JESUS...talk about the steal of 2016!

That's what doesn't make sense to me...I exchanged messages with him as well. I don't understand how someone could be dumbfounded over the value of this lot. We aren't talking about vintage figures, we are talking about figures that are still being sold today. Now, I'm not sure if he was the original buyer of all of these figures but it certainly does beg the question of how he acquired them then. Why would anyone hand over figures for free if that's how he received them? If that's not the case and he did buy them, we are talking thousands of dollars spend so how can one be shocked that someone would be willing to spend just a fraction of what he did? The more I've been thinking about this the more I believe it's one of those scenarios that screams, too good to be true. Perhaps he needs a loan or something and doesn't even plan to send them out. None of it makes sense to me.

I totally would have bought that lol.

I was thinking scam, too, but the more I talked to him, the more I came to think he's just one of those people who doesn't really understand what some people are willing to spend on these. We have to remember that to most people, these are "just toys" and to make out with a couple hundred bucks for out of the package toys seems like a fine deal for the seller.

If it'll make you feel any better, I got the sense that the buyer was squeezed for more money after the listing ended because so many people bombarded the seller after making offers. Still, quite the score.

It's definitely true. I won't go into details, but the price you all are seeing is about half of what the guy ended up actually paying. Still an incredible score whether the intent is to flip or add to the collection.

That really is bad, why do people have to interfere. Jealousy is not a good trait. Why couldn't others just thought, wow lucky bastard

Because when it comes to dollars and cents, some people throw ethics out the window. I've had a few of my own purchases on eBay over the years nearly compromised by this guy. To his credit, he's got some of the better prices among the regular eBay wrestling figure sellers, but that's in part because he never pays too much for his product to begin with.

Good on you. Ultimately, eBay only cares if the seller backs out of the deal, but really, it'd be great if they could find a way to restrict third parties from swooping in and disrupted a deal where payment has already been made on the agreed price.

In the past, I've messaged sellers in case the buyer backs out or doesn't pay, but that's not really the case anymore now that most eBay listings require immediate payment.

I see Jeff Hardy...
