Amazing price on SW Helix item

[_Lee_]

Had this on my watch list and just took a peek after not being on Ebay for a bit:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-HELIX-STAR-WARS-1977-Felt-Tip-Pens-/290508726270?pt=UK_Collectables_SciFi_fantasyCollectables_EH&hash=item43a3ab5ffe

****ing amazing and insane price!!! These are mega,mega rare though and ive only ever seen one other set.

Just proves what that old crap we all learned at school with does for ya Someone loves remembering school i think.Ive got a thing for Helix items myself,but id never go that far unless of course i won the lottery.

Anyway,great item for a hige price.

Jesus!

That's a lot for some felt-tips! Says he who has spent more on a lump of cardboard and some plastic. Lol
Have they been opened or are they still sealed? I glanced at the listing but I didn't see any specific mention.

I bet they've dried up too.

Crazy price!

I can understand crazy prices on toys, and it's obvious somebody really wanted these, but do you think they'll have the staying power (value wise) that you'd normally better associate with the toys?

Those are ****ing expensive markers. :shock:

I thought they were only worth £20 tops even if they are rare. Do you think they went to a pen collector at that price? :lol:
