Cheap Black Sword

Post by CAI »

Hey guys,

This guy doesn't ship to canada or US. I asked him if he would make an exception and said yes. He set up a password, but it does't work for me. He says it works fine.

So i'm posting it here, maybe one of our European members can get a good deal before someone else does.

0.25 cents..I've verified it's the real deal in good condition.

Cheers.

Have you verified the condition? On a rare item, with the status "Used" and no special comment given can easily be a bad sign. Especially when it's a ridiculously low price. I, too, am in Canada - Otherwise I'd ask about the quality then grab it as soon as possible. Congrats to whoever gets it, especially if it's proper condition.

That's odd, the price really makes me wonder. I am in the US also, so I can't grab it. But then I don't really need it either, I have enough black swords.

I can't believe all your people are passing up a $0.25 black sword simply because you don't need it...

If nothing else you could resell it for $2.00 and make an 800% profit!

Or save it for the next Xmas figure exchange. You'd make somebody's day...

I got it! :D

They seem like a new member and only have 2 positives as a seller so it seems risky. I only made a small order, around $2.60 (minimum was $2.50) so if I get ripped off I won't loose a lot. I shouldn't expect that though, and I will let you guys know the outcome ASAP!

EDIT - Whatever the case, this has certainly messed up the price guide! ;) (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPriceGu ... colorID=11)

Good! I am glad someone here got it. I would have if the seller shipped to the US. Keep us posted.

Glad to hear it! What a deal, I was sure it would be chewed up, dented, etc. Congrats!

I had the same thoughts, but it appears to be in great condition, only a few minor scratches.

I'm Suspicious, but...

I will be interested to hear if these pan out?

I'm not being suckered in but such a new low feedback seller. He has already sold 50 and just listed another 50. I don't think so sir.
