Even u90 freaks show no love for 8D8

[Joe]

So, everything else is worth 100 + if its U90 yet my little mate is only worth $60? :twisted:

Just look at all the acrylic used for that bad boy!

LOL yeah there was some worry a while back about the loose incredible hulk 8D8 variation so AFA are taking no risks with any future figures they grade...!!

 

[jangofettish]

iam not convinced that was the best way of securing that figure....afa must have hired stevie wonder as a work experiance 8) :lol:

 

[Capetown]

I have him on my watch list!

 

[weasel]

That looks awful!
Whisper it quietly in case Joe hears, but I actually don't mind 8D8 as a figure, and graded loose figures look ok IMHO, but that one looks awful!
Still $60 for a loose U90 when the others go for hundreds!? WTF!?

are you going to buy it then?? could be a good investment...

 

[Joe]

No way! Buy a U?! I could buy 2 moc for that money and have 2 U figures without a silly acrylic box and a grade!

 

[weasel]

What's the going rate for an 8D8 MOC?

 

[Joe]

What's the going rate for an 8D8 MOC?

Not a lot :lol:

C8+ Clear - $40-60 (if its dead clear and in good nick)

C8+ Yellowing/yellowed - $20-35

That is pretty rough guide, I almost finished my run with a 79 back a while ago, £25 was my limit (wasn't clear but I was getting impatient) but he sold for £26, in fairness I could probably find a clear mint one for that, I am quite the bargain hunter

 

[weasel]

Cool. I still would have thought a U90 one would sell for more than $60!
Is it a sign that MAYBE JUST MAYBE the U fad is passing? Or at least ppl are running out of money to blow on them!?

 

[Joe]

I think its just a sign of either no-one liking the figure regardless of its grade or the seller listing it too low :lol: :lol:

I think these U people still have some mileage unfortunately!

 

[weasel]

Strnage that he goes for so little though when the others seem to go for stupid premiums, even the more common figures.

 

[Joe]

Maybe someone should buy it and sell it over on RS for millions! :idea:

 

[weasel]

But then you'd be encouraging the U graders! :wink: :lol:

 

[Joe]

But then you'd be encouraging the U graders! :wink: :lol:

Yeah you can't win, but at least you would have their hard earned money, I mean the damage is already done on this one :?

I wonder if it came from a 79 back.. :roll:

 

[weasel]

You tempted to buy it and try and flog it on RS? :lol:

 

[Joe]

No not really :lol:

I haven't got a pot to piss in, and now I have to pay for my display cabinet that kind of got sidetracked as the bloke was busy and postage from here is quite expensive if I was to buy and sell things , I can't be bothered to be honest, let one of the U collectors find that little goldmine

 

[weasel]

Tip them off..........................for a small fee, of course! :wink:

 

[aussiejames]

He's only worth $60 because he's a stupid robot :lol: :lol: A green snake is worth more :wink:
