What's wrong with these auctions, exactly?

Did you see the winning bids?   :shock:

I'm thinking I might sell my 30 strong CG army...and I'll only charge $2500 for it.  What a bargain!  :shifty:

Python CG is the ugliest figure in the line (if you don't count the Lunitrix aliens). Worse than anything released in the 90's.

I've passed this fig up at $2, $5 and $7 (complete) through the years, and it's no more desirable to me now than then.

It never really had any exposure in the comic or cartoon, doesn't represent an interesting character, doesn't look good alone or in multiples -$88 is insane.

And a incomplete PP CG for 88 bucks?  I just got a second complete one from Mike's closing out sale for 18 CAN bucks last week (and that was without the discount).  I agree with Charles, the butt ugly colour deco is the reason why I haven't army built this figure.  I only have three of them and one is from Brazil.

The second pic provided is a frame of reference and show of good faith that you can have confidence when bidding.


How is it good faith to imply that you're getting seven CGs when the auction's only for one? I'd blame this for the high price tag. But the Python Guard, that completely throws me.

It's mis-leading and I hate auctions when clowns do this.  Just only have the item your selling.

Hey I'll sell anyone my version 1 CG complete for $75 shipped !!
Hell, I'll customize one, must be nice to have a $100 to buy a figure we could have bought new for $2.79 American, if only we had known !
Even if we did know who would have believed it...

That's just odd. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact there isn't much new Joe stuff so some people have extra money to buy higher priced items.

That or the heat has fried a few brains out there.  :thumbsup:

Have CG's become scarce?
