Yep, that looks to be one of the 80s bootlegs. The prices on them can kind of be all over the place from what I have seen, but I have seen a few of them really sell for a lot (for what they are). But with Goji, anything goes is pretty much status quo.Alebrije wrote:マルサンブルマァク・元型?ゴジラ・未彩色・ソフビ怪獣
I think it's a bootleg, maybe from the 80's?

More of just a forewarning/deterrent to flakey buyers that this thing is massive and heavy, and coming from Japan, so know what you are getting into first. I have no doubt this was sold in person/something arranged directly. The ebay 'listing' was just used as free advertising by Mandarake. Which, I agree, is not what the site is set up for, but comes as no surprise.
In this case, I don't really have any particular issue with it, given the item, and that Mandarake is a shop (which already has its own auction, online store, and catalogue - but whatever ). But I find this trend incredibly frustrating and for that call BS on the behaviour as a whole. With sellers constantly being able to just end listings at a whim for any old excuse they make (i.e. mistake in the listing, item not available, item broken, etc., etc.) without any fallout at all on them, I am not surprised it has turned into this. Personally, I hate it, because sellers - and the buyers who contact them with loads of cash or whatnot - are taking an end-run around the system, and it is not the free market of an auction at all. Ebay has obviously decided to turn a blind eye to this behaviour though, as it is nothing new and has become very commonplace. Just another aspect we all have to take from there being a virtual monopoly by ebay and Paypal, which ultimately the buyers have to suffer.Yep, that looks to be one of the 80s bootlegs.
