i just sent this

hello

i dont want this to come across a bit bad, but i think who should redo your prices of the transformers you up on auction

you can get a complete fortres s maximus for less than what you want the body for, and even a boxed one for maybe the same or a bit less than the body you have listed
scorponok, in mint condition,with box is worth around £120-150, but a loose one is only worth bewteen £60-80
metroplex isnt even worth that boxed, proberbly £60 for a boxed one and a loose one goes for £40

i just think you should have a look and see what the items are actually going for, as people are no way going to pay them sort of prices for these items and its just wasiting you money on them listig them im afraid

agiain this isnt to come across a bad way as they do look nice they just arnt worth what your asking

especially the gun for fortress maximus at £100 where you only paid £35 for it

dont think it was too mean, but he needs to realise

had a reply lol

bit of a noob really i think but as he said its hs stuff lol

Dear xr4x4rs,

Hi,

I have decided to sell the items at a level I have chosen. I know where you are coming from but its my choice and not yours. You don't have to buy - I am not forcing anyone. I am sure you will purchase from someone else which is your right. However, I am happy that what I am offering is all genuine stuff and not the knock off rubbish which is becoming increasingly common. I will take my chances and 'waste my money' listing thanks as I have people already interested in most of the stuff. I am happy to relist if they don't sell and I will knock a few quid off but thats as far as i will go. I am offering great stuff but I am asking for a premium - I conceed that. If you can get a boxed Fortress Maximus who is 100% complete at £700 then buy him!!!! I bought a loose Scorponok 18 months ago for £90 and he fell to pieces. His arm was actually glued on. It took me ages to get it all sorted. Price is in the end up to the individual. Its not up to me to choose who pays and its not up to you either. I am well aware of where you are coming from but two things dictate my auctions at present. Firstly, I need money. Secondly, genuine Fortress Maximus parts are becoming very rare. So price has gone up. I doubt we will do business but all I am doing is offering a product that people want. If they don't want to pay - move along. By the way - the Main Gun I now have is the first genuine Fort Max weapon I have actually bought from ebay in 2 years. I would suggest you are careful what you buy. Alot of the US and Asia based sellers are selling poor replicas. Some are great but its an expensive way to find out. Also, if I buy something and know I can make a profit I ain't going to sell it for the price I bought it at. Thats known as stupid! There is a profit in the main gun for me and its pretty decent. Sadly, this is life.
Thanks and all the best.
