Obiwanjacoby 08-05-2005, 05:10 PM Good finds, and all their accessories are indeed original (did that relate?).
:eek: Wow. . .straight-arms are getting scary cheap nowadays, huh? For those prices, I just might consider going back and completing the whole '82 set for a display or something.:cool:

I dont agree. the color diffrence between accessory pack weapons and the real thing is so slight that you need closeups to make that assumption. thoes auctions gave real crappy pictures. the helmets might be original but in that light and angle its too hard to tell. and breakers telecomuny thingy looks too light in color. its still a steal thought so good haul.
sinnister 08-05-2005, 05:33 PM I think he did good on the auction whether they are original or not.
Now gimme Grunts right arm! :D

Frag Viper 08-06-2005, 11:13 AM I think I'm being a little ripped on shipping. From the "Calculate shipping," it said $3.85 a piece, but if I'm buying two figures, shouldn't he combine them? He sent me a total of $12.20. That can't be right. He's charging me full amount on both as if he's sending them in separate boxes. Any advice?
sinnister 08-06-2005, 11:20 AM I'd send the seller an email and politely ask if he would combine shipping costs. Some will not...especially if the auction didnt go for what he expected them to go for. I'm not saying this is right...I always combine shipping...but thats just me!
Frag Viper 08-06-2005, 11:35 AM I sent the seller an email asking him if he could combine shipping. I'm really hoping he does. First time I've ever come across someone who hasn't.
tarz_an2003 08-06-2005, 05:00 PM Hey Frag Viper, congrats on your two buys off eBay!
The '82 line wasn't my intro (when I was younger) to the G.I.Joe realm, but from what I can see... it looks like you got a great deal. I just recently hooked up with eBay for the 1st time ever, as a buyer like literally a few weeks ago and not too long ago, I bought two items from a seller:
1986 Cobra B.A.T.
1987 Falcon
I got Falcon like 3-4 days later after the auction ended and til this day RIGHT NOW, I'm STILL waiting on my B.A.T.
I had to find out through experience that even though a lot of sellers advertise the combined shipping, sometimes they don't... just to get the extra dough (or so I've realized), just like sinnister had put it.
There's just not a lot of honest and quality sellers out there I guess. I don't think I could pull a stunt like that but that's just me.
Oh and B-T-W, thanks sinnister on the combined shipping request advice.
Yooo~ JOE! :)
Frag Viper 08-09-2005, 08:01 AM I sent a second email yesturday. Still no response from the seller. :( I guess I'll just have to pay the high shipping.
Druss 08-09-2005, 08:25 AM $12ish for those two figures is still a great deal, I can't believe how cheaply they went with accessories & file cards. I have recently sold examples of those figures with broken thumbs for more than you paid.
As for the accessories, Grunts Rifle looks Accessory pack to me, I can't quite tell on the helmets but the backpacks are definetly vintage. The headpiece looks Accessory but I can't be sure.
Also, auction doesn't state combined shipping so your pretty much SOL on that front.
Frag Viper 08-09-2005, 08:29 AM That's true. It still sounds like a really good deal.
Frag Viper 08-18-2005, 01:15 PM Well, I got burned. Although the auction states "no paint wear," there is plenty to go around. Breaker's boots are covered, as are parts of his torso. Grunt has Short Fuse's arms(also quite a bit of paint wear I might add), paint wear to his eyebrows, his torso...
Half of the accessories are from accessory packs, and Grunt's helmet is badly 'chewed.'
I'm very angry right now. Especially since the box was marked $2.20 when I paid $7.20 for shipping. Getting a refund now is pointless as I was raped on shipping rather than the actual figures.
I don't know what to do. Very upset.
