Not always true I wanted the Killer Whale Hovercraft finishing today in the morning and it went for £60 something. Too much for me and it was really low for ages as well. :-(

that seems a bit harshly high for a WHALE - was it boxed?

It was loose and missing a few of the rudders on the back but did have its slightly battered box. The price probably went up as it was an Action Force issued one not a GI Joe one.

I was watching that Whale too, but just out of interest to try to gauge prices, didn't think it was going to go cheap.

It apparently had the sledge and bike accessories too.

There are a few of them on the ebay US and Canadian sites, including one with a buy-it-now price of over $1200. Shurely shome mishtake?

I'm thinking about getting one from the States it just the shipping seems too high, people can't be arsed to ship internationally on large items any more.

what was postage on that WHALE, would have to have been free for it to be worth close to that price. Incomplete, battered box, your having a laugh mate. The problem with shipping large items overseas is that, and I would imagine it's the same in the US, is that once the package goes over 2kg the price more than doubles. I shipped a Hydrofoil, a Moccasin and some figures to Chile, took some clever packaging to keep that under 2kg.
