Hm, just checked Grooveman76, but it seems his store is empty...?

He had stuff in there the other day. Wonder if the online exposure got him or her caught doing something on the dark side?

Yeah, as mentioned above he only uploads once a month or so. But when he does he sells about 200+ figures and people bid enough that he could live from that 'til the next lot goes up for sale.
I'll share some pictures on the seperate topic on where these auctions ended...crazy prices!

Yeah, don't worry. He uploads those lots once a month or every 5 weeks. The last auctions brought some serious money, again! So I think he can make a good living from ebay!

Click here to see the full offerings from the eBay Power Seller known as Sinodolls!

Odd enough that I received a push-notification by ebay today that sinodolls listed 4,208 new items. But I cannot find his store anymore. The links you provided for almost all Asian power sellers don't work anymore. We were talking about this the other day. No matter which international version of ebay I use, they seem to be gone. Have toy companies like Hasbro actually taken action against this black market for loose toys? I mean even mighty TungHori seems to struggle getting the latest figures in recently...

Yeah, I am thinking they are all pretty much out of business. I need to get into that thread one day and either remove or fix the links.

I won the auction for this Droid Factory 2-Pack back in August. Actually I planned to pick 'em up in person because I really admire the seller though I never met him.
Thanks to him I could add various figures of TAC and TLC to my collection.
Eventually I had to stop trying and paid an extra 6€ for shipping.
Today Don Fisto and his droid arrived. I can now proceed and delete my account on ebay.
It's the second time I was active on this crap club. 2013-2020 was a good time mostly.
But when I started selling on ebay myself in 2021, the trouble began.
Some other buyers have weird expectations. And feebay kept 330€ of my money for 4 whole months! I'm outta here and on my way out of consuming, too!

There are better ways to enjoy this hobby.

Cool that you got this set - I really like it. Sorry about the ebay woes. I've had a generally good experience with ebay, but I don't sell and I don't use any of the international ebays (just the US). I also don't actually buy that much.

Well, I deleted my account on ebay. But one power seller is back with some interesting listings.
Lots of TVC figures without their head. Could this be the reason why mighty TungHori has trouble getting his hands on the latest figures? Maybe Hasbro changed the way of production in order to prevent product piracy and theft.

I'm going to take some screenshots.

But with all 3D printed heads available out there, this is customizing heaven right here!

Check this out!


https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ssn=reteexchange&store_name=retexchange&_oac=1
















These seem to be all bodies available at the moment. Some sets are already sold out.
No surprise at $2.30 per body...

Update: ebay offers check-out as guest, now! So I was able to buy 5 sets with a total of 28 figure bodies. I'll post an update when they arrive in about 10-30 days.
My experience with retexchange so far were all good!

I was hoping to find these listings on AliExpress, but couldn't find them. So I'm glad that I could buy on ebay with PayPal, but without an account.

Update: The figures arrived in two separate parcels only 9 days after I placed my order as guest on ebay!







They were even so kind to replace the second Armorer figure with a body of Luminara Unduli. And instead of a second AOTC Obi-Wan body they gave me a TVC Nikto Skiff Guard!
I can recommend this seller. Would you believe that these are my first two TVC Death Star Gunners? They scream CUSTOM to me! I'm going to complete them with a TSC Death Star Gunner Helmet.

Glad this seemed to work out for you. I was able to get a bunch of bodies without heads from an ebay vendor with a different vendor name...but it looks amazingly similar, hmmm....I'll have to look the vendor up again.

Thanks Jeff! Well, that's very likely because there are a hand full of different power sellers with almost identical assortments on ebay. I'm sure they belong to the same corporation.
I used to buy from the cheapest seller, can't remember their username, but I do remember that viperskingdom was a different one.
