If an original IM comiquette statue is valued at $800 to $1000, how much is a recast one worth? If u guys wanted an IM comiquette but can not afford one, would u buy a recast and for how much would u pay for one. Please advise, because I am considering buying one because I want to complete my comiquettes statues but one bring a recast.
That is quite low for an authentic EX.
I will chime in since it is mine he wants to buy. I had mine listed on eBay and had multiple offers; I made it
crystal clear in the auction that it was a recast. I also want to say that when I bought it, I DID NOT know that it was a recast, so at least he knows exactly what he is buying. It has the brown shipper, the grey SIDESHOW stamped styrofoam, and I have compared it to and original and the paint is identical; hell, the Tony Stark head on mine looks better than the original. The ONLY difference is that mine has a round foot peg.
Mclaren contacted me through eBay with an offer and
asked if I would end the auction and hold the statue until May 13th, which I agreed to if he promised not to back out.
He agreed to all terms and promised.
The agreed price that he offered to buy it from me for was $425. He started talking about import taxes, so I lowered it to $400 to try split the taxes with him. He then asks me to declare and insure it at $250 so that he doesn't have to pay taxes. I ask him what happens if the statue gets damaged or lost on the way and he starts telling me that the statue really has no value.
I told him I would lower the declared/insurance value to $250 if he pays by gift and he didn't want that option.
Just thought it would be fair to get the whole story out...
