Les_joc has some interesting items for sale, hasn't he? Being nosy, why was the auction ended early?

hi! nice auction...


I think it was early cause in another post (above) the cost was mentioned of 25. to the winner.. so maybe it was a email $ offer and the seller took it????


attom::

It's not that obvious, that was why I wondered, because the buy it now is the same as what was paid if you add in the postage isn't it?

yes!

hmmm?????

Because I clicked the buy it now option and it wouldn't work - He said there was a problem and invoiced me and ended the auction early - my,my ain't we nosy...sniff - sniff...

Nope - wrong again - the buy it now had "immediate payment needed" and I could pay immediantly but there was a glitch - no conspiracy here affaid...

It was $40 and $10 postage = $50 at that days exchange rate which equaled: $25/6 ....

Hee hee, your words, not ours!!

sniff - sniff...

You really need to do something about that cold

Sorry, the devil got into me, you know I am an angel really.

of course...

LOL, I am glad you can put up with us nosy people. I had been looking at some of that seller's auctions myself and I am just jealous really that you got to those before me, hee hee. I do think they were a bit pricey though so I wouldn't have gone for the buy it now, but then again if I didn't have one of them myself I would have paid top whack like I did for the cycling smurfette I recently bought from John. You probably think I am mad for how much I paid for that!

Don't be silly Karen...we don't think your mad for that reason!



Dyar Engine

LOL, it's the hundreds of other reasons we think you're mad...ACK, I'm going to duck now so you miss me and hit Dyar.

LOL, I will take all your comments as a compliment, it's good to be mad, you should all know!!!!!!!

I got them and they are all in pristeen condition! marked "Applause", "Div.WB&Co,Schleich,PEYO, 1984, Made in Portugal", They all have a RED dot(?) and are marked 3 or 4 on their feet.

very happy and I am almost tempted to open their bag...but I know I musn't - lol!

I'm glad you are pleased with them.

Don't forget that they get rubbed if left in the bag like that and moved around too much. That's how a lot of the rubs on new smurfs appear so don't be too worried about opening the bag and bagging them separately.

That's why I thought take them out of the bag. Karen, It's a regular plastic bag and doesn't add any value to it - do you think I should open it in the saftey of the smurfs?

Personally I would. As you know I buy a lot of smurfs wholesale and they are never in the original bags from Schleich. I don't think it adds value to a dealer, and a collector is not necessarily going to want that many of the same smurf anyway. I would be more concerned about bagging them individually to keep them safe from rubs.

Done! - Good point and thanks for the advice...
