Just like my previous thread regarding highest price paid, what is the best price you paid for an otherwise rare, unarticulated mono/minifigure?

One catch: No trades or freebies, as that would be pretty obvious!

Best deal I ever got was two Dianogas from the Kenner Death Star playset, for $8

Paid $1 each for a lot of MIMP with an Orange Premium T-Rex and a slew of other goodies (I think there were 3-4 Behemoths too).

I never see stuff like that.

I saw Cheap Toys at a show once and the guy wanted ridiculous prices for 'em.

And I'm going to shows every month of the year!

If I see ANY MUSCLE, it's one or two commons for a few bucks each.

I need to check Craigslist for MIMP. I tried that once a long time ago, but not since I moved.

Do these float in water?

 

Whenever I take them into the bath with me, yeah.

 

I think the best deal I have ever gotten, might have been that set C FOA for $15... I'm notoriously frugal, and patient. I typically just wait for prices to come down, or mislabeled lots to pop up.

Hell, I got a Palisades Doglion mini figure MIP, shipped to my door for $8.

Still waiting for that one big deal to happen, but I would go with either a recent lot of 5 glow-in-the-dark ooze turtles for $9.99 shipped or a muscle lot that I got for $45 shipped that included around 40 common flesh muscles, a newish condition satan cross, 5 musclmania guys, and 4 cans.
