I recently acquired a near complete sky raven with decent chrome and only missing a couple of the pod missiles, plus a box of 15 or so vehicles in decent condition(rolling thunder for parts only, tomahawk, shark 9000, parasite, imp, TTB, tiger rat parts only, plus a another bag of parts. and about 10 figures including a decent sky striker, but no helmet visor or radio. I traded the guy a 95% complete whale and a vintage sky striker missing ace and the parachutes. In need to know if it was a good deal or not. Keep in mind that I didn't have a sky raven, but do have 8 vintage complete sky strikers and 8 complete whales.

Unless you could have sold those items on eBAy for more cash and used that cash to buy the thing you wanted - with cash left over - it was a good deal. You also got a good deal less risk/pain dealing with eBay. And you got a good deal more time to spend doing things you like instead of wasting it taking pics and waiting for auctions to end and packing boxes etc...

eyeballing it, I would say yes you made a good deal if you wanted those things. If you were to hunt all those things down on ebay individually, you probably would have paid more for shipping alone than the value of a complete Skystriker or Whale. You look like a guy that trades in bulk and has a large, large stash of parts you get at a bulk discount on and then fit them with other stashes to complete toys.

Yep good deal, decent Sky Ravens are tough to come by. Those missiles arent too TOO tough to come by, might cost you $2 to $5 a piece. The extra vehicles. parts and figures are a nice bonus on the deal too. Definitely swings it in your favor especially if you can use any of that stuff or resell it or use it as trade fodder.

times like this i often ask for the definition of "a good deal" it's a phrase that is relative and is only defined by the parties involved in the transaction...it's quite possible that if the other person that you traded with were a member, and they posted the same question, that they too would receive comments not too unlike the ones above...unless you put a gun to his head or otherwise threatened his mortality than I would wager that they believe they got a good deal...and if that were the case then they would be correct...just as you believed at the time the transaction took place you believed you were getting a good deal, that is of course, unless they were the ones to threaten you with bodily harm up to and including death, barring that then it's fair to say that you both believed you got a great deal which means...by that commonality alone...you did.
suffice to say simply put...STFU take pics and put them in the january hauls thread |
