Are you talking about the store located in Russia? If so, you won't be able
to buy from them right now.

How would you know for sure though? Everyone knows selling fakes on bricklink
can get you in serious trouble.


Excuse me.... but you're talking about the 4000$ Boba for 24$ and hoping
it's legit?

Mmmmh - I can't see any word that could describe what I think.

Because it's a Russian seller with no orders to his store and only 5 items
listed for sale and he happens to own 1/2 of the new Cloud City Boba Fett's
for sale on Bricklink in the world and they're priced at a 99% off of expected
sale price... use common sense.

Brand new store with zero orders and 5 of a very rare item at a very low price?
I would be very surprised if it were legit.

Hardly serious trouble. The most bricklink will do is ban a seller. That is not
a great deal to a new store especially if they don't plan on Selling longer
term or they didn't use genuine details when registering.

What I don't get is why one wouldn't ask say $500 for that minifig. That's
high enough to get people thinking it might possibly be legit. $24 is just ludicrously
low.

Doesn't even matter right now, seeing how Russia is off-limits. He can price
them for a cent if he wants, he can't get any buyers.

Can't get any buyers ... through the official bricklink channels. But he
can advertise them here, buyers find them, contact the seller and deal through
messages instead.

Probably scam to get orders. You order, then they'll just refund you saying
they don't have it. It's beyond me why anyone would do that, but i've
seen it happen multiple times.

Yes, please link it. I click on the about me button but it only goes to mine,
not theirs.

Bingo. Look at who Jen was replying to.

I agree. I was a bit surprised at Jen's comment. If it was just a joke, it
didn't come across as one.

Careful, it's not PC agreeing with popsicle! Openly anyway.
