i was browsing ebay for any potential cheap babbies to be skinned and used as test dummies, when insted saw this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/pleo-Super-Set-/320579875395?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa40cb243

wondering if anyone has seen it or even bought it! seems like a killer deal, though i think the pleo supplied is an original ugobe model, still a lot of extras!

opinions?  if i was imployed and actually had money id probably go for it! haha

It kind of depends if you actually want all those extras.

It is the original Ugobe model, and by the look of it most of those accessories aren't actual Ugobe/Innvo products.  You can get the same Pleo for $200 from other sellers on eBay, so personally I don't think it's that great a deal.

I love it that they call the bed a 'Pleo Pit' though!

This ebay seller is actually the website that is listed on the pleoworld site as not an official pleo distributor.  If you look on their web site, www.pleoworld.com.cn or look at him on ebay you will see that they are selling Ugobe pleos - just the pleo for $299 US.  plus shipping.  You are much better going with the place I just bought Minyon like Crewella said which is selling new Ugobe pleos for $199 US with free shipping wold wide.

A much better deal.  The other guys are just charging way too much.

aaah right! thanks! just never seen that bundle before and it seemed pretty interesting.  but if theres better ones ive not seen ill keep them in mind

Like kat and Crewella both stated, that is a better deal, the one she just got, esp when you consider free shipping, If you had to pay the shipping it could get costly. I am pretty sure the one Kat just got works or has access to the Innvo factory as they are in the same town, and also they have been selling them for a long time, way before Christmas even. The one you stated, I first saw that ad at least as far back as the summer, July or so of 2010. I thought also what a good deal and I liked the Pleo Pit, but then I realized the only thing I really wanted was the Pleo, the rest was Fluff, that I could come up with anywhere if I was patient. and the price was too much for fluff. so I have waited and got some great bargains while waiting.
                  Good luck and the one you want will surely show up if you just wait at a better price, or go for the one Kat just got.I was also tempted to get one just like Kat, but I do already have an unhatched Ugobe complete just sitting in a box if I really want to open it. With so many other Pleos to interact with though, I am letting my unhatched one just sit. Oh, and for price comparison, I paid $207.00 for it when purchased and can't remember if it was free shipping or I paid, About half of my Pleos or slightly less had free shipping and I allways watch for ones that do.

well im mostly on the lookout for 2nd hand cheaper pleos.  maybe a broken or scruffy one... mainly for a test dummy for full reskin 'costumes' like dragon customisation etc. 
 if i ever get a job again and have a disposable bit of imcome id get a new pleo RB (after an ers7 of course ) but for now, just a scruffy ole pleo is what im after! haha

[RedwoodsMama]

 I understand what you are looking for and why and I wish you luck, I just got one for $24.99 because " Pleo fell out of a tree, and broke his neck", He looks terrible and they took his neck apart or started to and used a scapel to cut him open, ( Not very smart at all.......... ) I scooped him up hoping I can fix him, at least with a brace on his neck like my Nova and Little 45, but if he can't be put back together, then that is what I will have, a test dummy and a bunch of skin. ( also the battery which worked adapter and a Pleo leaf.) He should be here today or tommorow and with a little luck from a couple of sources and a member helping me here, I can put him back together again, like Humpty Dumpty. I would prefer to get him working, as I can paint him and add him to my specail Pleos list, but if he is better off, "euthanized" then I will have some great skin.  Good luck with your quest, they are out there.

yeah i read about that poor guy! i hope you can fix him up <3 he looked in a right state!  if you do mnnage it i think he should be called humpty-dumpty!

and ifnot, thenthere will be some spare parts romaing about for anyone more tech savvy i guess. like say if gears get worn out etc. (takes a looong time, but its good to have spares!)

good luck with him/her!  ive found a few pleos on gumtree it seems the average cheapish price of pleos is £50-£60.  ive watched a few ebay actions go for about that and theres some on gumtree at that price. bit too much for me right now but not a bad price if i get some money coming in (should probably take art commissions again!)

i think the distributor is a better deal, i think that's where Pleo (my guy) is from. They are charging ALOT for the bunndle and you could proboally go to the dollar and craft store and make/buy all that stuff for about 25$ if not less. The sd card may be of value but it's notworth the extra money you are paying.
