one thing about second hand figurines is that people have a reason to want to get rid of them. It may be a tiny small scratch or something. better be safe than sorry…

^That figure is indeed expensive looking to the core. Are there 2nd hand figures on sale in ebay? I highly doubt so.

I myself have been in love with this one and creamed my pants when I saw it...then I crapped my pants when I saw the price! O_O *sigh* Too bad I don't have the finances for it... -_-

NARUTARDS!!! no… they actually appreciate a wide range of anime, but they are not medical students and have a lot of free time on their hands, so i don’t join their idling… i prefer finding my own anime to watch… anyway…

Even when i was in SG, with Sojourner’s comics connection membershipcard, the gundam models are still pretty costly… when i went to japan.. the prices were halved, bought 3 models in japan, boxes were damaged while checked in, but the insides weren’t broken thankfully… and those prices are similar on ebay too… i reckon that the prices are racked up in such retail shops.

@ Hynavian

P-Meister is living in Scotland atm while I am in Singapore. But I have to say that it is much easier for me to lay my hands on the goods as compared to him.

I guess the closest thing in his area that is related to anime/otaku culture is his university’s anime appreciation club which is most probably made up of… you know what.

I’m unfamiliar with ebay for yahoo auctions is my choice. Likewise in Yahoo Aucitons, the credentials of the seller is of utmost importance when bidding for a product.

However, If there’s a local merchandise stall nearby, nothing beats picking a brand new product by hand. Yes, they’re costly but it’s worth every penny. Scamming risks are also lowered to the minimum. Recommended for paranoid Otaku Figurine collectors.
