If he sells it for that price, I'm going to knock on his door and ask how. That's the neighbourly thing to do!

He's really trying to set a new high water mark.

Favorite parts:

"Great condition! Sticker still intact!!!! Don't miss!!"

   

Also, shipping is $10.25 from a domestic seller. 

 

Maybe there is a special story to how worn it looks.  There must be something.

This seller's specialty= nasal pillows, band t-shirts, and astronomically priced 1980s rubber toys.  Real niche player.

LOL- what the??... I kept looking for some rare bit or something. Unless he made that thing out of cocaine, I'm not seeing how it's worth one-hundred dollars.

LOL- looking at all of his Auctions, it looks like he was brought back to reality by the lack of interest. Most of his "relisted" prices are semi-reasonable (10 bucks Canadian), or just unsold, even for cheaper prices.

As far as I can tell, he was either A) An inexperienced BB seller, who had no idea how much the things really were, aside from being small and fragile enough to "justify" a higher price; or B) A dishonest seller hoping to put one over on a clueless newbie who assumed that these prices meant the figures HAD to be rare and notable.

You're A and B definitions above perfectly describe series 3 MIMP sellers on eBay. Unfortunately, I think there's more B than A in that world.
