Wow.

$20,100 for an AFA 85 VC Jawa

Jeez, if you're looking to give your spouse a reason to leave - that'd be it.

Possible shill bidder, maybe the same person. I have seen this sellers before but the search engines on some sites just plain suck!  :-\

Also was know as sjsandjsh, why does that name ring a bell.  ???

Yes, very shady seller going back several years.
He is always selling his crappy restoration projects.

See the following threads on  **memorabilia**
memorabilia kill me again
**memorabilia**'s dodgy price sticker cover Tri-logo Luke!


Thought I would add that he changed his name again, now known as trade-federation-merchant.

Ok, I am not sure what to think about this. I plan on bidding but some opinions on it woul dbe helpful. The guy says he has 3, which i guess seems to be my problem.

I'd be hesitant too.  With 3 vintage pieces I'm sure the condition will be different on each one, so I'd want to see pics of each and be able to choose which one I wanted.  But with it being a multiple item auction, I'm not sure if you are "allowed" to do that - you'd have to put a lot of trust in the seller, which might be more than you want to do.  :-\

I agree with Jesse, definitely ask for pictures of the specific item for sale as well as better pictures to boot. The ones in the auction are blurry and/or from a distance, so it's not easy to tell what damage could exist or even if it's completely legit.
