I am sorry but I found this to funny not to post. The seller could very likely even be a member on this forum (based on his seller name and all the GI Joe stuff they buy) so I hope I am not insulting anyone but I still have not stopped laughing. I mean the thing is broken beyond any repair.

Well it would be good for someone who needs parts for their terrordrome. The shipping price is probably due to the size and weight of the item and you know the bigger it is, the more it costs to ship...

Unfortunately, it's not a joke, but a way to keep eBay costs down.
The Seller listed it for $1 so that the listing fees were low, then jacked the price up in order to cover the aforementioned fees, the cost of the item and the actual cost of shipping. (the top is wide, so the box will fall under the "Large Box" category when shipping). All in all, I wouldn't say it's a bad thing...just a round about way of not coming out of pocket for anything. But, see the kind of negative reaction it received from a potential buyer? You have to spend money to make money, IMO. The seller should just list the piece for $10 and be done with it. |

you know I look at that and think "some fake grass and moss and stuff like that, scale animals and snakes and stuff and it would make one hell of a cool diorama." Kind of the site of an older epic battle. A broken few Firebats and Trouble bubbles and such around it.
