    Not after a HOLO clonetrooper, just a regular one. Thanks for the Jabba [face_dancing]


    And about that ebay guy did anyone notice thats its in US Dollars as well!!???

    I find it extremely hard to believe that he is not in it for the profit, and he has the balls to say he is a collector.. :mad: Bah Humbug, packaging something that small only costs you $2-$5 if you have to wrap it in bubble wrap anyway.

    I hate wripoffs like that.

    he has not 1 but 2 of these !!

    Collector my foot !! No one can find one & this guy has 2 !! :eek:

    I don't even want a holo Emperor, it just makes me furious seeing SW fans ripped off, only a dedicated fan would contimplate spending $50 on a $2 item !!

    another thing that gets me fired up now too, is I've noticed most sellers won'tleave you feedback til AFTER you leave them feedback !!! WT ?

    So, if they screw you around you can't leave them negative feedback for fear of recieving a negative against your good name ???? !!!

    The purchase happens in an order, the feedback should also...

    you buy and pay for your item...yes?

    you paid straight away ? Good buyer- leave positive feedback NOW

    once I have recieved said item, if it's in good condition as described, I'll leave good feedback too.

    It should HAVE to be done like thi IMHO !!:mad:

    I have had some **** service & either left them neutral or positive feedback & have recieved no feedback at all when leaving neutral feedback, why ?? I paid Immediately ! I did the right thing by them but they can't do the same ???

    ebay? Pffft, you get some great things at some great prices, but some sellers....:mad:

    To me feedback is irrelevant. People only really notice it when people have plenty of negatives against their name...

    Now ebay is trying to FORCE people to pay only by paypal unless pick ups are available... they charge the seller listing fees - then take a percentage of the selling price & then take approx 3-4% of the exchange rate if the transaction is an overseas deal... THAT'S the real rip off.... ;)

    MS - I agree, but that's the way it seems to always be done. It's a crock, but that's the nature of the beast. That being said, Feedback has been the least of my worries with Ebay lately...grrr.

    EI - I agree. Ebay is getting a bit too big for their boots given that they own Paypal. This greed will either bite them on the bum by either a decline in sales or groups like the ACCC (or their worldwide equivalent) coming down hard on them. I don't mind actually paying via direct deposit to the bank, but Ebay are claiming that they're doing this for buyers' safety...*cough cough*

    Shell Hallet Cove were really nice today, went through every box they had out the back, with me to see if there were any holos. Not a single one in 12 boxes. Disappointing, but got another Amidala for Goddess.

    How much? $50 I'd expect (overpriced).

    Me wants one badly. Don't know if it's $50 bad, but I'll be keeping my eyes open over the next few days.
