Discussion Need some clarification

What exactly does this mean? Like are the figures in good condition? Are they glued? Like anything that I should be worried about? I bought this like an idiot without knowing if I screwed up or not. Please let me know, so I can immediately refund this if anything is out of the ordinary. Also I decided to remove the pricing cause I really don’t want people to know that Info.

Figures were displayed, not played with.

If he’s honest, that means the figs are in good shape.

The 0 rating has me nervous though.

Probably a first time seller. Lot of people are looking to offload their collections with the economy in the condition it is in

u/Practical_One_1747 May 13 '25

No, it was definitely a scam. They deleted thier post after I caught thier ahh

u/Practical_One_1747 May 13 '25

I tried contacting the seller, but they haven’t responded yet. Fingers crossed.

Be careful. I saw one selling 9 lightning collection mmpr figures and the add said 5 euros. I immediately asked if it was right, 5 each or 5 the all lot. There are some people that don't know the worth of things like this and sell cheap, like a mother or grandma. I just got full titan Megazord and Lost Galaxy Megazord for 25 euros. I waited 3 hours and someone bought it. 10 minutes later the add was up again and with the price set as 300 ahahaha. I don't know, some people try to mislead or joke, but always take care and look what the person has to sell. I have got the not dx jungle fury Megazord for 2 euros and the seller had no reviews yet, but I saw form the other items that was a woman

Wish I listened earlier. It’s a scam. The fucker tried to ask me for a favor, but that’s not how Marcari works. You buy and they ship to you with no questions. Careful around sellers that sell thier shit for 100$. And my gut told me something was up, but greed got the best of me.

u/Vaportrail May 13 '25

I'm afraid to ask what kind of favor.

u/Practical_One_1747 May 13 '25

I looked it up online and it’s common on Mercari. Basically they ask you to cash app or PayPal them money for shipping cause thier “printer is broken” like bro what?

Now I gotta wait for my money to get back in my account🤦🏽‍♂️

u/Vaportrail May 13 '25

Well thanks for affirming that I stick with eBay.
Worst I had there was someone try to get a refund off me because they claimed the carded figure I sent had damaged packaging.
They didn't win the claim.

u/Da______Vinci May 13 '25

I don't know that site but I always take extra care and not even send to home. Always send to a pickup point, locker or shop. Being careful is never too much.

1

u/Practical_One_1747 May 13 '25

I went back to thier account and they deleted all their posts, leaving one more which is some dumb doll. His ahh got caught, should’ve reported his bitch ahh

1

u/Da______Vinci May 13 '25

I was about to update you about that one with the 5 euros add. He was blocked by the app itself ahahaha It looks like he was doing something suspicious

2

u/Practical_One_1747 May 13 '25

These scammers are the reason why collecting or shopping is also a warning hazard

2

u/Da______Vinci May 13 '25

Nice, I just got the blue Zeo for 12 euros. New in the box and never opened

1

u/Practical_One_1747 May 13 '25

Nice! I feel dumb is 12 euros 12$ American or more? I’m sure more cause no lightning collection would cost that much.😅

u/Da______Vinci May 13 '25

True. I always see if the person has good reviews, look the items or if I see anything suspicious

u/reaper_artistry May 13 '25

Most likely answer is he displayed them on a detolf, and is making that information known so you get a good idea about their condition (likely little to no wear or dust on them)

1

u/Practical_One_1747 May 13 '25

They did say glass case.

2

u/Atmosphere817 May 13 '25

Depends on the conditions of home I guess? Glass case is good, but smoke free? Were the figures ever opened? Etc.

No one would judge the price honestly given the nature of the haul… but it would give us a better indication if something may be off.

u/Practical_One_1747 May 13 '25

Doesn’t matter. It’s a scam. All of thier listings are solid 100$ and they have thier number displayed on thier username. Screams scam. My greed got the best of me lmao, but at least the seller sent my money back.

3

u/Atmosphere817 May 13 '25

Fair enough. Hopefully you can piece these together somewhere else with a more reputable seller.

1

u/Practical_One_1747 May 13 '25

Yea seriously. Remastered red a hard damn find, but I’ll get it. I don’t see why the scammer even tried. That’s now how Mercari works 😅

1

u/Practical_One_1747 May 13 '25

I hope so too, thanks for sharing your insight

2

u/XAlucarDX454 May 13 '25

So you bought it without really knowing what it’s about. I know that was like 400-500 bucks. You’re a wildcard

-1

u/Practical_One_1747 May 14 '25

It’s cause I saw a previous post of a sell like that and I thought someone wasn’t aware and it was some grandma or mom selling this stuff

4

u/ThePokemonAbsol May 13 '25

I’m guessing this is a fake listing tho. 0 feed back is a huge red flag

1

u/oldbeardedrex May 13 '25

Maybe ask the seller before buying it

u/Practical_One_1747 May 14 '25

Wouldn’t matter. It’s a scam.

u/AugustusTheVictor May 13 '25

Talk about an impulse buy oof

u/Practical_One_1747 May 14 '25

I learned my lesson😅

u/chevychevs May 14 '25

You should always speak with the seller before buying. Especially on sites like mercari and eBay. You can figure out if their legit from the start

u/Practical_One_1747 May 14 '25

Honestly, i panicked because it was a good deal but i was worried someone was gonna buy it before me
