I have a big feeling that the guys in Japan saw how everyone here was going nuts over them yesterday and thought someone from here will buy it for that price.

Just FYI, the guys in Japan does watch this board and it's to the point where the prices gets set for auctions. So the more crazy we get, they will go and get the item and flip it easy. Just remember that we're all international stars!!!!

Just wantted to let everyone know what I think. The board is like the Wizard Magazine (price guide) for vinyl toys now. I mean, by reading this board, you can tell what is rare, what is done, what sucks and so on.....It's a great source for flippers in my opinion.

I don't think it matters if their english is good or not. All they have look at is a picture, number of views and posts, and how fast that page was built in a time. Like say yesterdays thread. In about 1 hr it was 5 pages long. The word" V3 Evil" popped up in alot of the posts made. Then the clear Chaos mini popped in there, and the page kept getting bigger and bigger. I don't think it's that hard to figure it out. Even just going to the "Wanted" section, there's people asking for the V3 before it even came out.

Just my thought

I just threw my Fungus Chaos into the trash. Bleh. Damn thing looked like pizza that had been left in the fridge for three weeks anyway. You call that a "toy?"

Will pay top dollar for Sket Circus Punk!

That seller, naokijb always shoots for the moon....and MOST of his listings on YJA end without bids.

I recall recently that he had the Junkspot Chaosman (Metallic green on black vinyl) for some ridiculous price like 45K yen and relisted a bunch of times....no bids. Just ignore that seller.

his gatchigon is a bid style format and is OK (something I've never seen), but this guy sucks ass, so fok 'im. I say let him keep the toys. he got in line and put the money in mori's hand. maybe if we never buy from him, he'll stop wasting his time buying toys he doesn't care about just so he can rip ppl off.

I remember hearing once that the ridiculously priced items on YJA were more offers to trade, rather than the work of an unreasonably greedy seller... I'm sure that's not always the case, though.

That's interesting. Could that then be the case with those $6000 bemons? The guy just wants to get something cool in exchange?

i tell you the truth, I didn't even notice view counts until you pointed it out and still couldn't understand who the hell would look at that thread 22,000 times.

I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy, whoa-oa-oa
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?

How abouts making the forum 'Members only' and you have to be logged in to view the posts.

This way we wouldnt worry about spreading the hype and jacking up the prices in the flipper market.

Woah- it is really unlike me to suggest somthing like this as I am pretty anti-elitism, but fuck it- when it starts effecting my wallet.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures- remember people

"Loose lips sink ships." :D

Whose to say there isnt known flippers on here now chatting with you and you just dont know it. Anyone can have a screen name and act like nothing is happening.

Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.
