Yes - I watched when they had the "broken ankled" Shi listed at $50 starting bid,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

and they got no bites. I was going to at that price, but I forgot about it. When
I e-mailed the seller (toyboxxtoys) they said that they wouldn't sell it for the $50
and they were going to list it again until it sold. When relisted, the price was
then placed at the $130 BIN level for the same item.

I wouldn't bid on that $180 Kabuki Statue either - I just won this one last week:

She is now setting happily on my shelf, dinky little thing though she may be.

$65 is a lot better than $180!

Shi is early Moore (around '94), and not as finely detailed as his later pieces.

Shi is 1:6 scale (about 12" tall exclusive of the banners).

Kabuki is 1:9 scale (about 8" tall), released by Moore and sculpted by the Shifflet Bros.

Scumbags although they do state it clearly I would definitely not go through with it, tell them, offer them the listingfee and be done with it

Bulls add that to your initial post about the damage before others bid before they read, thats often a problem, but understandible.
Done leks. I thought the people who would bid would have read it. Sorry. But are they not repaired.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Thumbs up

Sorry Bulls I didnot mean to fault you because I don't, I do think if you bid you should have read it properly before and they state it clearly so the scumbag thing was not even necessary. But I can see how it might happen more easily now. Lots here trust your judgement so they might think it's ok and bid instantly and just do it without etc. etc. and than perhaps regret it.

When I read repaired I get chills down my spine

The better half loves the Moore Shi statue.
In fact, it's one of her faves.
