Someone probably just wanted to see ironoaks high bid at the moment.

Whoever did it should understand that it's a shitty thing to do to the seller. All the shenanigans could make it sell for less in the end than it could have. Stop being babies about one guy having deep pockets.

[ironmask]

Hahahaha, I am going to stick to finding my MUSCLEs in the wild. This is some effing soap opera business.

Jealousy..... creating babies since the start of time.

Beer does that too.

I agree that it's a shitty thing to do and i would never do it but there is a huge difference between someone having deep pockets and someone snatching up auctions that YOU already won after they are over by offering the seller triple.

Rarebob buys anything he likes whenever he wants cause he outbids everyone. Everyone likes that guy cause he's nice and he wins fair and square.

See the difference?

Being mad that someone buys stuff would be idiotic.

If you outbid Jon, he will congratulate you on your purchase. He doesn't get mad and ban you from the site! Its not about people buying stuff, but how they go about doing it! Its not about "coming out aggressive, bro" because its not a competition to see who can buy the most toys and pull the rug out from under other collectors. Everybody like Rarebob Squaretrade!

The aggressive approach was not to outbid or towards other collectors. My aggressive approach is towards my collecting, buying large lots and rare figures. Then easing into more easier to find figures and slowing up.

I would never "win" an auction by offering to buy the seller out early outside of ebay, so I don't really have to worry about somebody letting a seller know they should've let an auction run its course because they would have been willing to pay triple.

If I really had an issue with ironoak, I would be helping him spend his money. Whoever retracted their bid failed at this.

Didn't you win because you contacted the seller to end early and the other dude messed it up for you?

[PlasticSoul]

Me...?

Hell no.

I have never bought a lot of muscles on ebay and i doubt i ever will. I buy individual figures every now and then for sculpting purposes but that's it. I only own like a dozen muscle guys.

[ironmask]

Plastico only has sellers end auctions early, if the items up for bid are hookers.

i will never ever get rid of my SC 4 pack! i have had offers for way more than i paid for it

Glad to hear. That is why I sold it to you.

Likewise. Once something is part of my muscle collection, it's not going anywhere.

[progslut]

so what yall think its real sealed pack or one of those resealed packs?

[walker13.1]

It looks legit to me.

[ironoak]

It looks legit to me.

I have messaged him several times for closer pictures of the pack. He says he does not know how to add extra pictures to his listing. I even gave him my email so he can send some close up's and he again says he does not know how?

Seems a little odd to me

Odd, yes, but he could be trying to refer you to his third picture. That is a pretty good close up picture. If you look at the top of the bubble there doesn't seem to be any lifting of it. You'll be able to tell if it has been tampered. Everything on it will have to line up perfectly, meaning the bubble can't be off or any scratches/marks/tears around bubble. The fact that it hasn't seen a store shelf is also appealing to people.

Makes sense

It's a fake so don't bid :-) lol

I am honestly thinking about passing on this one anyways.

[SmokinGun]

Who ever wins this better look at the 4 pack with a magnify glass. Look for any excess glue, tears, lift point and ect. There just too many damn popular sculpts in that 4-pack. Make sure those four figures have blue specks on their backs too.

Great advice! It really does seem to good to be true with so many popular figures in there.
