captaintau Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Phes, are you (or were you) "Imperial Trading Post" on eBay? Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 16, 2006 Governor Posted June 16, 2006 No, that's not me! Why do you ask? Quote
captaintau Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 No particular reason. Just putting 2 and 2 together and obviously making 5! I've bought quite a bit of stuff from them. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 16, 2006 Governor Posted June 16, 2006 You got any links to their current auctions or eBay store if they have one? I'm curious to see what these people are selling. Exactly what have you purchased from them? Quote
Captain Ironhook Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Ha ha ha I thought this was going to be a funny thread like 'Phes, are you... Going to marry a Lego Pirate wench one day' Quote
gylman Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 I vaguely recall Imperial Trading Posta as one of the more expensvie eBay sellers. They have lots of good stuff, but very overpriced. Quote
captaintau Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 ITP arn't registered on eBay anymore. I think they reregistered a few weeks ago but have let registration lapse again. I bought lots of SW LEGO from them when I got back into LEGO. They had a good shop. Feel free to look at my eBay feedback (my eBay ID's "captaintau" (!)) I don't think they were overpriced, but I think they were fair priced. That is, little in the way of bargains, but nothing costing more than it should. Excellent service Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 16, 2006 Governor Posted June 16, 2006 Do you know if The Imperial Trading sold much Pirate LEGO? Quote
SuvieD Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 I think this is the same person who sells on bricklink. ITP His prices are close to LEGO prices. Which I think are usually high unless on sale. Not much in the way of pirates really. A few things though. Beware of his high priced minifigures though! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 16, 2006 Governor Posted June 16, 2006 Well! Some Imperial Trading Post they are! How could an Imperial Trading Post not sell Pirate LEGO? Do you suppose they got their online trading from that set or its just a coincidence? Quote
Evil Willy Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 I have looked at a lot of stuff on there store before, but like previously mentioned it was often very over price, actually it was always over priced and all BuyItNow. Never bought from them! They had nice stuff though. Quote
Brick Miner Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Well! Some Imperial Trading Post they are! How could an Imperial Trading Post not sell Pirate LEGO? Do you suppose they got their online trading from that set or its just a coincidence?IMPERIAL trading post probably refers to STAR WARS not PIRATES !!! :-D I vaguely recall Imperial Trading Posta as one of the more expensvie eBay sellers.same here... i've never bought anything from their BrickLink store or their Ebay store cause its just too over priced.- BrickMiner Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 16, 2006 Governor Posted June 16, 2006 IMPERIAL trading post probably refers to STAR WARS not PIRATES !!! :-D I was thinking this as well... But I preferred to write what I wrote in my previous post for the sake of dramatics. Quote

captaintau Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 I may be typing rubbish here, but isn't there a Pirate set called "Imperial Trading Post"? Though yeah, I originally thought he was referring to SW and seeing as how that's what I was looking for, it seemed to fit. This is also what I wondered if they might be you, Phes - Imperial Trading Post selling LEGO on eBay and also you've started an ITP on here. There was logic behind my mental meanderings. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 16, 2006 Governor Posted June 16, 2006 Yes, Captain Tau, this is 6277 Imperial Trading Post You've come to the right place to learn all you could possibly want about Pirate LEGO! Quote
captaintau Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 I dont have any memeries of there being a trading post in Star Wars, which episode was that in? Well, none that I recall. But its does sound very SWish. Imperial and all. Which I know refers to any geographical area governed by an Emperor. All, in SW, there are "outposts" including outposts of the Imperial Remnant. You need to look into the EU though. Quote

There was logic behind my mental meanderings. Yes, I see how you drew the connection but I was merely borrowing the name from the set without having any prior knowledge that such an eBay and BrickLink seller ever existed. Quote
captaintau Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 Yes, Captain Tau, this is 6277 Imperial Trading PostYou've come to the right place to learn all you could possibly want about Pirate LEGO! Woohooo! So I was right then. Funny how little memories creep in. Looks like a pretty good set too. Actually, in my youth, I had some pirate LEGO (still do, technically, in a bog bucket, broken up, with the rest of my childhood LEGO in the attick. I had the desert island one, which was well cool. Small bastille thing and the Governor's Broadside boat. What I used to do was use the spare plumes from my knights LEGO for the pirate MFs hats (as each knight got like 3 plumes, but could only use one at a time. Quote
Brick Miner Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 I dont have any memeries of there being a trading post in Star Wars, which episode was that in?their Ebay banner had star wars iconography ALL OVER IT... so i gather that they are heavy into buying and selling star wars LEGO. hence the name, imperial (reference to SW) TRADING post.to me that equates to "star wars trading." which is the company's cash crop, as is with most LEGO sellers. and, again, explains their banner. although, im not the seller... and this is only a perception. ;) Quote
Djole Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Hey Phes...I have one question and I decided to ask it here... As I'm new here,and on the internet at all,I don't know how's that eBay-stuff going... I really wanted to fill my collection...We had not much opportunities here in past years... So,if you can,explain me the whole process...Thank you very much... Greetings from Serbia Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 17, 2006 Governor Posted June 17, 2006 Actually, in my youth, I had some pirate LEGO (still do, technically, in a bog bucket, broken up, with the rest of my childhood LEGO in the attick. I had the desert island one, which was well cool. Small bastille thing and the Governor's Broadside boat. You really need to retrieve that LEGO and build it. Once you do you'll realise how wonderful Pirate LEGO is and want more. Thankfully in this age we have a Pirate Forum at Eurobricks so you can share your new found Pirate LEGO enthusiasm with everyone there. Oh that's right you're there already. Silly me! Now get that Pirate LEGO out ASAP! Hey Phes...I have one question and I decided to ask it here...As I'm new here,and on the internet at all,I don't know how's that eBay-stuff going... I really wanted to fill my collection...We had not much opportunities here in past years... So,if you can,explain me the whole process...Thank you very much... Exactly what do you mean by the whole process? Right to the beginning by signing up to eBay or have I gone off on the wrong tangent? Quote
captaintau Posted June 17, 2006 Author Posted June 17, 2006 Hey Phes...I have one question and I decided to ask it here...As I'm new here,and on the internet at all,I don't know how's that eBay-stuff going...

The whole process. Phes, this question was directed at you. Good luck! Quote
Djole Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 First I need to signup...OK..that's a good begining :biggrin: You see now how I just don't know how it goes...But anyway thank you... If it is so complicate,i will find some instructions myself...just tell me where I can find it... I just don't know is it possible for some set to come here in Serbia,from,for example,England??? And,yes...captaintau thank you for helping me... (I don't know how this sounds,but i've been sarcastic) Greetings from Serbia Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 17, 2006 Governor Posted June 17, 2006 First of all I'm going to mention that eBay has a lot of helpful webpages that explain how to do everything you can do on eBay. I recommend that anyone wanting to know how to do something on eBay reads the help section before asking question. This is what you're seeking Mr Sk8, a Here is a link to the main eBay help page. And yes it is possible for you to buy LEGO located in England and have it sent to Serbia providing that the seller is willing to send it there. I recommend what you do is search for whatever LEGO look your looking located in England (although you'd get better deals in France and Belgium) then send a message to that seller asking if they would send it to Serbia and how much the postage cost is.
