Almost half of the first lot isn't even M.U.S.CL.E.!

 

I wish sellers would look at some completed listings before making up crazy BIN prices, especially when they sell things they know nothing about.

    This and that - mostly that!

It's getting to the point now where eBay might as well change its name to rareBay - everything people list is apparently rare. I mean the first listing above uses the word rare twice in the same sentence in the description! Yes, certain figures out there are rare, but it seems that any toy/figure that people find stuffed in the loft, garage or grandma's cupboard is the rarest of the rare just because it's reasonably old. I think they should charge extra for use of the word rare ha! That would put a stop to it ;)

If people in my local area find out how many apparently 'rare' figures I have in my house, I'll have to lock it down Purge style :lol:

They didn't bother to figure out WHY the $400+ lot went for that much, they just knew they had a bunch, saw that for some reason some were valuable, and jumped on an opportunity that for them, will never come.

The claw alone would have brought that much. The other figures are freebies.

I let them know why, when I informed them about that steep ticket on their lot. Let them know, their lot had nothing rare by any means and half the stuff wasn't even muscle, etc. They don't care. They just said thanks. Haha

And they'll be stuck watching their lot generate no bids or interest, instead of selling fairly to somebody who would truly appreciate it.

Although greed is one of the original seven deadly sins, it also plays a significant role in driving people not normally associated with M.U.S.C.L.E. to dig thru forgotten boxes, yard sales, relatives’ attics, antique malls, etc. We might not be aware of the Magnificent 11 today if not for an opportunistic Japanese seller. What other treasures are out there and what makes us think people will look for them if we insist all M.U.S.C.L.E. lots conform to our pricing expectations? So I try not to be too critical of these sellers. This is a capitalist society; let them charge what they want.

Valid points. I counter with the fact that time is our most valuable commodity. These greedy sellers seem intent on wasting it.

It is a free capitalist society, and I have a right to grumble about some goofdick trying to bleed my hobby dry, just as he has a right to be an ignorant cheat.

The Magnificent 11 were test shots/prototypes/one-offs.  They had to be.

 

Unless I am mistaken- there has never been any since and wont be anymore.  

 

Kind of like that T-formers guy who had prototypes that sold for an arm and leg recently.

 

I seriously doubt that it was some asian dude rooting through boxes in his storage.

 

And Ironmask.....Goofdick is crackin me up haha
