Okay, gang... after reading the recent BH Sunshine thread, I was curious... how much would everyone pay for a BH Sunshine if one was available in an Ebay auction RIGHT NOW?

I decided to word the question this way to try to keep people from "bidding" unrealistically. The hypothetical auction is available right now, at this moment, so you can't wait for payday, and you can't save up any money... you have to use the money you have right now. So... whaddya say?

way less then 20$

why cause it's only plastic
and it's only 1.5 inches
no matter how cool it is all things fade away with people then
those who paided alot will rid themselves of the stuff cheapin dire times

[arforbes]

I voted for $401+, because I would have paid anything to win this. But as of right now, I would pay absolutely nothing because I have already scored a Blackhole Sunshine. The rest of the Super Rares are up for my fellow M.U.S.C.L.E. collectors.

[Kinnikux]

My tops would be 50 bucks. Despite how much I love muscles and how cool BH sunshine looks, over 100 for a piece of plastic is just too much for me. Id rather spend it on a lot of unreleased kinkeshi.

[Tortle]

I personally voted for the $21 to $100 range, since I would probably pay no more than $25 for the figure. My reasons are pretty much the same as Warsman's:

1) It's just a MUSCLE. I can't see paying hundreds of dollars for one.

2) Collectibles are such a volatile market that there's pretty much no way you'll get a decent return on this figure.

3) I simply can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars on collectibles, and even if I could, I would look into spending the money in better places, such as charity or improving my lifestyle.

Anyway, not to be a negative Nancy... that's just my two cents...

[BzzzapOuch]

I wouldn't pay more than $75 for a "black hole sunshine", and that's if I had a lot of extra cash just to piss away. Now a "butt-hole sunshine"...that's a different story entirely.

[TheOrgg]

I wouldn't buy it.

I'd find out where the person lives, point at 'em, ask them if they know what they have, and if they don't know how much it is worth... BAM! I knock 'em out, run in, ransac the house for it, THEN give Doctor Jay a call and cash it in for a few hundred!

Yea!

[jkaris]

That would make 3 so far...Hmmm. A little over $100.

[Knuxman]

Id only pay $60 at most.

[max powerz]

1 muscling buck. I dont care who it is i really think thats a stretch too unless tahts including shipping. I may want them all but why not just get a bootleg for a quarter.

[Rokk]

I'd spend $20 for it. My reasoning is as follows:

1. It is a 1.5" piece of plastic. I'd feel like an idjit if I dropped a ton of cash for something like that.

2. I'm always wary of dropping too much money on a collectible. Mainly because, you might not like it later in life and its value may drop greatly. If I'm thinking investment purposes then I'm avoiding collectibles. I'll buy real estate, stocks and bonds.

3. I honestly don't think it is a particularly cool figure.

[Adamantiumwulf]

20 bucks. I can't justify spending more then that on 1 figure.

He may be rare but with 100 bucks you can get a lot more then just 1 figure.

[Krangala]

I guess I'm gonna shoehorn myself into the 'idiot' category......

I'd pay $350 for a legit 'MUSCLE' one (and I'm still skeptical)

and about $30 for a Kinkeshi one......

[Ridureyu]

Less than $20.

























...Then I'd sell it for $401.

[Sniper33]

me....probley 20-50 dollars.

[GRANDTHEFT]

hmmm
i guess if i really wanted him i'd go over $100
but i'd have to really want him badly



mischa

[EVOM]

I believe in "payin the cost to be the boss," but any m.u.s.c.l.e. over the $200 range is a little insane in my book. I have bottles that display beautifully from the 1850-1875 range that are anywhere from $50-$400. That just goes to show Ya what else is out there in the world for that kind of money!

But hey, if someone only collects m.u.s.c.l.e.s and has the money to blow on em..........more power to em!

[doc_moore_j]

I would pay 401+ for any of the "super" rares. For a few reasons, one I do not collect any toys except muscle/kinnikuman related stuff, so I have extra to spend. Two, I was happy when I finished my flesh set, then I got bored so I started trying to collect as many different colors of each figure, but that is a joke, so the super rares are the only things thats left for me. I think muscle collecting will someday get boring if there is not something new to add to my collection. Don't get me wrong, muscles and my collection will never get boring, just trying to get new figures will get boring. So to see a BHS or other "super" rare added to my set would make it fun again. Know what I mean homies?

[ironmask]

i really couldn't bring myself to pay more than $10-$15 for any one m.u.s.c.l.e. figure. call it 'being brought up poor', or call it being 'a cheap bastitch'...
but if i had $400 to blow, (i'd still blow off a bunch on toys!), i have other places i would feel more justified spending it.

sorry.

[musclemenkids]

hell, i'd spend 21-100 because its within my means. perhaps if i had 300 i'd spend that if i had 500 id spend that and so on. its all relative!!!

[TheOrgg]

To put things in perspective, an extremly rare card game called "Havic: The Bothering", an unlicensed parody of Magic: The Gathering that was supposably sued out of existence for blantly ripping off Magic with one additional rule(Never, and we even mean it, buy another box of Havic. If you do, it's breaking the CCG patent held by Wizards of the Coast.), and they didn't have the money to fight WOTC from seizing a ton of cards(with titles like "Sheep F'ing Farmer" and such) from them.


I just put a bid of $100 on it. Retail Price of $10 per deck.

[Beligerant1]

For me, anything i collect is a luxury, which means i only use disposable income on it. Disposable income comes in small amounts for a college student. Big chunks of money like that dont count as disposable income in my book, that money would go into getting some roc wheels for my car. If the money i spend on muscles adds up to a chunk, which it probably does, thats different. Its all about how I percieve the money being spent. Little expenditures here and there dont set of my "cheap alarm". I said i would spend between 21-100, my max range, so basically, i would pass it up.

I dont know if any of that makes sense, just talking out of my arse

[max powerz]

Thats why i said 1 buck. I am a freshman in college and tuition is going up next year cuz i live in NY. Yup what fun.

[Tortle]

Okay, after 30 resposes, it seems like the average value of BH Sunshine is $92.67. That's calculated by taking the median of each of the values, multiplying that by the number of people who responded to each value, and averaging all the values together.

Hm... I think I spent a bit too much brainpower on this...
