Mister Phes Posted August 1, 2008 Well good luck! Let us know it goes. Have you ever considered selling it on eBay? That might be your next course of action if you don't get any interest from the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antsa Antero Posted August 1, 2008 Yes I've been thinking about it but I heard ebay takes something like 7.5% from the winning bid as reward and that's way too much in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted August 5, 2008 This one is in the USA - currently $20.50 CLICK HERE to place a bid!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Posted August 5, 2008 This one is in the USA - currently $20.50 CLICK HERE to place a bid!!! Only $20.50? That IS cheap! In fact, it's probabaly the best auction I've seen for a Pirate ship, other than a BSB going for a Buy It Now of $14 with $10 shipping. Sadly, I went to $18 before I could bid . Back on topic, I'll probabaly bid, if it's still pretty cheap in 1 day, 20 1/2 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antsa Antero Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) One really annoying thing about purchasing legos from ebay is that even though seller says all pieces are included it hardly never is true. I could bet 100$ that there's at least a few missing pieces in RBR altough seller says it has all. Recently I bough two BSBs from ebay and there were pretty much missing pieces in both cases. But all ended well, I asked and got discount because of that When ordinary (non legofans) sell legos it's almost a rule that something is missing, but what can you expect when there are hundred and hundred of pieces Edited August 6, 2008 by Antsa Antero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted August 6, 2008 Ah i already have like a gazzillion of those! One really annoying thing about purchasing legos from ebay is that even though seller says all pieces are included it hardly never is true. I could bet 100$ that there's at least a few missing pieces in RBR altough seller says it has all. Recently I bough two BSBs from ebay and there were pretty much missing pieces in both cases. But all ended well, I asked and got discount because of that When ordinary (non legofans) sell legos it's almost a rule that something is missing, but what can you expect when there are hundred and hundred of pieces I agree on this and i have had many cases were the seller didn't even reply my emails about it, while good money was payed.. I've stopped buying sets off ebay and such for that reason, unless i need the parts and it's a good deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted August 7, 2008 Hmmmm... The Red Beard Runner doesn't appear to be that "cheap" anymore, in fact it seems quite reasonably priced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted August 31, 2008 Did you make a bid for Adam? And if so, did you WIN??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamtf Posted August 31, 2008 Hmmmm... The Red Beard Runner doesn't appear to be that "cheap" anymore, in fact it seems quite reasonably priced. Luckily, I found my used copy for only € 30 (boxed with instructions and some extra's that did not belong to the ship) a year and a half or so back (which is about $44 at today's exchange rate) . At the time, I found that a fairly reasonable price and I did not want to spend much more for this model. Seems that prices for the last of the big ships have been increasing fast since then.

Adam Posted September 1, 2008 Did you make a bid for Adam? And if so, did you WIN??? I bid on Palm Hideout (one of the only Pirate sets I didn't have) and won. It was a little pricey, but worth it. I can review it, if you like (I noticed it wasn'tin the Index). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted September 7, 2008 We had a Palm Hideout review not so long ago but it appears the index hasn't been updated. But you can review it again if you like. I'm also curious, which Palm Hideout auction did you win? Is it possible you could provide a link to the auction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randomparrot Posted September 7, 2008 Just under 2 hours left i wish my paypal wasn't mucked up are you selling more items in the future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted September 7, 2008 Hi Randomparrot, The items displayed in this thread aren't mine personally, they're highlights from the eBay Auctions displayed at the bottom of the Pirate forum. But to answer your question - YES!!! There will be more auctions, but I can't guarentee I will always highlight them in threads like this. It'll be up to potential buyers to scroll down to the bottom of the forum and monitor the auctions which appear in the advertisements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Posted September 7, 2008 Those are some good looking auctions! I'll proabably bid on the RBR, I don't have one of those. BTW, I checked the last few pages, and can't find the Palm Hideout review. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted September 11, 2008 Yes indeed Adam! But just remember to read the auction descriptions because you can't always determine from pictures whether the set is 100% or what condition the parts are in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Zuloo Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) It's amazing at how quick these posts are replied to. I thought being the lot of sea dogs you are, you'd want to keep what you're bidding on a secret! That's not to say stop letting us know.... Regards, Captain Zuloo Edited September 11, 2008 by Captain Zuloo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted September 13, 2008 There is a strategy afoot here Captain Zuloo! I can't tell you in the main forum because it's top secret Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Zuloo Posted September 13, 2008 I can't say I understand what you mean by that Mister Phes. Oh well! Email it to me. I don't know about that BSB as I already have one, but are those green baseplates for sale? Regards, Captain Zuloo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
