Interesting. I haven't seen a big lot of series 2 like this before. Good luck to all who's bidding.

Holy crap, the seller doesn't even know what the are, muchless what they are "worth"!

 

Yeah, good luck to anyone here!

Wow! All 4 Mickeys in that lot. I don't even want to think about how much effort it took me to find all 4. haha

Those blues look pretty faded. Is that common?

[fkro6784]

That's pretty amazing. I'm very curious to see what the final price is. 

 

Did anyone else notice the messages the seller had received and that were posted publicly to the auction?

 

"Hi You are taking too long to reply So I can only assume you Have another buy now offer As I saw them first and to avoid Anyone else getting them The figures you have are Garbage pail kids series 2 Nova bon bon figures They should float in water Only sold in canada And are quite rare I recommend you close Down your auction And relist per figure and Not as large lot If you search the name You can find more info on them."

Yeah, the first guy just tried to fish out a BIN price.  If he had just straight up said $300 or something, I can't imagine the uninformed seller not going for it.

 

Anyway it is $611 now and it was $150 just a couple hours ago when posted.  And still over 5 days to go.  Ha!

I'll probably throw in, but I have a feeling this is going to go really high!

[jason76basin]

wow that's a nice lot. still a great price at 100 per figure.

[SmokinGun]

Auction currently sitting at $1526 with 5 days left. I didn't think it will reach that high. What is the current value for one series 2 figure?

[fkro6784]

Wow, I'm surprised it's already that high with so much time left. Considering the guy didn't even know what they were, he must be doing a happy dance right about now.

they are way down from what they were. a few years ago they were 3-400 each all day long....i'd say this auction will end slightly over 2grand possibly 2300.....he's limiting his money, because its eliminating folks that may want one or two figs but cant swing several grand to get them.

 

current value is ifffy, some only go for 150ish, but some still close to 300.....that yellow jill in this lot is to die for. truly sexy

If they go around that much each. It's definitely gonna hit over 2 grand.

well....that's each, when there's a ton thrown in one huge lot....people cant afford to go that high per fig all lumped together. seller should have sold them all individually, but if he's just wanting them all gone in one chunk he will be happy i'm sure with the outcome

The worst thing about rare Cheap Toy collecting are the dickhead ( a lot of the times X collectors or profiteers ) doing their best to artificially inflate the toys value. I'm pretty over it.

[MantisFang]

That is insane.

[steverotters]

$2,500 for something he didn't even know what to call.  Nailed it!

That is really cool, but I would have found out what they were and listed individually...though im sure at 2500 he is happy and it doesnt even matter lol

[Jackson]

That is a really decent price per figure. There are some very rare examples in that lot.

He is just lucky he knew enough to put m.u.s.c.l.e. in the title. If it wasn't for that, these may have stayed buried or more likely would have went for so much less. I knew they had value but I had no idea it was this hardcore. I love them, but they will just be another thing I can never afford to collect. 

[fkro6784]

So that works out to a little under $150 per figure. 

 

I like the fact that he didn't end the auction after he found out what they were to try to make more by listing individually, since there were already bids on it.
