Apologies if in the wrong section. If so, can a Mod please move?
I live in the UK, so I don't know if anyone outside here has seen this guy on Ebay. He's called "live.mart" and sells obviously bootlegged and downright crappy figures.
EDIT - Links removed. I didn't know you weren't supposed to put up live auctions. Sorry!
Basically, you get the overall idea of this guy's actions. He's a Powerseller, and he's doing these things day in, day out, in the hundreds. The saddening thing is, people are going and buying them. With the Christmas time period approaching, you can imagine just how many parents will look for presents, and not knowing much about figures, will buy these things. He needs reporting or something. Just a heads up to anyone buying on Ebay. I guess I don't need to tell a lot of people on here that, but as I say, many people are buying from him, and it's a complete sham. Notice how he says they're made of "High Quality Plastic", etc. You be the judge.

Yeah there's a topic about him every week. I bought a figure off him and the plastic was weird and bubbly.

a) You're not supposed to post live auctions and... b) ...yes, most people know about this live.mart guy.
Geez, someone should make a sticky about this live-mart guy!

Yeah, he sells some legitimate stuff, but there's loads of bootlegged stuff, not to mention random figures stuck together. If the legitimate things were all he sold, there'd be no problem, but that's not the case unfortunately.

Ebay seller 'live.mart' is pretty well known on this board.
I have bough a couple of figures from him. They are not bootleg figures, but left over Jakks parts from the factory that were put together later.

I tried this guy by buying one figure. I've come to conclude that it's either a bootleg or a reject from Jakks. The plastic is a bit weird and the figure is very dirty. Just a heads up on the condition of these items.

I bought a RA4 with CS head scan Eddie off of him. I needed it for parts. Yes they are a lil bit dirty, but the plastic was fine to me. Its definitely a customizers dream. You get some good parts like a 1-2-3 kid with a Bret Hart Head

Yeah, I have been tempted to buy from him, but I have yet to find enough to make it worth it.
