:scout:
:shock:
I have one I am more than happy to sell for a Pound less than Baron paid for his - takign account of inflation and all that's a real bargain! :.

I paid £50 for a Rock & Roll. It was one of the last figures I needed to complete series 3, and none came along for about a year, so when I saw one in an auction bulk lot I guessed he was worth about as much as Dolphin, Moondancer et al, and offered the seller £50 to pull him from the bulk lot. Which he did. I was happy at the time. Until a few weeks later when the market was flooded with them and I felt obliged to buy them all to justify my having previously paid over the odds for him (they were, in my eyes, "bargains!"). I'm still not sure if I was happy or sad when I got one for £3.20, as not sure if it was a real bargain, or made it apparent that my first one was a tad OTT!
i did pay £77 for dolphin and moondancer that was probably the most i've spent for figures, since the snipe business started i have picked up rare ones for half the expected price :-D

but your not getting the best price, you would save money in the long run, and everything comes around eventually so if you lose you lose. there is always another.

Sorry Sundance, that was me. :roll: I just can't get enough of those Night-Vipers. Steve is right, though. It wasn't just 50p. I Think my max bid was something like £14.76.
I was going to go to £20 :oops: I'll get you next time and your little dog too.

I'm like you Chop', I probably spent twice as much (or more) trying to complete a loose figures accessories, rather then buying a complete one to start of with...

yes an easy mistake to make, you think to yourself thats cheap i'll get the accessories another time and then when you find them it costs silly money on the postage as well as the items themselves.

That was my thinking when I bought this job lot as I imagine the Minesweeper would be an absolute swine to complete and loose complete ones don't come up all that often. It's nice to get the toughest and most expensive figure out of the way early on.
