Blood for the Baron!

This could be interesting as the euro exclusives are appearing on ebay less and less these days. There was a Gaucho only in fair shape on eBay a couple of weeks ago that went for £50+, that was the first I've seen in a long time, it's been even longer since I've seen a Jammer on eBay.

I've been watching this sale for a while, but it's gone way over my price limit already, & still some time left before the hammer falls..

This is exactly what I was telling Ironblood about earlier in the week.

That whole auction is between two bidders. Bidder 2 has put down a proxy bid twice now, bidder 1 has bid and bid and bid and bid and bid and bid and bid because he seems to think it's important to be the lead bidder for the entire duration of the auction.

Now, if I was the seller and was feeling unscrupulous I'd know that I'd landed a big fat juicy fish and could then get a third party to lay down a large proxy bid. That's another good reason to save bidding until the last possible moment.

Nice collection though. reading the description the seller was obviously once a fan but hasn't been near them in years, can't remember the names of things, etc. Maybe we should send him an invitation to join our board?

That's a good idea Boss, but as he's selling his collection off, unless he needs the money, wouldn't he be more than a little P.O'd when he discovers how rare the stuff he got rid off actually is?

Maybe, may be all the more reason to drop him a line, advise him to end the auction and sell the Shads and Jammer seperately.

Can you do that?, I mean pull an auction Half way though..?
He's also got a fig' sitting on the Laser canon as well, by the looks of it!

I was thinking the fact he'd listed it under Vintage Actionman would of limited his market as well..I know most seasoned Fee-bayers here look in th VAM saction, but how many American/Euro' Joe collectors would know or bother to search further than /G.I.Joe????

Thats a pretty good price, mine was a tenner without mines...

i didn't think it was to bad a price either i'm not too clued up on palitoy prices always had mine in bulk buys.

Very good price. Bloody bargain, in fact.

Yes, you can pull an auction with bids if you class it as an error listing or no longer available for sale, I believe.

Eddie, whatver you do don't proxy on this one, Bidder1 is hellbent upon maxing the price.
