Why didn't he just sell to the highest bidder?! Very dodgy!!

[PGowdy]

500 quid for an opened figure. For god's sake. :roll:

 

[sparkysx]

What's the figure worth alone, £30?

And what's the card back worth alone?

Well there's this beauty -

And then there's this -

A Leia card back and bubble with no figure went for 171 GBP back in Feb but it was of exceptional quality.

This one listed now would be lucky to go for much over 100 really, but who knows what people will pay (not 500, that's for sure :lol: )

 

[sparkysx]

As much as I love Palitoy that first one was a crazy price for a opened figure, the second one was a good deal because the weapon would probably sell for £20 alone on eBay.

I guess I'm just getting back into it, but I think to myself, how many quality loosies could I buy for £300?

 

[Palifan]

True enough with your loosies comment.

She is one of the harder figures to find carded on the 12 backs (even if there have been a few up for sale recently), but that first link I posted is a steep price to pay. I think it's because the condition was so nice with it and the buyer wasn't going to shell out between 2-3K for a sealed one (can't blame them for that).

It's becoming beyond a lot of peoples means to start collecting these early issue figures these days, but with them seemly up for sale every other week (both sealed and re-sealed/opened), the prices will probably change at different points through any given year.

This seller really doesn't seem to understand that their reserve is just to high. I guess they really don't want to let their items go and it still baffles me as to where they got their valuation from.....it wasn't on here was it?
