great shape for over $130 a month ago, so I thought this was a good offer, especially since the paint/plastic is pristine and the styrofoam is great. This will sit on a shelf in the styrofoam, and if I ever resell, I have the original box to include with.
