Crazy Luke Palitoy

[fun4kids]

I know we are not supposed to out listings but I have to do this one - BIN price is laughable isnt it?

Don't worry about outing BIN's mate...

No matter how many people know about it the price is fixed

What a price though :shock: I think I will take two :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Its the same price as the Pali Chewie :?:


While I was looking at his other items I found this and I like it...

I think its Walrus Mans missus :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just noticed those listings. I know they're graded but that's way to high. Maybe they'll take an offer of 4-5K each for them?

Any other thoughts on value?

It's prices like this that make me think twice about completing my 12 back run.
I know it's an afa85 but they both seem ridiculously overpriced.
I knocked back an afa 80 Luke that was less than a third of his price. Seems like a bargain now!
I guess there only worth what someone's willing to pay, and I'd only be willing to pay less than half what he wants. A lot less than half.........

:shock: wow that's some major chips right there! Prices seem to get crazier and crazier for 12 backs.


@JuniorChubb: Seems just your size :lol: :lol:

 

[JuniorChubb]

I am telling you June, that is definitely Walrus Woman in that listing....

She will fit me perfectly :wink:

Holy cow! :shock:

A couple of mouthwatering pieces but could possibly reach that price considering the crazy prices those kenner afa 90's are going for in the states.
There are some rumours that these top end pieces are being bought up as 'investments' but as we know cardboard deteriorates, bubbles lose their clarity and glue slowly releases its hold so I see this about the same as investing in an apple, looks good now but in the future it may not be as green and shiny.
As I've said before, alot of people new to the hobby seem to say ' I had the original 12 so I'm gonna start by getting them all again' which is a bit like passing your test and saying 'right, now I want a ferrari' well it's gonna cost you the same as one.
So I'm sticking to my focus of ESB moc's only, with a strict budget of 80 quid or less... only 34 pieces to go, anyone got a moc Fett for under 80 quid?

 

[palitoyjunky]

The way things are going it wouldn't surprise me if he gets around 6K for each of them! My Chewy went for 5.6K as part of nearly the whole set I sold and it was ungraded! However the buyer got it AFA graded and it got the triple 85 so was a beauty!! I kept back the Luke which would prob grade triple 85 too

Im sure I've seen that ebay name before. It rings a bell!!!

 

[monkeyboy]

Im sure I've seen that ebay name before. It rings a bell!!!

In my experience he's a v good seller, I bought 2 MOC's off him, they were immaculate.
I don't know where he finds them but he often comes up with some top pieces.

 

[rob71]

Crazy prices indeed... I would need to be a millionaire to consider that kind of money. Bloody nice though. Boots are nice too 8)

Seconded. He's a great seller. I've had a few nice bits from him before.

He's just got a little bit carried away with his bin prices!

 

[andy x-wing pilot]

Ive purchased about 4 nice afa pieces from him before and have been really impressed with what ive got. Good packaging aswell.
Both items are very very nice but is the luke really worth more than 3.5k?

[Palifan]

My guess is it is worth more than 3.5K as it looks like it's sold! Maybe it went to the person who bought the graded lot of Palitoy 12 backs that went up for sale recently. If it was the same person they may have even snagged the large head Han and VC Jawa so we could have another full set complete out there........or maybe not :lol: Still, it looks like these are good through the roof with the prices at the moment and maybe I should have picked up the set of 11 12 backs I was offered recently for 10K. You live and learn!

 

[Palifan]

Nope, didn't sell, back on the bay again!

 

[Stormtrooper37]

Nope, didn't sell, back on the bay again!

Is it?

Not on sellers items for sale it isn't :?

I have just double checked on ebay. The one for sale on ebay is a DIFFERENT LUKE PALITOY subs are C80 B85 F85 overall 85
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-STAR-WARS-PALITOY-LUKE-SKYWALKER-12-BACK-AFA-85-/261231042433?pt=UK_Collectables_SciFi_fantasyCollectables_EH&hash=item3cd2955f81

The previous Luke Palitoy had straight subs all at 85.

Two different Luke Palitoy's so the original one could well have sold. Can't believe two coming up in the same week.

 

[Palifan]

I didn't notice it was different and the new one listed has also now gone! Maybe another 2 complete runs of 12 backs out there?

Crazy that 2 came up in the same week though.

WOW :shock:
