Hello guys.

I have an extremely rare bootleg item for sale, and i decided to put it on auction. I know that on RS its not permitted to mention auctions to draw more attention on an item, but here i didn't find any restrictions like this, when I quickly went thru both the terms and the FAQ.

Since i would like people who would be interested to know about the item, i would like to post it here - if its okay.

Thanks.

Ahhh and as far as i can see maybe this wasn't even the best place to post this question... sorry.

Hi,

We have a policy here not to link to ebay in FS threads.

If you want to sell, maybe first try here or on another forum, then on ebay?

Good luck with the sales.


SELLING*/TRADING - If you are selling/trading an item you must actually own the item and have access to the item. It must belong to you solely and, if requested by a moderator, be available for verification. Please show your own photos of the actual item and list a price. You can also add a Best Offer. Linking to other forums to show your FS is not allowed nor is posting eBay links. If you’re unsure of the value of an item then you are welcome to ask for help in the Vintage Chat section of the forum. Please provide some sort of feedback link to your previous sale history or reference to you as a seller.

Thanks Marco for the really quick answer.

Are there any bootleg forums where its permitted to mention / link auctions? Or its like this everywhere?

Thanks.

No problem.

I think it is safe to say that many of the most knowledgable bootleg collectors visit TIG's Outer Realm and/or Rebelscum on a regular base. This is probably the audience you are looking for, as these collectors know how to appreciate a rare bootleg piece.

I am not aware of other bootleg fora. Maybe others can help you with this.

Hi Marco,

Thanks again - if the others would give any other advice, it would be more than appreciated. Someone on RS told me to post about the auction on SWFUK, as they even have an "EBAY auctions" subtopic... But the search for SWFUK basically led me back to here. Do you know where exactly can i find this forum?

Also you are not the first who adviced me to try to offer the figure here on these forums, but the auction is already up.

Thank you.

I wouldnt be worried if I were you. Be sure all the bootleg guys already saw it! I am pretty sure they ALL saw it

Good luck my friend

Hi Wolff,

Thanks for your words and the support.. Lets say i am not worried, i am just trying to do my best to reach the people who would be seriously interested - that's also the reason why i was asking the help of a know collector for the sale, as even though i made some deals in the past with some bootleg collectors, i think i am still not a well know / respected member of the community. Especially as in the last 2 years my interest turned more into movie poster collecting, so i couldn't spend a lot of time with my SW obsession, and to socialize more with other collectors.

Thank you!

I know you...and I respect you and trust you (and I am pretty sure the samll bootleg world does too ).....sadly I do not collect MOCs

Again: All the best!

Wolff,

You embarass me...
