Just think how many people could have been saved if just one person had a permit to carry and shot the ****er in Colorado before he even got a shot off... just like the case of the 71 year old permit carrying man shot back at those fools that tried to rob the internet cafe' in Florida last week...

I guess the "guns are banned here" sign on the theater didn't work:(

An armed society is a polite society;)

It's not often you find a rare figure out there and buy them for a steal of a deal good price. So post up your past or current purchases you're proud of and the price you paid that made it a great deal:)

Today I got this C9 .01 full circles on hands Boba Fett, what makes him special is that he's missing the chest emblem and a lot of the battle damage silver paint:)

I'm proud because I got him for $15 shipped off e-bay:) Some fools on e-bay list this variant for $250+ on e-bay (doubt they get it)... so needless to say I'm happy.

+1, I've had two blatant instances of attempted fraud on me... one where a guy bought a motorcycle fairing from me and then attempted to return his original broken fairing and say the one I shipped him was broke... the second theif sold me a broken new Amplifier in the box that was guaranteed to work and attempted to back out of his own return policy and keep all my money.

Both lost their cases with paypal and I got my money... however; when I contacted e-bay to remove the false bad feedback off my profile they left and punish/ban the accounts of the clearly bad e-bayers... they said "they'd look into it"

Needless to say the bad feedback never got removed AND the two e-bayers never got banned (after multiple tries)... one did end up ending his account after getting swamped with bad feedback, and the other guy is still racking up bad feedback every five purchases or sells just about lol.

E-bay sucks, but at least paypal has good investigations and I've always had them find the truth, see through the B.S., and handle cases promptly and effectively.

Thanks for all the replies, I'm obviously not going to lose sleep over it, but I've always suspected shilling was possible.

Guys spend endless hours to hack their favorite online RPG game to either take advantage of other players or even the game it's self by having the program play your high level character for you all day gaining you experience, loot, and levels.

Considering that, it's not far fetched there'd be people out there to write shilling programs or even snipping programs to make money.... Ebay can't complain because their sellers are getting top dollar (and they in turn get higher returns)... it's a mutually advantageous relationship, and most buyers are none the wiser.
 

I know, that's what I thought... until it's been happend to me for the second time now this month.

This discussion came up on some forum off a google search:

Some people think they somehow hacked e-bay, or there is a computer program to make bids and then stop just before wining the auction, or even that e-bay is in on it lol.

I don't know how they do it. Except that it does happen... I guess I'll be more careful deciding what my max bid will be.

Update: now each figure label has a clickable link (then click the pic in the link) to view a large raw image of each power of the force 2 red card/ orange card (OC) figure. So now it's a photo archive/master list of all the POTFII figures I have.

All the pictures are large enough to show the differences between each variation.

I was thinking about adding the figures I don't have to the list so people would have a complete list of all known variations and errors... they'd be differentiated as a figure I don't have because the label wouldn't have a clickable link.

POTF2 red card star wars figures:)

And back when I was a kid: the ninja turtles

thanks:)  I was in fifth and sixth grade when I was browsing the shelves at the local K-mart and then biking home with the newest figure lol.
