Yes indeed.

This seller knows exactly how to pull a scam:
Build up some moderate, but positive feedback.
Don't accept paypal.
Keep bidders' user id's private.
Cash in for $6000+

What a loser.

That's a sweet piece, but I've never seen it hit $800 before.

The high bidder's private feedback makes me wonder if it will even trade hands.

Hmmm  Seller with a Feedback of 13 and a buyer with private feedback.  I have a bad feeling about this.  ::)
This is the way.


I have spoken.

Me thinks this seller should do his research first before posting his auction.

VINTAGE Star Wars MOVIE on 8 track. Beyond RARE!!!

Just incase the seller revises the auction, the starting bid is $9,091.23 with a bin of $10,500.

A loose Darth Vader with a broken lightsaber for $550?!  Dream on!   ::)  But you know, it wouldn't surprise me if it sold, sad to say.  The speculators are going to be all over this stuff.

Man have read the question to seller and his reply?  ::)

Quote
Q: Why is he so expensive?

A: Why shouldn't he be. I actually have two of these Darth Vaders and their both from the first movie. Dated 1977. Also have Luke, Han, Chewbacca, C3P0, R2D2, Obi-Wan, Hammerhead, Lando, Princess Leia, a Jawa, Boba Fett and others all from the 4th 5th and 6th movies. 

Ahhh, then my collection should be worth over $1,000,000.  :P

That's possibly the greatest answer I've ever heard.

That sucks man, thats why sometimes i make a really small bid instead of watching it on some items so the seller can longer alter the auction.

I know, the only reason I didn't is I never expected to be able to afford that auction.  $125 for Sise, $75 for Tig and then all the rest for free?  I never thought it'd go below $300.  Then he goes and throws a BIN on there :'(  This is the saddest I've been about missing an auction. :-\
