Monday eBay Roundup (XIV) - I'm back!

Home sweet home!

Sadly and happily at the same time, my travels have finished, at least for a while. So it's back to business for me, folks :) From now on that my life is more organized I'll keep the blog more updated - besides I have tons of overdue articles and content to share. Wait and see!

But for now, let's resume our lovely Monday Roundup (yay!). It's been a while, so there are quite many new things to take a look at. Let's see.

- CREATION ENT YIN YANG CHAKRAM #401 + TONS OF THINGS MORE


   > Manufacturer: Creation Entertainment
   > Number: 401/500
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: julesnavymickey
   > Price: $117.56 ($123.50 already) plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: This chakram comes as part of a huge HUGE lot of Xena merchandising and memorabilia. And if you want my opinion, incredibly cheap (though the reserve price hasn't been reached yet). The lot includes a Marto Xena sword reproduction, a jacket, pendants, photos, bags... many many things. The chakram itself is a late creation replica, so it'll include the "NZ made" stamp, but includes the shadowbox and the COA. A great opportunity!

- CREATION ENT YIN YANG CHAKRAM #245 + 2 FAN CLUB KITS


   > Manufacturer: Creation Entertainment
   > Number: 245/500
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: lwil5117
   > Price: $550 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: Believe it or not, another lot of Xena stuff with a Y&Y chakram. This one is considerably more expensive, but: there's no reserve, the number is lower (hence there's no NZ engraving) and it also includes the intact shadowbox and the COA. $550 is not at all a crazy price for a Creation Ent chakram, so this is certainly a fair chance as well.

- CREATION ENT ORIGINAL CHAKRAM #399


   > Manufacturer: Creation Entertainment
   > Number: 399/500
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: fairview_collectables
   > Price: GBP 850 ($1,359.87) plus shipping

   > Opinion: Sigh. This is what happens when one goes away for a little while - too many chakrams! lol This time, a S4-ish original chakram also by Creation Ent, also with the COA. Do notice that it presents one of the rare shadowbox models that only later numbers included. Not so later to have a NZ made engraving, that is good. For me this is the more perfect original chakram model ever made by Creation (what I call the Third Generation chakram in my Comparisons) - but this particular piece is VERY pricey unless you have your salary in UK pounds.

- CREATION ENT CHAKRAM COA


  > Manufacturer: Creation Entertainment
   > Number: Not numbered
   > Seller: beatles-rock
   > Price: $50 (free shipping)

   > Opinion: This might not be a prop or replica itself, but it's very related to them, and I know many collectors will be interested on it. A Creation Ent chakram COA, valid for all models. It's usual to find chakrams without COA (often misplaced by previous owners and never found) so this might be a very good opportunity to "complete" your piece and add it a bit more of value.

- 10th ANNIVERSARY GOLD EDITION CHAKRAM #9


   > Manufacturer: Todd's Costumes
   > Number: 399/500
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: beatles-rock
   > Price: $1,250 plus shipping

   > Opinion: Also for sale this fancy and heavy Gold chakram produced by Todd's Costumes for Davis-Panzer during the 10th anniversary of the series. I mistakenly believed these chakram had been made by Marto of Toledo, but Todd Coyle clarified he's the real author of these pieces.

- ROMANS EMPIRE ORIGINAL CHAKRAM + GABRIELLE SAIS


   > Manufacturer: Romans Empire
   > Number: Unnumbered 
   > Seller: romansempire
   > Price: $549.99 plus shipping

   > Opinion: I don't usually review Roman's listings because they are kind of always on eBay - but this is special. He's listed a deal including one of his original chakrams (I talked about it here) and a pair of his Gabrielle's sais replicas. Cool deal!

- BRASS VASE PROP


   > Character: Unknown
   > Material: Brass
   Papers: COA from Turners
   Seller: socani
   Price: $14.83 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: A cool and cheap brass vase anyone? It's a prop from the Turners Auction - and as usual it could have belonged either to Hercules (HTLJ), Xena (XWP) of Young Hercules (YH). Make sure to let me know if you spot it in any episode!

- XENA PRODUCTION DESIGN BOOK: ORPHAN OF WAR


   Seller: lehtonen
   Price: AU $249 ($218.87) plus shipping

   > Opinion: Production pieces are always way cool. This one comes from Australia, and for what the listing says it's a 15 pages document that includes diagrams and pictures of the village and the Ixion cavern from the episode "Orphan of War". There are also pictures drawn on the back of some pages. If you like this kind of prop this might be a good opportunity.

Stay tuned, more to come soon enough!

Cheers!
