I checked out the ad, it would have been nice if he posted a picture of all the figures lined up.  It would be easy to see the condition of hands and crotch plates. 

The prices seem normal for figures without accessories.  Maybe he would cut you a deal.

Bandonov, the price seems more than just right to me. You should ask for a pic, and if at least 90-95% of the figures are in good shape like he says (minimal wear overall and unbroken figures) and you don't care much about these beeing complete, I'd say Go for it. It's really a good price to start a ARAH collection and you always have Marauder Gun runners or the upcoming CJC to help you gear them up. I completed a lot of figures for my personal collection at the convention, so take it from me :wink:

great find, those are great prices if the figures are in decent shape, I say go for it.  The other thing is getting all their accessories might be a pain.

I was not interested in buying this... I wanted to let you guys know if you wanted them for customs... The Only Vintage I will be getting now is the ARAH Comics.  Once I get all 155 issues then I will look at the Vintage figures

Had there been a Vapor in this lot, perhaps I would've jumped on this. I am still looking for his freakin' legs to finalize a custom...

I picked up a lot of vehicles and a couple of figures this week off of Kijiji.  $150 for 20ish vehicles and 5 figures.

I'll try and post photos later.

The highlight of the list was a complete WITH INTACT tow cable Wolverine and Cover Girl.

Off the top of my head there was:

Wolverine with Cover Girl
APC complete with 1 extra seat belt
2 Bomb Disposals (complete I think)
1 Stinger, complete but with VAMP Mark II wheels???!!!
Mean Dog complete w/driver (can't remember the name)
MMS complete
JUMP complete
ASP, missing one gun guard
Whirlwind complete
HAL complete
4 complete Battleforce 2000 vehicles (missing Vector Jet and the bike thing)
FANG 2 complete with box
ADDER
Battle Robot something
Swampsmasher
mini tank (motorized little green thing)
Polar Battle Bear (missing a lot)
I think I am missing another vehicle

Figures:  Snake Eyes V3?4 with the double swords across his chest, tight and unbroken, but paint wear

Tunnel Rat with some accessories, tight and unbroken, no visible wear
Steel Brigade, no accessories, tight and unbroken with minor helmet wear.

What is it with Kijiji buyers? I'm selling my PS3 (Fat, 80 gig, 4 USB ports) for $200. I've stated several times $200 firm and I've still had offers of $100, $130, $150 and $160. I never haggle this hard as a buyer. Geez people. It's not like I'm a teenager who can't wait 24 hours. Time is on my side and the fat systems won't go down in value. Heck, it's worth $200 at gamestop in trade right now.

Morg, I used Kijiji in the past to sell a few Joes. Most of the time, the buyers would be the same people who resell these on Kijiji. I started to notice that after a while. One even reused a picture that I took to list a Transformer that he bought from me. In the end, I couldn't care much as I sold them at the price I wanted, but it did start to bother me after a while that the Joes were perhaps not going to the best people out there.

I even sold my old NINTENDO DS LITE. There were a lot of people who contacted me to counteroffer my price although it said "please do not make offers". My price was set low at that time (85$) so that I could sell it quick. I even got some responses telling me that they noticed a crack on the hinge and that my DS was useless so they wanted to offer half. If it's useless why buy it I thought. I ignored those unreasonable offers. And my DS had a small crack but it wasn't a crack that was going to get worse if taken care of. But there as a pretty ending at least: I did sell it to the right person in the end, because when the buyer saw it he said he was going to customize it anyhow, and replace the hinges as well.

The perception out there is if its on Kijiji, you better be able to haggle.  Personally, I don't get it.

Funny that people haggle despite the instructions not to.
However, if it doesn't say "firm", I assume best offers are welcome...
