I noticed C-3P0 and R2-D2 at the top of the "My Ebay" page, and it led me to this well-designed page for Star Wars; check it out!

That makes me a bit skeptical. I don't understand how it could be up to that much. Is it solid gold under the paint??? Nice figure... but hardly very original. Bland paint scheme, and kitbashed part swapping. I'd love to know his secret. I can't see how that could be worth that much. People are crazy.

Gonna have to agree with AFE on this one. Don't get me wrong, I think it looks great, but $425?  I don't see how anyone in their right mind would bid something up that high, ofcourse it is ebay and sometimes it defies all logic.

If thats the case it might mean the customs market is starting to get good on ebay again.

I sent him a PM. I also found him on Facebook. If I can I'll get him to join the yards. I must know his secret! :D

That would be awesome AFE. I hope he at least messages you back. Is there anyway to see his previous auctions and see if they went this high? Maybe this is a Star Wars Celebrity making customs? Now I could understand that price if that was the case.

Not according to his Facebook page. His name is Chris (actual last name not given). Says he's been doing it sine 2005. So far I haven't heard from him.

I've checked the bid history a few times now. It looks quite odd. With a lot of the bidders upping their bids to astronomical levels without counter bids. It started at $10, then to about $40 then to $78 then to $100 on to $200. All of which looks like a legit competition. Then there are only 2 bidders. One bidder keeps upping his max bid and the second counters ever 5 or so bids with only 1 increment. The bidder raises his bid first by 2 $5 increments, then quickly by $10 increments. Could be a proxy is working with him and they've hooked a fish. Or it's 2 proxies and they're hoping that someone will come along and put a final bid on the item and win it for a large some of money. As for his current other items it's mostly loose mint figures all with bids. His next most expensive item is only at $30. In my experience it's very rare to have every single item someone is selling have bids on them, and for more than a tiny amount.

How is he doing this??? We must find out!

Well maybe he is just getting lucky and I wish him well. Still it is a great custom and definitely worth a good price, but I don't know that I have ever seen a three and three quarter custom go for this high.

Innocent until proven guilty, but the thought had crossed my mind.

Hmmmmmm What do you know. This looks very familiar. The style. The use of the softgoods kama and belt... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-Custom-MANDALORIAN-WARRIOR-w-REMOVABLE-HELMET-2-BLASTERS-/320872326655?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab57b25ff

and if you check the jet pack paint apps. They're the exact same style.

I've got a bad feeling about this...

Well we aren't the customs police force, but I do feel some loyalty to all customizers regardless of the line and its up to us to not begrudge someone good ebay luck. However, that being said if something is happening that could hurt all customizers its communities like this and your blogs and your Facebook Pages to make everyone aware.
