I sent them a question, asking if there has been some mistake.
I'm betting it was supposed to be $4.99.

No wonder there are 4 hours left to bid, and so far no-one has. Wow, you'd think the guy checks up on his offer once in a while

If it was pro-painted, it would have been $600 shipping to protect the figures.

looks like some pretty great RT stuff, I've always wanted to paint that terminator variant with the gigantic shoulderpads. Not sure if I want it enough to pay $499 shipping on it, though.

Could he have taken a worse photo? Seriously, spend 30 seconds spreading out the models. Looks like her threw them down and snapped a picture or two.

it is economy shipping... but the handling must be the problem... perhaps he only lets his models be handled by lepricons on unicons.. neither of which is cheap to rent.. and while adorable have you tried making a lepricon box anything they spout jibberish and throw glass mugs at you the whole time ignoreing all instruction while clutching thier lucky charms

Can't see the post from work...but just a thought that many Far East sellers list their items for really cheap and then charge exhorbitant shipping costs. All in an effort to scam ebay out of their share of the sale. Ebay gets a percentage of the low sale price and the seller keeps all, but the smallest fraction of the shipping costs. QED.
These are the same kinds of people who list brand new tenor saxophones on ebay for $99 and then charge $800 for shipping...

Its a shame too, a number of those metal figures regularly sell for $25 a piece too... combine that with the RT era sprues... with better attention to the details the seller could have made $200+.

I think a better question would be, asuming it was a mistake, what would you do if the buyer went to checkout and paid in full.

The surprising thing is that someone actually bid on it. Shipping price is one of the first things I look at. These models better come with packed in gold with silver bows.
