ARGH, don't remind me of my newbie mistake. Yes I would have preferred to keep that, but was caught out by lack of knowledge of what was rare or not. My intention was to sell all my lower end stuff.

Nice one. Just checked them out. They're all priced a bit high. I can't see many of them selling if he doesn't bring the price down a bit.

I also went looking for them, he has some nice ones, but they are pricey. Not mentioning 12 Back, 20 Back, etc in his titles will make lots of people miss his auctions....

The Obi Wan has just had a BIN added at €600, which I must admit, if I hadn't just bought an ungraded A back, I'd probably buy it myself.

that's only a AFA70 and an old single grade..... still to high imo.

I guess. I'm happy to settle for 70 as that's sort of my financial limit. I just bought a DSC afa 60 A-back for just slightly over £300. At least I'll have all 12 sooner rather than later.

I understand where you coming from with the prices that have sky rocketed on these items...
Still deals can be found, if you keep your eyes open and have lots off patience.
The last 2 12 backs i bought where Ben and a Jawa, which where upgrades for the ones i had. this was back in 2013, but i only paid 375£ for both shiping included. These are both in great condition, but i am not into grading, so i'll prefer to keep them in a acrylic case for display purposes.

His prices are too high, particularly the ROTJ one's. He's pricing them as one grade up, so his 80's are priced more like an 85. Seller is entitled to ask what they want of course, someone might pay.

Different discussion I know, but I hate listings with the high price as an auction. Either list them low and let them run, or have some confidence and BIN them. Doing it his way just puts people off who might've bought it if it was a BIN as they cba waiting, and people looking for a low price competition in an auction listing don't even look twice when they see the price. It's a bit lame trying to cover off things that way.

Very very nice pieces. Easy AFA 80s at least. Yeah what I think I'll do is collect the set at anything as low as AFA 60, as this will allow me to collect the 12, then I can decided which direction to go next - 20 backs, a focus figure etc. Also, my worry about spending the big bucks on the 80/85 grades, is that the prices take big tumble for some reason. So, get set lower graded, and keep an eye out for bargains to upgrade.
