eBay
This figure is a modern bootleg that originally sold for less than $10 from China. There are collectors with dozens of this figure in their collection. Now someone just bought one off of ebay thinking it is a 1985 prototype. If anyone knows the buyer, then they need to let him know that he was ripped off. |

And sadly, I think whether he was ripped off or not (and he was) he's legally obligated to pay now....
Shame someone could explain the actual origin of the figure prior to it being sold. |

If my memory serves me correctly, a bunch of these were on Ebay within the past month or two. A few sold for around $50 I believe while some didn't even get bids.

Indeed. There was just a thread not too long ago where many new bootlegs had appeared. The only "rare find" that I've seen on eBay lately is this (and it's legit): 1982-83 Vintage FULL CASE 192 Figures ALL MIB RARE!!!! - eBay (item 270417452902 end time Jul-08-09 15:25:42 PDT) Quote:
I really feel for whoever bought it because I too believe that he's obligated to pay unless he contacts eBay and places a claim stating that the piece is fraudulent. |

Well the seller did no wrong. He mentions in the auction edtails that some one said the item could be a bootleg. So if the seller read that and still bought, or didn't read it and still bought, well either way it's on him. So he wasn't "ripped off". He just made a bad purchase decision.
