Why did this go so high?

Post by paulitoy »

-

I found this feebay auction - poor photos, etc.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEDWX:IT

I bid £13.67 for it. I was bidder 1.

I actually thought that I was in with a chance.

It ended at £123.00!

Crazy money!

I was out at #60. There were a fair few decent figures in there and thought I was in with a shot but it seems a little overpriced at 123...

possibly the migration of interest away from Palitoy produced Action Force to Hasbro produced Action Force?

I think it may be that whoever won may not have read the description properly and may well be expecting the Star Wars figs too?

Resealable baggies. That's the way forward, obviously.

123 is steep, but i think you would have been very lucky to get it for 13.67.......
i would have guessed around 50 or 60 for whats there. thats ebay for ya, sometimes you grab a bargain that suprises the sh*t of you, other times it goes crazy!

I was watching that one too. No idea why it went high as others have said bad pics and description. Though it might have gone cheap, but was sadly wrong.

I was hoping no one would bother to follow the links to the extra pics - looking at those there were some pretty good bits...

Going against the flow of traffic on this one - but with modern prices I think it was worth over £100. Some harder to get bits in there, and as cc gies fir a tenner or so these days, stormies got his nunchucks, stuff like that, for me (if I needed bits) I'd have paid up to the price it went for, keep some of it, fix the rest up and sell them on.

all you need is a couple of buyers that want to win and as if by magic you have yourself a high winning bid, i wouldn't pay that much but you never can tell.
