I bet all the Super Rares were released in 4-Packs, just like the Satancross figures that have been confirmed in 4-Pack packaging. Satancross, Spinning Head Ashuraman, Black Hole Sunshine, Drunken Master, and Dark Emperor probably all came from 4-Packs. If I could only go back to around 1982-83 and search the northeast states for them. That woud be a great shopping experience!

JEEZ!!!

I wonder if the high bidder with only 1 feedback will actually pay for it, or if Philly will end up getting it.

[arforbes]

HOLY CRAP! And I thought I spent a lot on mine when I bought it. Good lord this one qualifies for the record books!

[el midgetron]

anyone know who the winner is???

Alex is pondering right now... "to sell my BHS, or to not sell my BHS..."

No kidding! Seriously though, if these things keep increasing in price like they have been, I just might. I mean how much would three Super Rares be worth...?

BHS x $910
SHA x $910
DE x $910
__________
$2730

That's only if they went for that much though, and only if Philly wanted a DE and BHS as much as he wanted one this time!

[TOPHER]

All I have to say is OUCH! .

TOPHER.

[Knuxman]

910!? 910!? WHAT!? It's the downfall of western civilization... woops, that was for my speech at the inauguration. but seriously, WOW! i thought that 100 for a muscle was nuts but, to dust of an old chestnut, HOLY SHIZ-RIZZLE-FO-DIZZLE! to whomever won that, it is a rotocast victory. Who knew would ever be worth so much?

[Labirinto]

..................
that means I've no word.
I'm curious to see if this crazy bidder will honour his obligation.
mah....I don't really know.
O tempora o mores!

[Beligerant1]

Holy shizznit is right.

but honestly, i doubt the guy with a feedback of one honors the bid. The odds are against it.

In that case, the only fair thing to do would be to start a new auction. It wouldnt be fair for philly to pay $900 as second hightest bidder because noone except the low-feedback guy and philly even went over $460.

Anyway, it boggles my mind. The only chance ill ever get one of those is if i find one at a flea market or yard sale, which sucks since i never go to flea markets or yard sales.

Not necessarily...he! he! he!

There is such a thing as the "TGB/AKIA SUPER RARE TRILOGY SET!"

$910 is just plain ridiculous and I bet you anything that the "1" positive feedback bidder will NOT honor his bid and end up a BIG FAT "NO-PAY!"

Philly, no offense, but, if you pay more than $300-$500, you are SICK in the HEAD! Hell even $300 is messed up, however, that is more in the realm of just nutz....

I wonder if that "1" feedback winner is actually a "shill bid?"

Careful Philly...

[Tortle]

I know that discussions like these always end up with posts like "Hey, if it's worth that much to him, it's okay." But COME ON. $910.00 on a little pink plastic toy? That's effing absurd.

At times, it seems like many MUSCLE collectors have more money than common sense.

Time to make an update to the "Frequently Asked Questions" page on pricing and numbers of Super Rares.

[Knuxman]

I've decided my froof for prices is staunchly at $200! but desperate people call for desperate prices... or something like that....

[el midgetron]

who is yapiel??? its a rather inactive ebay account. Someone working from the shadows??

[jkaris]

The name "yapiel" sounds familiar to me, but I can't remember why. Let me check all my emails from the store.

But why only 4-packs and not 10-packs ?

Could have been the 10-Packs too, but if so, I would assume them to have been in only the flesh 10-Packs. I assume the 4-Packs housed the Super Rares because any figure can be found in a 4-Pack, but I guess the same is true for 10-Packs too. So possibly.

[arforbes]

Since Super Rares tend to pop up about once a year, I wonder what the next one will be, a SHA, BHS, DM, or DE...or possibly a new one! Inevitably, more and more will show up as time goes by and the SUper Rares will eventually lose their high $$$ value.

So that being said, anyone want to buy my BHS for $910?

[arforbes]

Anyone heard from Philly? Being the second highest bidder, I wonder if he contacted the seller of the BHS to see if the high bidder had paid yet. If the 1 feedback bidder does not pay, then I bet Phil will end up paying for the BHS, he could get a second chance offer from the seller. He has the disease like I have. It's contagious and can be spread to other members who post here on the boards. It's already spread to a few.
