Yes, I'm disappointed there isn't a passenger car, too. Still, I'll be buying one for sure...

Re: Question for Resellers - How do you ship the Death Star?

However any good parent should just force their children to watch the first Star Wars just to watch The Empire Strikes Back. :) We did actually make him watch part of IV when he was pretty young, and he just had no interest in it at all. He doesn't like Harry Potter either. He's an Avatar fan - wis...

Re: Question for Resellers - How do you ship the Death Star?

I'm sorry peeps, but The New Hope 2 was only 'ok'. Are you referencing the fact that Episode VII was practically Episode IV with new characters? If so, I'd definitely agree. Also, Episode V was the best Star Wars movie IMO. I still like IV the best - it was the first PG movie I was ever allowed to ...

Re: Question for Resellers - How do you ship the Death Star?

Just ask the person who buys it how they want it shipped. Don't read that wall of text. Just simply ask the buyer what he'd like. If it's not too much more expensive do it as he/she likes. As it happens, I double-boxed it - it really only cost a couple more dollars and shipping overall was far less...

I was at our local Target last Thursday (checking out the clearance aisle) and didn't see anything. Will have to check back - thanks for the heads up.

Re: Question for Resellers - How do you ship the Death Star?

My son's lack of interest in Star Wars continues to puzzle me and my husband - it was formative for both of us when we were his age. I hung onto this last (I had collected several) SW set hoping he'd get interested, but at this point it seems foolish to continue to tie up the money in it when he's d...

Question for Resellers - How do you ship the Death Star?

I have had a sealed DS for several years, waiting for my son to get interested in Star Wars. Well, after having had to drag him to see Force Awakens last year with the rest of the family (he thought it was "okay", but it didn't inspire him to sit down and watch any of the other movies) I'v...

Re: ebay - buyer of a sealed set claims piece is wrong colou

I hate when stuff like this happens. Hopefully your explanation will be enough, but if not, I agree with hushed - just mail them the part. It's definitely worth it in the long run to preserve your feedback rating, especially if you intend to continue selling.

Re: I've had my first chargeback - advice on fighting it?

Paypal *SHOULD* protect you with their seller protection policy if you sent it with signature + to his confirmed address. Call up Paypal. Make sure you call them. That's the only way to handle it with them, as you can explain it to that person. The chargeback credit card company will most likely si...

Wow that really sucks. I hate how dishonest people are. I have no advice because I haven't sold anything yet but I do have some pricier sets that I have been thinking about selling. I am very interested in what happens so please update as this plays out. Also, as a seller, can you refuse to sell so...

Re: I've had my first chargeback - advice on fighting it?

You did your part, even if it was unauthorized -that's ebays/paypals problem, that's why tracking is important. But now cheaters try with the unauthorized purchase since they can't say it wasn't delivered. With big sets I always worry, so make sure you ship it properly and safely. I only ship inter...

Same thing on the same set happened to me maybe month ago, unauthorized purchase, feedback was 0 or something like that, I used ups to ship it for like $130 and tracking said delivered, call PayPal and ask to have it resolved right away while you are on the phone, be nice though, they took care of ...

I've had my first chargeback - advice on fighting it?

So, even though my son had (and has) no interest in Star Wars, I couldn't resist buying a Super Star Destroyer during the Target glitch. I decided this fall that it was finally time to let it go (and buy a few sets he actually wants instead, like the Tumbler), so I sold it on eBay last week. Althoug...

Well, you've sold me on this set. I've been completely uninterested in the Simpsons line to date, but I think this one will make it into our house. Thanks for the review!
