I was thinking of buying this for my birthday present (to myself!)......

I've got no reason to think it's dodgy but it does seem cheaper than the normal issues I've seen. Not being an expert, and after looking at the comedy sale page, I thought I'd ask those more knowledgeable than myself if it looks legit?

 

Cheers.

 

Would need to check it against mine but looks OK from initial look

It's the real deal on styrene. Generally the Atlantic styrene copies are OK quality if not worn. This guy says this copy to be mint (unplayed)...

Avoid eBay's global shipping. They break records as they re pack, leave valuable records on the doorstep as the are sent by the cheapest courier and screw you for import chsrges. 

Record seems ok though.

Totally right. I did not pay attention to that. I always ask if the sellers would consider to re-listy the item skipping that Global Shitting Program and with as many reasons and as to whys that no rational thinking human could not consider dropping that rip off game the eVilBay is pulling. But still, some don't want to. But there it also syas "No additional import charges on delivery" ! It's the first time I see that. And how can that be ?

Global shipping always states "no additional import charges" . This is because you pay it all up front, in this case $62, then you don't get the additional post office handling fee. 

Cheers for the answers... especially pointing out the import charges, I hadn't spotted that one. I also didn't know it is a styrene version, something else I'm not too keen on, I might hold fire until another version comes up.

Hello,

Why not offer this guy $225 - he can only say "no". Vinyl copy, no global shipping, postage $11

Worth a try

Good things come to those that wait...

I put a maximum bid of £120 on a nice clean copy on ebay from the UK and won it at the weekend.

It was close though, the other bidder got up to £119 before they gave up, happy days!
