So I accidently bought something in Argentina...

Post by PanzerArm » Wed Jul 09, 2008 5:40 pm

I was searching the web for 32x series 2 Germans (got outbid on evilbay), and I came across a site in Spanish that appeared to have them in stock. I created an account, using what guesstimation I could for what I was doing, and in an effort to find out more info on the product (all it would show me was a picture and price), I inadvertently ordered the damn thing. Not that I don't want them, it's just that I figured out the figures are in Argentina, and that at a price of 145 Argentinian pesos, I will have to pay $45 for them, without shipping. Plus, i don't speak Spanish(Argentinian?) and I really don't know how to carry out any communication with the company I accidentally "bought" them from. Anyway, i sent an email saying that the whole thing was an accident, but I just thought that I'd post this here in case their were any Spanish speakers around tha might be able to help serve as translator in case things don't get sorted out easily.

If you didnt pay for them, just let them know you accidently ordered them due to a "web browsing error". Did the setting up of the account involve giving them a credit card number? You may have to cancel the order if that is the case. I may have a set of these guys kicking around in my vault. Let me look and I will let you know if I do have them. What did they cost when they were sold originally at WM or TRU?

If all else fails, tell them the British are coming back to straighten them out... :wink:

Spanish site

No credit card info given, so I'm in the clear as far as that's concerned. I got an email from them saying I had to contact the seller (I think the sight was kind of like ebay) and make the arrangements (I did use an online translator to figure that out), but again I really didn't know when exactly I agreed to buy these things lol. Thanks for the advice guys, and I'll be sure to keep you updated regarding my Argentinian adventure :lol:

32x prices

Post by PanzerArm » Wed Jul 09, 2008 6:58 pm

I think the sets went for 11.99? It's been so long it's hard to recall the exact price. Can someone else confirm that price?

I took a quick look and I am out of figure sets. I thought I might have them. I probably have them loose, but not in a box set. Sorry about that. I should have looked before I said something..

Oh this should be fun. But it seems as though so far things are going in the right direction. :)
