[glow=white,2,300]This all came about as until recently my best ever bargain was paying 20p (plus P&P) for a mint condition G2 Volt off of ebay. But I recently beat that by paying 1p each for Beast Wars Snarl and Spittor (and I even managed to get him to knock the P&P down for combined auction wins.....cheeky I know!  ) So I was just wondering has any ever scored any real TF bargains out there?[/glow] |

[glow=red,2,300]Best TF bargain has to be Blaster's cassettes (MINT) at a car boot sale for a pound. Sold them on ebay for a lot more. Would of kept them but didn't have the space.

I think my most bargainous hit on "teh ol' fleabay" would be my MISB Masterpiece Ultra Magnus MP-02 for £25.00 with £5.00 post and packing. What a nice man he was too.
Outside of "teh intarwebz" it would be a very good friend of mine clearing his Mater's house and plain giving me a selection of TF's which would amount to somewhere around 80 to 100, some complete, some with bits and some not. Plus I scored a bucket of 50 odd joes with biscuit tin full of accessories, a big hovercraft and a big helicopter.
I walked away from the complete Bravestarr, TMNT and near complete original MOTU lots on account of the missus kicking up a fuss...

Nope. I cant ever find bargains like that on ebay. [glow=orange,2,300]Okay I'll share one of my tips for finding cheap TF's on ebay. Use the advanced search option to look for items in the Transformers catagory in the UK with a maximum price of £1. Usually you will find about 3-400 items and every now and then you stumble across a real gem![/glow] |

Everytime I see a bargain I want to get it! (Like the Doubledealer I'm bidding on for 99p at the moment!) [/glow] |

I had bought the figure without the Targetmaster that it came with. Well for a year I kept looking for it and every time I fund one they wanted 45 to 50 bucks for it. One day I came across one that was for 15 bucks and it was in nice shape. I hopped on in and won it for 15 bucks. Somehow that little figure slipped through some people since I was the only bidder. |

Gold convoy masterpiece in a games workshop/comic book stylee shop for £60.00. Not sure what the going rate would be but I've heard their really rare? I did pick up a mint takara binaltech streak for £3.50 in my local christian charity shop together with G1 astrotrain for 20p! It amazes me still how most people dont know how collectible TF's are. It just makes me wonder what they're floggin on the days I can't get in there?!

[glow=orange,2,300]*spitting drink out* £60......if it's the one I'm thinking of only 10 (possibly 20) were produced and given away to people who returned points and were entered into a prize draw. You are looking at over £1000 worth of TF easily![/glow] |

Yay I just got another bargain off of ebay Target Allspark Bumblebee and Legends Bumblebee and Scorponok 2 pack for $0.99 each. Okay I still had to pay international shipping but it still works out less than buying them both in the UK!
