That is scary looking! Could you imagine not knowing that your significant other bought it, then coming home to find in the den?

Wicked! I would loooooove it in my hallway  Mind you, I did want to take that life size Sauron that I saw at the LOTR exhibition home as well to frighten any unwelcome visitors... maybe i am just antisocial  |

I do know of someone who has a suit of armour at the bottom of their stairs in the hallway. It looks really good too! Potty mouth huh? Better than being a 'Parselmouth'! |

That piece is awsome. I just love these people who go out and buy something like this and then either get tired of it and try to sell it or they always had a mind to sell the item for profit in the first place! I would rather have seen someone get it who is a collector than a speculator! Just look at the shipping cost alone - $600 in the United States. I do not even want to consider what it would cost to ship overseas!

Suuuuuuuuuuurely someone local will buy it! It might as well say "local pickup only" - seriously it can't cost $600 in petrol to drive the length of the US can it??

Actually, shipping is very expensive. When I moved from one apartment to another (a 15-mile trip), it cost me close to $400. You have to pay for the gas, the wear and tear on the truck, insurance, the movers who load and unload the truck, and the driver.
Don't forget that a 6 1/2-foot statue that weighs 200 pounds has to be properly packed so it isn't damaged during shipment. The box and packing materials alone could run well over $100.

Personally, I'd just drive up to their place and stick it on the roof rack... if it can survive Aragorn, it can survive the streets of the US |

LOL It's all academic anyway as the seller has ended the auction early saying its no longer available! Why bother listing it in the first place? Cool item though! |

He probably got an off-eBay offer and figured he'd do better that way than paying eBay fees on the sale.

That's true! No, it wasn't me either! I don't think I could smuggle that in with my hand luggage! LOL |
