Bootleg?

Post by The Tori-bot » Tue Oct 03, 2006 4:53 pm

Found this on eBay. Seems too good to be true. All 7 Daizenshuu for £70. :?:

Can someone tell me if these are bootlegs? If not, I'm bidding! :)

I don't think it is a bootleg, but I highly doubt that they all have the strapes and are in mint condition. Also, check out the shipping prices. :shock:

Ya I believe they're authentic and it's really not a deal. As fps says, look at how much the shipping costs. Plus the bidding is already at 101.00 Euros and there's four more days until the auction's end. Judging from the fact that there have been 40 bids made so far, the final bid price will be hefty indeed. Throw in the cost of shipping and that's a big chunk o' change! So you may want to change the title of this thread to "Let's sit back and listen to that cash register 'cha-ching'!" :wink:

When I saw that link I was like great, I'll get them!

When I looked at it though I was slightly disapointed, it's not a picture of what you are actually bidding on (the copy you will get), and it's used.

So they are probably in bad condition. Then again is feed back is pretty good and everyone has said good things about him, but they are mostly all french lol, but I got the idea they are all pretty satisfied customers!

You can't rely on that either. He's listed as a "Power Seller". They have the option of deleting much of the negative feedback they receive. For all we know, he could be very unreliable.

Yes, but you have to have achieved and maintained a 98% positive feedback rating and an excellent sales performance record to become a power seller.

That's true, but take it from someone that regularly shops on e-bay for cosplay materials, it can be acheived by unreliable/scam sellers a lot more than you think.
