Monday eBay Roundup (XXII)

Hello Xenites!

The Xena prop/replica world has been very quiet these past weeks. But today there are some items on eBay that I'm sure will prove worth your attention. Let's take a look!

- SILVER DISC / SHIELD PROP FROM S4 "THE WAY"


   > Character: Background object in S4 "The Way"
   > Material: Urethane resin
   Papers: COA from It's a Wrap!
   Seller: whomac7
   Price: $99 (already $470!!) plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: This shield is ON FIRE! Wow! This is obviously a gorgeous piece (you can find a very complete description in the listing) and the starting bid was very reasonable. Now the bids are skyrocketing, which is always an adrenaline rush!

- DRAGON HELMET PROP


   > Character: Campbell? Fraley?
   > Material: Urethane resin?
   Papers: Not mentioned
   Seller: njmoondragon
   Price: $75 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: Another rare and quite interesting looking prop. The seller mentions to have acquired this piece in the Yahoo It's a Wrap! Auctions, but no word is said about the COA. The insides of the helmet are marked with the words "Campbell" and "Fraley". Price is quite low.

- TODD'S COSTUMES Y&Y CHAKRAM REPLICA


   > Manufacturer: Todd's Costumes
   > Number: 375?/1000
   > COA: Not mentioned
   > Seller: lilsis651
   > Price: $299 plus shipping

   > Opinion: This one has been lurking around for a while - it's the third or fourth time the seller re-lists this chakram replica. Price is not bad, but before bidding but aware the paint is chipped in several places. It's probably something that CAN be fixed, but I point it out so there are no unpleasant surprises too late. There's no mention about the paperwork.

- MARTO'S 10th ANNIVERSARY GOLD XENA SWORD


   > Manufacturer: Marto of Toledo
   > Number: Not mentioned
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: wschaefer123
   > Price: $895 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: I don't usually bother to review Marto's Xena sword replicas, but this one is a bit more special: it's part of the 10th Anniversary Gold line. So it's fancier :p What a price, however!

- MARTO'S XENA "SUPER" KATANA REPLICA


   > Manufacturer: Marto of Toledo
   > Number: Not mentioned
   > COA: Not mentioned
   > Seller: westsidediscount007
   > Price: $179.99 plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: Same here. Not a big lover of this katana replica. It's a nice collectible, neatly made, but not accurate. Attention! This one here is missing a couple of pieces!

- MARTO'S XENA "SUPER" KATANA REPLICA


   > Manufacturer: Marto of Toledo
   > Number: Not mentioned
   > COA: Included
   > Seller: supasella2012
   > Price: $390 (or Buy Now for $520) plus shipping (only USA)

   > Opinion: The very same kind of replica, but from a different seller. So, same opinion. This one comes with the original box and all the paperwork. It's a tad more expensive, though.

****

Is it me, or the "Only USA" seems to be becoming a thing? I mean, almost all the items I see on eBay lately are "Only USA" - what's happening? What is the position of international collectors (such as myself) if sellers don't wish to ship abroad anymore? That's something to think about.

Stay tuned for more, people!
