Why isn't this selling? Too much and/or bad seller?

I think it will probably sell. As far as I know this is the first time this set has been listed. I think the starting bid is a little high, but the listing will find a buyer. 75 isn't a bad price right now, in my opinion, for this set+ case.

One thing I've noticed from GPK auctions is that they bidders usually wait until the last minute to bid. My guess is that there are probably 6-10 watchers patiently waiting for the clock to wind down.

i've noticed this too. It just was the case last night when I was watching a neon yellow Thin Lynn. I watched that thing for 6 days and was thinking maybe I had a shot at winning it at starting price until the last minute when everyone went nuts!

Every rare cheap toy auction on ebay right now will have 1 or more people sniping at the last minute. It's just a matter of who digs the deepest. Consider yourself extremely lucky if you find yourself bidding on a rare CT auction without this phenomenon occurring. I have seen a couple of decent base color lots, of 10 or more, go un-contested after opening bid, averaging at about 5-6$ per figure.

Yea I only got lucky once and got my neon red Lynn for like 15 bucks. I want a few more neons but just cant put out the cash needed at this time.

Nice score man! 15$ is an outstanding price:)

Should be about less than $7.00 each
for common figures.

just wanted to add on this thread.....noticed somebody mentioned how cheap toy bidders wait till the last second, i am one of those cheap toy guys that waits till the last possible second and goes all in. if you're wanting cheap toys, you're wasting time by bidding early. you basically decide what the top dollar you'd like to pay for the figure and put it in with less than 10 seconds remaining on rare cheap toy auctions.

Man I wish I had seen this auction. But I've only just got back into collection GPK.
