UofMUSCLE.com – M.U.S.C.L.E. Figures from Mattel

This was the first M.U.S.C.L.E. listing I saw on eBay. I was going to make him an AOTW combatant, but I’m getting bored of these listings. Pointing them out feels like playing the same emotionless note again and again.

– How does one settle on $137.87?
– Can’t complain about this $0.01 listing.
– C’mon dude.
– C’mon Canada.
– Haven’t seen a FLAF in quite some time.
– Or maybe I haven’t been paying attention.
– What is more bizarre? The price or the lot assortment.
– At least it’s starting at $0.99.
– Think there will be shenanigans?

Has anyone else noticed the polls acting strange? Has anyone had trouble voting? I hope not. Because I can’t figure out why it is doing it on my end and that means I probably can’t fix it either. Fingers crossed.

Last week we gained another AOTW winner, which means we need four new combatants. Luckily (I guess) there is never a shortage of combatants.

The AOTW #1 is a completely pedestrian 28-pack with a $74.99 BIN. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a mint, unopened 28-pack sell for this much money.

I mentioned that I’m getting a bit fatigued with redundancy of terrible single figure listings. But the AOTW #2 felt like he was worth highlighting. He has a $19.99 BIN for a Dark Blue #34 figure (a Class C figure).

The AOTW #3 wasn’t exclusively picked because he is an ugly painted figure, but it did help. He was also selected because he has a $35 BIN – which is $6 more than the sellers other ugly figures.

Finally, the AOTW #4 is a long-time…let’s call it “contributor” to the website – most recently appearing in AW #277. She has a $120.60 BIN on a figure that fairly recently sold for $10.50.

Cast your vote and crown this week’s AOTW Fatal-Four Way winner. Here are the four combatants:

AOTW #1 28-Pack with $74.99 BIN

AOTW #2 Class C Dark Blue #34 with $19.99 BIN

vs.

AOTW #3 Ugly Painted Figure with $35 BIN

AOTW #4 $120.60 BIN for $10.50 Figure

I don’t know what made me curious, but I checked in on our champion. Apparently the $250 price tag for an empty box wasn’t bring the stampede of potential buyers that he expected.

Using his obvious shark-like business ability, the seller has dropped the price. It now features a $160 BIN.

I’m starting to believe eBay is almost exclusively filled with idiots that secretly believe they are business geniuses. They get enough sales that reinforce that delusion. I imagine that number is different for each person. That number would never be big enough to make me list stuff routinely.

In the real-world I bet these people have the business sense of a stone and certainly don’t work in a role that requires actual sales.
