And we could not get verification on the 300,000.00 one either. it will be interesting to see what happens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuppylodders Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Personally I don't trust anything that seller says. Firstly, he's selling a paperweight that he knows only what has been told to him, and is claiming it to be guaranteed authentic from lego. That it could be one of a kind, or not, as he knows nothing about it. How can he make such a claim without any form of confirmation? I could make one of them eeeeeeaaasily out of clear resin and claim the exact same thing. He's selling an empty plain blister for an sdcc figure (just the transparent clear bit!) for $500! Like wtf kinda person would be stupid enough to do that?! Wouldn't be difficult to get one made for less than that, then claim its a genuine one.... While I do believe he has the genuine gold figure, he looks to be talking a load of crap to squeeze as much money as he can from absolutely anything.

I checked and yeah, that $500 blister pack is sus. There's also a $500,000 sports card, and while I'm no expert on sports trading cards, $500,000 seems like a lot more than someone would pay for a piece of paper.

JimH Posted January 13, 2021 Well it doesn't matter what we all think, someone has bumped it to 42K+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimH Posted January 17, 2021 It’s at 70k with a day to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hadidi1999 Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) There is absolutely no way anyone with a sane mind will buy that for anything over 70K. Either those last couple of bids are completely artificial inflation or "prank" fake bids. Either way, the posters' bid threshold hasn't been reached yet (check the automatic bids), so this item won't be sold until someone bid high enough to pass that set threshold. Also the top bidder hasn't bid on anything else in the last month... totally not suspicious. With 24 hours left... lets see how this goes.
