Okay so I just got about $300 + in eBay gift cards for my birthday.

I found a lot of vintage joes on eBay.

Item # 170835654678

It has a NF charbroil and a neon Interrogator figure. I need both of those figures and this lot was around $20 on Sunday then this bidder h***g keeps putting in multiple bids.

The bid is up to $118.00 what do you guys think the max this lot would be worth paying? I need a NF Charbroil figure. I've seen loose ones go for $20-30.

Besides those two figures what else am I not seeing that this bidder would keep driving the bid up? I don't see a cobra viper pilot or a gold head steel brigade figure in the picture.

I'd pass on that auction, especially since you don't need more than one or two figures. Chances are it's someone driving up the price artificially.

And usually when you see multiple bids from the same bidder it's because they started with a high bid, and then as other people bid they are automatically countered by the first guy's original bid.

Hell no, stay clear of this one! No way is anything in that lot worth what it's up to now and also, that high bidder has ONLY BID ON THIS ITEM, NOTHING ELSE and they have 8 bids on it and driving the price up like this, too odd for it to be a "real" bidder......more than likely it's the seller (or a friend of theirs) that's bidding the shit out of this item because they want more for it than what it was sitting at.

Most buyers do not only bid on 1 item like this and that's all, seems really odd to me at least.

The only 2 figures out of this lot that are even hard to get are the Night Force Charbroil and Battle Copter Interogator but it looks like Charbroil is gear less so no dice.

Yeah the guy is bidding up his own auction for sure. But there isn't another interrogator v2 being sold on ebay at all right now. Charbroil is worthless without his gear though. It's a matter if you're willing to spend the money now on an interrogator that doesn't pop up very often.

Not worth it. That Interrogator figure will pop up again.

I like this lot, IF>>>> night force charbroil has unbroken elbows and thumbs (some do) and his accessories. Same with marauders BarBQ. Also would want to see if flint has paint wear (a lot of him do) and his sawed off shot gun, those are always missing. The orange suit star brigade and the cobra soldier are cool to get. Mail away life line is worth something. And if Firefly has his walkie, there is a $45 dollar figure right there. But those are a lot of questions.... that I don't think those photos can answer, So I wouldn't pay more than $60, unless they gave me better photos

P.S. that interrogator figure is not as uncommon as one would believe.

Too much... If they were all complete maybe, but you only need 2 of them then it makes no sense to get them all...

I'm sure you could even find a member on here to give $40 for a nice complete NF Charbroil and a few bucks for the other...

Thats what I would do anyway...

I got back into collecting 1960's Matchbox cars and get lots every now and then, but even at that, I think the most I paid was $40 for 20 cars and sold the 15 I didnt want for the same price...

Just saw the link...not even worth it. This is obviously someone trying to pull a fast one.

Yes it went for a good price I would have won it had I seen this earlier. 3 figures alone were worth the money and the rest is buttah!
