Hey pal! I'm not an expert on diecast but if this is a really good deal I would recommend removing the auction link before somebody snags it before you do. You can save the pictures and post them that way or I know we have some absolute experts on here you could contact privately for advice. I just don't wanna see the item get snagged before you get a chance.

This is a vintage Taiwan KO daltanias, typically referred to as godsphinx or other names. The shoddy quality, lack of markings and red accessories are a dead giveaway.
This Taiwan piece is still quite hard to find, but the BIN price they are asking is too high, in my opinion. Your money is best spent on an original popy/godaikin. Daltanias also comes with tons of accessories, more than what you see here.
Sam is also correct - don't post links to live auctions. If it had been a great deal, it's likely that someone would have snagged it on you. Posting live links is also prohibited on the forum.
Feel free to PM me links when you have a question on something vintage and I will do my best to help you.

thanks for the help, and advice bros.
this is the third posting of this item so I figured that something was not quite right about it.
