Thanks Zap, I appreciate the info.

Folks, I'd like to retract the previously reported seller. Mods, feel free to delete all of my past few posts regarding the same seller. It looks like he has accepted that there is some issue with the listing and we will move forward amicably. Maybe he had been burned in the past.

Do you think it might be a mistake? Did you contact him?

I have to add seller: vgalchemy to the list of sellers to avoid.
This seller has a lot of vintage figures listed on eBay. The seller probably owns a store because all his stuff is in a baggie with the store’s label.

I bought a vintage Joe, paid instantly and waited.
The seller never responded to messages asking why it hadn’t shipped over a week after it sold. I opened a case and then got a message asking if I still wanted my item. I responded that I did want the item. The seller has not responded anymore and the item still hasn’t been marked as shipped. Now I have to wait on eBay to finally refund my my money. What a pain.

The Store is: CollectEmAll Toys and Games

My advice would be do not order from them.

Add this one to the list from Ebay:
jamed76

Bought a Cold Front from me and kept the visor/microphone, opened a "not as described" case for return.

Since ebay has removed the ability to search by members names once they change them (and are hiding all personal information now)

Never posted here before - never had to:

Be careful dealing with bamm6465 on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/usr/bamm6465

Won an item he'd listed for second time. He cancelled the auction stating it was 'damaged / no longer available' 4 hours after I won and then relisted BIN for a price $30 higher.

When I messaged the he can't do that, he responded:

"Oh yes i can ! "MY" listings clearly state , PAYMENT EXPECTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER LISTING END " , and you didnt , so i moved on."

Just bought a figure off ebay and had a horrible experience with ebay seller:
sweet14dudette

*AVOID*
*AVOID*
*AVOID*

Seller shipped figure in a bubble mailer, very lazy shipping. I explained when a buyer pays $20.00 + dollars in the future please ship items in a small box. The seller went insane and began to threaten me. After telling the seller to stop messaging, he continued.

Please do yourself a favor and AVOID sweet14dudette

Hey folks,

Update: brendbate-9 is the real deal and delivered as promised. A+! The Flagg was shipped in a wooden crate too, not a box. Like the leg lamp. Props. Great seller, Bid with confidence!

There is the listing.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/MIB-GI-Joe-...d/283873268541

Pros:
For me it's perfect. The discount reflects the open/damaged box and missing megaphone. I would have opened it anyway and never cared about the megaphone. I just want a mint Flagg. The photos show 0 yellowing so it's an idea listing for anyone comfortable with the price.

Cons:if it's only missing the megaphone why not pour everything out on a table and show me that it's all there. Why not show me the sealed KeelHaul i the baggie with his pistol and file card. Why not show my the minty sealed deck pins? I have 4 pics of a damaged box and 2 peeks at what's inside???? Te lisitng feels to good ot be true.

I'm not impunig the intent of the seller. Frankly I suspect he isn't a Joe or a action figure guy and maybe doesn't understand exactly what we'd want to see to ensure a sale. Maybe he thinks that if he removes everything he won't be able to get it all back in or it will somehow ruin the value. I'd feel better seeing less box and more what's in the box.

I want a Flagg, to open. This is perfect but I don't want to get taken for 4G. I've sent 2 messages asking if he/she has made sure it's all there besides the mentioned missing megaphone and no reply. for 4 G I;d expect a reply. I reply asap to a inquires about a three dollar item when I'm selling. Looking for advice and trying to keep emotion out of a buisness deal. what say you all?

I have no experience with this specific seller, but as a matter of course, when a seller only provides the bare minimum description and photo count on a high ticket item, I pass. Anything above $100 should have the full 12 photos.
I would think that 4K is sufficient incentive to write up 2 full, in depth paragraphs and take enough photos to document each and every part/ bag.

Lastly, is all of the FB seller FB? mine sits at 815, 100%... but I'd say maybe 150 are sales based; I buy more than anything.

Thanks bro. I think I just needed a friend to kick me in the butt and shake some sense into me. Yeah, I forgot to mention the sad little two lines of description. I wouldn't even mind having to track down a few pieces for aFlagg that sweet but the pieces can be expensive and I'd like to know what's missing before I buy it. And no, half of the FB seems like it's buyer FB. I'm at the point where I distrust anyone with less than 1200 FB.

Appreciate you!
