Pleased to see he's offering a 10% discount to buyer spending over $10,000 though.

That'll make up for paying roughly $9,000 too much for things!

You gotta be sh*tting me Steve? That's just making it harder for the rest of us. No wonder I never get a break on Shad's.

I don't know who's the foolish one here, the seller for charging such a high price, or the fool who's willing to pay so much?..
I'm guesing I'm not the only person who's snowed off work today..? Looks like today's a go job for Snow job..

"Who's the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows?" as I quote to the better half every time I do something ridiculous.

I've been amazed in the past about what was supposedly shelled out for something. I'd be doubtful of some of the transactions having actually taken place and possibly trying to influence other buyers into thinking the item is of that market value.

UK ebay, Shad going for £26 at the moment still with seven hours left to go. Am I right in thinking that these inflated prices for Red Shadows are a fairly recent phenomenon? They're not that rare, are they? Or is it just that a few collectors will do anything to get their hands on them

recently Shads have gone up quite alot, but it's largely due to what all sellers hope for, which is two buyers for whatever reason very intent on acquiring the item.
