Fucked Up
So everyone knows that the Transformers movie is coming out soon. As a result, there has been a huge increase in demand for the old Transformers toys, like the ones we played with as kids. I was looking for stuff on ebay when I noticed a banner which took me to all the Transformers auctions. I had browsed some thirty-five pages just looking at different auctions until I came across one that caught my eye. This particular auction was for the three original Insecticons Transformers that were still in their original packaging. The First Generation Transformers were being sold all over the place on ebay, so it wasn't a surprise to me. This was the first auction for three original Transformers in their original packaging though, so I had to check it out. It was a bit pricey ($550 for the starting bid, $625 for Buy it Now), and I wasn't all that interested, until I read the description. The dude who was selling them doesn't actually own the products, they really belong to his son. His son is supposedly and avid collector of Transformers and has hundreds in his collection, pretty much all of them are in their original packaging. This has taken him years to accumulate and now his father is selling them on ebay to the highest bidder. His reason for selling? His son is off serving our country, and thinks his son has no more use for them. That's pretty fucked up, if you ask me.
You all know what I would do if someone tried to sell something that I had spent years collecting and was worth thousands of dollars. This guy has no real reason to sell his SON'S collection, only that it's taking up space. I could understand if the son told his father that he didn't want them anymore, but the page didn't indicate that. I think the father simply assumed that this son has no more use for them. I'm pretty angry at the moment, it's getting hard to type properly. Post your comments.
New Hot or Not coming soon...
