original Jurassic Park dinosaurs, JP Jeep, some Definitely Dinosaurs and a Battat Tyrannosaurus
https://www.ebay.com/usr/desertroselover

The Battat Tyrannosaurus is actually the release by Terra and is way overpriced with a starting bid of $35 considering it's around $10 in stores.

Ah, Ebay! Shades of Barnum and Bailey.

If anyone is interested in that small version of the Kaiyodo Camarasaurus; it's in with this odd assortment.

It is the Waiphoon bootleg.

Consider it was 27 items of the more rare bunch -
that is 25$ per one figure - Not so expensive ...
you might say, cheap. very cheap.

It seems to include multiple models though, reading down the listing.

Shonisaurus

Precisely I bought a member of the forum that sells eBay products tyrantnosaurus Battat "feet of snow" and I can assure you that it cost me a whopping 430 dollars. I bought it last night. If all goes well and I get the products and I would only be Battat the Tyrannosaurus rex 1st version and the dilophosaurus 1st version of Battat 1994.

It seems that the Battat vendors are unleashed.

SidB

Did you know, Shonisaurus, that there is an old, original Boston Museum of Science Battat Ceratosaurus (geen) with a
DOWNTURNED tail. It is very rare. I know that it exists, but I've never seen one for sale on EBay. Even Dan Lorusso didn't know about it, as it was a factory modification. It is the direct ancestor of the new Battat Terra Ceratosaurus, which is identical, except for the new paint job.

without disclosure of names or users and on a general level, I think it is unappropriate and even worthy of condemnation for some extent, that senior and experienced DTF members take advantage so bluntly the luck of good judgment, first enthusiasm, weeknesses ,inexperience, shortcomings and limitations of new or other DTF members.
It almost like this place has also joined other notorious web places where the weak fall prey to others .
and I hold myself back not to say more ...

Me either!
I'm glad that it's obviously not only because of my lacking English skills.

Let me make sure I am getting this correct: are you saying that unexperienced members (like Shonisaurus) are getting taken advantage of/ripped off? Please correct me if I am making a mistake or misreading you somehow.

If so, I think your heart is in the right place, but I would also say that it takes two to tango. As far as I know, no-one is holding a gun to Shoni's head and making him purchase that Battat.

Without casting aspersions towards Shonisaurus, we may have some forum members who no doubt are vulnerable to more worldly wise or potentially unscrupulous sellers (be they forum members or eBay sellers). Some collectors can become blind to cost when chasing their perceived grails. Monsterhouse is particularly well known for scalping but can be seen by some as offering a service.

I think Brontoscorpio is correct in raising awareness of profiteering. I'm all for free market and reflective values but $430 seems high to me but Battat figures are not that high on my list of desireable figures (places head back beneath the parapet)

Hopefully Shonisaurus this is within your budget and not causing you financial instability.
