New on Ebay

[docronnie]

 I have yet to find bargain dinosaur toy figures on Ebay, but just recently, I was able to win bargain hard to find Marvel items.  Maybe I just have to wait.

Although, I do get dino figures at really low and reasonabke prices here in my country.

What is so special about these two - that got them such a high starting price :

Has anyone ever heard of this set, what it combines of and the quality of the models ?

I've never seen those figures before. They don't look too bad, but I wouldn't pick them up because of rarity alone.

I asked my source about these.  Will update.

[Invicta Hunter]

They both look good but i dont think their really worth that price plus they are missing their bases.

I was going to bid on these - that Triceratops is fantastic - but the seller doesn't offer international shipping. Does anyone know why some sellers don't ship overseas? I've missed out on a couple of cool things from Ebay over the years because of this.

Some sellers just don't include it in their listings but likely would check if you showed interest, others don't want to take the chance of negative feedback if a product is lost during international shipping, and others don't include it because they feel high shipping prices being visible could discourage intranational buyers,

Saw this today and couldn't believe my eyes. The Sideshow Mosasaurus originally sold for $300 new from the company and here they've got 3 (out of only 400 pieces made) listed for only $200. Now I'm kicking myself for buying it from Sideshow, but I honestly thought they would only go up in price, especially after selling out, which they have. It seems too good to be true, but the seller has over 5,000 feedback and 100% positive. As someone who owns both the original color and this gold one I can say this sculpt is fantastic... and with its vertical orientation doesn't take up as much space as this long serpentine animal otherwise might on a collector's shelf. If you can drop that kind of change, I would highly recommend this piece, and you're not going to find it cheaper than this.

They also want $55 import charges and $60 shipping, to the UK anyway. I backed out of the order because it exceeded $300 in the end, but it is still a good deal given its rarity.

Good points. I didn't check with them but it said specifically that they didn't offer international postage. I thought they might treat me as a fool if I asked regardless. I guess it's too late now, the auction's nearly over and I'd be looking at over 200 bucks for it, not including potential postage.

[BlueKrono]

Wow, those import charges are deadly, and even the standard shipping alone is more than double what it is in the States! Still, new from Sideshow I think the shipping was about $30, so really anything less than about $330 would be par for the course on this statue.

[triceratops83]

Does anyone know what company these belong to?

Those are made from the sinclair dinosaur molds. Those look to possibly be the later dfc castings from the late 70's early 80's. You can find originals for cheaper than that. They areabout the size of the Marx and Mpc figures

Thanks for the info. I was hoping they were Sinclairs, but I won't bother with them if they are knockoffs.

Cant get the link on my mobile, but ebay item #192015270578

Cheap price, theres an interesting plesiosaur in this lot for those interested

[BlueKrono]

Anyone wanna make an offer on a Tsukuda Brontosaurus? Don't think seller knows what they've got.

[Archinto]

I already tried. He wants $50 for it.

Edit: guy made me a good deal on this and one other figure, so call this bad boy mine!itll look so rad on my big sauropods shelf

[docronnie]

Congrats Archinto! :-)

[Archinto]

The seller has another Tsukuda available. The shipping to the USA is insanely cheap from that seller.
