Why not just spend the extra $150 and get the set?
The winning bidders bidding is just nuts, he upped his bid after being outbid at $125

From the 3rd June sellers will have to offer paypal on ebay UK.
It is quite ridiculous that as a seller you can not leave negative feedback, especially if you get messed around by a buyer. If ebay is going to fiddle with the system this much then a seller should, at the very least, be able to leave a negative once you have gone through the tedious process of filing a successful non paying bidder claim. The buyer didn't pay, ebay agrees, yet you can't leave a negative - what the **** is that all about?
However, I do like the repeat buyer change to the feedback as I am a repeat buyer - if I get good service, well described goods and don't get roasted over postage costs then I go back. This sytem is open to abuse but overall it is about the only change I like to the current whacky feedback system. My feedback jumped about 260 last week.

Feedback / Re: Rob's (pka Kneel Before Zod) feedback

Rob helped me out by selling me some hard to find / not available in the UK legends figures.
He was easy to work with, communicated well throughout and sent the figures quickly.
Thank you

Now that the new database is up and running at Toytraderz, making it even easier to contribute, I've sent over a few more MOC photos to fill up a few more holes on the matrix

The Legacy Collection / Re: Legacy Wave ? - A New Hope
« on: March 21, 2008, 05:56 AM »
Although there isn't much wrong with the old one Wuher may get a re-release.
Also a cloth caped Jawa wouldn't go a miss (wasn't there one in the vintage style packaging line due for release?)

The Legacy Collection / Re: More Ultimate Battlepacks
« on: March 16, 2008, 05:17 PM »
A Yavin Rebel Hanger BP would be good.
Don't know if a whole ship would fit in the set but it could include some technicians, pilots, droids, maintenance equipment and a small personnel transporter.
Plenty of scope to repaint stuff and throw in a few new bits.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Not impressed with Hasbro this past year!
« on: March 15, 2008, 06:35 AM »
Wave 5 saw very limited distribution over here in the UK also and we have only had Wave 1 of Legends.
Wave 5 was seen in low quantities in Woolworths stores and the majority of people seem to have picked the figures up from online retailer play.com
More legends waves would be good, although I'm only after the Sandtrooper variations and a couple of others

Well the listing are currently pushing 13 million 
The graphs are now up on the website linked earlier and you can see the huge spike with the promo and at the moment things have levelled to where they were before the promo.
However, it would be interesting to see how many of those new auctions were just people re-listing from the auctions that didn't sell as part of the promotion - I know I used to routinely re-list with the promise of free insertion if the item sold a second time - I'm more selective at re-listing these days

Hopefully the auctions will approach 10 million, although what happens on the 26th will also be interesting.
It hasn't been as big over here in the UK so I don't think the number of auctions here has been as affected.
We have also had no official info sent to us directly about any feedback changes or changes to the paypal set up.
Only the cheaper listing fees / final value fee increases has been announced over here and came into force yesterday.

I think the load on the site has taken its toll - the numbers haven't updated in 6 hours since I first checked them this morning. So the stats are over 12 hours out now.
It would be more interesting to see the numbers today as it is when the 7 day listings from last weeks promotion come off.

« on: February 20, 2008, 05:49 PM »How will we ever know if there is any kind of effect or not?
You can follow the numbers here http://db.powersellersunite.com/auctionsitewatch.php/
To put this into a proper context - the one day promotion ebay.com had last week led to a spike in auctions from 12 mill to 16 mill. The numbers have only been dropping since Sunday.
