is this legit??? Something about the paint scheme is throwing me off. The eyes arn't traditional and there is no pollution stains out the back. Or is this a fan custom?

Not all bemons have the multi-colored "pollution stains" down the back.

I am sure it was because of spam, if you have anything other than what the item is in the title and someone doesn't like you and they report it to ebay that will end the auction. I know alot of people here don't like me and I had two bemons up a while back and they got cancelled because someone reported me. I just sold them to boardmembers for a good price.

yeah I got these two that don't have the pollution stains on them and I know for sure they are real HP's, also what do you think traditional eyes look like (just curious)? I have seen ones that have two different colored eyes even.

this is one of (old board member) Geo's with different colored eyes, even the little glare dots are multi colored.

if you check out that auction , though, it was ended by the seller.

if it was spam the link would show a different page about it not meeting their policies (at least that's my experience in auctions i was bidding on being cancelled).

VGA everytime I see that yellow/blue one of your's I get jealous. And Geo's photos of his are what made me take the Bemon leap. thanks for the hook up by the way.

I think my favorite thing about the Bemon is the family photos that came with them.

Who knew these things would be this in demand. I wish I had more than one...

Chances are someone offered the seller a price he couldn't refuse to end the auction early. Whenever I list something really rare on Ebay I immediately get offers to sell outright. I never accept though :twisted:

I just couldn't get into the Bemon at all, so I saw a set of different pictures and just stared at them for about 20 minutes....CLICK! They're so ugly and creepy that I guess it had to slowly seep into my consciousness. Guess the point is moot since I can in no way afford them!

They're a great alternative to the clean smooth lines of other toys.

Bemons, Anraku, Exohead are probably my top 3 favorite...although after getting some pinstipe Zurai Azu's and Bakurasu's, Cronic is pulling up fast.

I hate when people 'buy-out' auctions. It's the most frustrating thing in the world to see something going for a low price that disappears a few hours before it ends.

I hear you - I've lost out on items that I would have paid much more than what they ended the auction for. It used to be against Ebay's policies as well, I believe, but in general it just sucks.

When the price is low near the end and it gets pulled, it's just the seller not wanting to sell for a low price, and they're too cheap to list with a reserve price. That's the lamest tactic of all!

This just happened to me with the gargamel yellow hedoran on ebay. I guess the guy didn't want to sell at $50.
