You will get plenty of offer, you could get more money.

Thanks. I don't know if I would get a bid but I increased the price just in case. I know Zeus is high in price but which ones are considered rare or high value?


Your price may not be far off in total, but your still unlikely to sell it in one lot like that. It's a simple matter of most people not having half-a-thousand dollars to drop at once. I'd recommend splitting it up - and you can check the plastics price list if you really want to know what people here consider 'fair' in terms of pricing. That price list is more a suggestion than a rule, but I don't see anything in your lot that is going to go to much higher than what's stated on the price list. Zeus goes for appx $75 when NIB (assuming its Takara), maybe $50 if very good / mint.

The price list is posted by username 'Kaizer' something (FYI)

You have the following and are pricey.

I believe the Capricorn strike G is the most expensive in there. Someone in WBO was looking for it and willing to pay $150. Next is the Killer Eagle, it could worth $100 or more or less in real market, I don't know, cause I have not seen one recently!

You got the following: Zeus, Dark Effigy, Venusian G, Trygle 2 and you have brand new ones.

Try selling them individually. If you don't know the name. below is what I use to identify them and check the right parts. If not found below, I use google image to check, or ask here in WBO to identify it in the question thread.

Also advice on your picture: Show the bottom part, people will be attracted to buy if they see that.
- Capricorn Strike G is not worth $150 .. A Takara is much more valuable and should only be worth $100 max.

- NIB RB12 Prize Killer Eagle should be $120 or so, therefore Hasbro's is worth way less and should be around the $50-65 range.

- Dark Effigy G should be $60 and under.

- Zeus is $30-50 range if it's Hasbro because it lacks the Takara's Engine Gear, which is whats most special about it despite it not having much use.

That price will cause a huge uproar.
sporkseller's prices as of late tend to do that...
It does list as a best offer though also, everyone knows he won't get that for it. Weren't his prices like absurdly low before though?

If there is something I've listed that is NOT the lowest price on eBay for an identical item, please let me know. The Advanced Starter set aside, I'd still say my prices are among (if not THE) lowest for what I'm selling especially if shipping charges are considered (though I do not have control over what eBay estimates those shipping charges to be).

As for the GT set, I priced it such that it would encourage eBay users to contact me here via PM to work out the actual deal (as instructed in the item details section). Figured it would a) drive traffic to the WBO, b) help me avoid paying eBay their soul-crushing fees, and c) drive views to my other listings at the same time.

Most of my customers will confirm that I'm an "approachable" seller, and I'd hope anyone interested in that set would take the time to contact me versus passing it off as a ridiculous price.

On a side note, the most recent one listed was used and went for $650 according to the seller (who originally bought it new from me for LESS than he sold it later used).
Considering this one that went for more used, its not that bad http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beyblade-Dragoon...7675.l2557

I think you misunderstood somewhat.

Your prices cause a huge uproar, whether they are wonderfully super low or what seems to be a very high price (which admittedly doesn't happen as often as it used to).

I have nothing against you or your shop, and I have no reason to. Don't worry about it haha.

Thanks. I didn't mean it to be defensive. I honestly try to base my inventory purchase selections on the single question "can I sell it for less than anyone else on eBay and still make at least a small profit?" If yes, I buy and list the item. If no, I pass. That's what I meant - if my price is higher than other's fixed price listings I honestly would like to know. The GT set is one of those that can serve other purposes (e.g. advertising - though negative backlash is an undesirable possibility as well).

Of course I may overspend on things I want for my own collection or things I think might flush out a super rare item in trade. (though I've all but given up on HMS custom try set and bloody devil ms, figuring that if shining god ms didn't bring them out then probably nothing will)
You know, slight deviation from the topic but somewhat relevant, there used to be some Bloody Devil MS on eBay for 40 USD for the longest time. When I finally got the funds to buy it from the seller, both Bloody Devil and the Samurai Changer MS (those were 50) had been bought out completely by this one buyer who bought the last 5 of each of them.

Man, seeing those bookmarked links show 'Listing has ended' was one of the most infuriating things I have ever experienced as a blader.

On topic though, best of luck to finding HMS. You have a significantly better chance since you can actually use a Paypal and YJA (hint hint right now), but in general your store is very much excellent when it comes to prices. Just that you sell out of the HMS I want by the time I can buy them. >>
thats probally not a good idea... look at th shipping and the description/disclamer and what is that yellow one that looks like a frizbee?

There are complete beyblade in there with all orginal parts. most of them actually. only 2 have missing SF, and one with broken parts.

But in ebay, you need to minimize the expectation of the buyers, or else they will leave you negative feedback if you made them not happy. So I never use "Mint" on my listings although I have "mint" items.

Also shipping is so reasonable, considering it comes with the stadium and all the pieces. I even think I will spent more in the actual shipping.

Some other decent listings new today as well - check 'em out!!
I call dibs on Shining god MS. NOBODY ELSE HERE GETS IT, CAPICHE?! I will probably also get the HMS Grip but i dunno.
Whoever is bidding on the Shining God MS now is not thinking straight AT ALL.

Auctions only go up. If you try to start a stupid bidding war as soon as a damn auction is put up, the price will end so ridiculously high that you'll be at a loss because you'd be overspending and everyone else would be lucky that they got out of such an auction.

Ah well I was hoping to get that Shining God MS in a trade, but I might have to try and buy it now if I can...
I swear to god, NO ONE IS GETTING THAT SHINING GOD MS BUT ME. It's my birthday around when it ends so ;(
EDIT: I agree with what Ga' said. I would wait till the end.
As much as I love the beyblade, I'm not silly enough to dish out 250 dollars on a single beyblade with a budget like mine, so considering the nature of most eBay bidders and their tendency to have no use for their brains I'm probably not going to win it.
Lulz can I get a hell yeah. I'm getting it, I don't care what the price.
Really? That's a shame, bro. I might as well put my bid of $500 in now if you're just going to win it anyway...
