 Ojo Custom
Was this one of the customs sold at the Tentacles, Horns and Scales Show @ Thrashout?  Probably my favorite Martin custom to date. I'll be interested to see if/where it hammers out (especially with the 25% buyers premium - Ouch!).

 Re: Ojo Custom
Nope. It was specifically painted up for the auction. It is indeed a nice one.

Free advertising and whatnot. That 25% buyer's premium is hefty, you should request a cut Freebase...

It's only slightly higher then the SDCC Ojo?! Wait until the auction ends and see how much it is, plus the 25% fee on top off the closing price.

 Re: Ojo Custom
Certain auctions tend to slip in a buyer's premium in the fine print.
The one on these toys is 25% so tack on an additional 25% to the total of your winning bid and that's the premium added to the purchase.
The Ojo's not priced excessively but always try to avoid any auctions which hit me for buyer's premiums.
