Man, SSC sure screwed the value of the Doom Exclusive by upping that edition size after the fact. Flippers ought to be hopping mad.

300-500 isn't that bad. The bad thing was upping Stealth by about 1000.

Also very nice....

so was $1300 really that far out of the ballpark?

Yes, because that auction occurred before you even asked originally and I saw it then and still thought $1300.00 was too high for a reg. So in my opinion, yes.

 

[The ill Jedi]

Like I said before, what I paid for my X Vs. S #1 was a steal in comparison to this!

but a seller still did get that inflated price, didn't he? what may be too much for one isn't for another. that's my point.

Here is a Doom that sold a week ago. Low numbered too. https://cgi.ebay.com/SIDESHOW-DR-DOOM-STATUE-PREMIUM-FORMAT-82-1000_W0QQitemZ140165792946QQihZ004QQcategoryZ86935QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Like I said before, list it for $1300.00. If it sells great. If not no big deal either.

 

[tylerd]

i've seen an item sell for twice as much as the last one that sold many times.

if you have a formula that can figure out the buyer, please enlighten. btw, the doom sold for $1150 to a walk in at my cousin's shop. isn't plastic great?

The formula is, you list the item for the price you want. If it sells, the buyer wants it. If it doesn't, they don't.

if you don't ask, you don't get.

Basically. You asked $1300.00 here didn't you. How did that work out?

even sideshow endorses. look under the FAQ, 'why preorder?'

 

[vader70450]

question for you guys>>>

do you think that eventually the bottom will fall out of the SideShow "grail" prices meaning anything Sideshow is extremely hot right now...Bowen was the same way a few years back...now Bowen stuff has pretty much died.the higher priced statues are hard to sell and have dropped in price....you guys think this piece will retain that high a value when the next big thing hits and SideShow is not the "hot" item?

 

[ComputerFly]

I don't know about that. Their LotR statues are still going for quite a bit.

Marvel must have 10 to 20 times the fan base that LotR has. Not to mention that Marvel is FOREVER. Unlike LotR, these characters will continue on and on, with new stories constantly appearing which will continue to pick up new readers and collectors. Will there be better examples of some of these pieces? Eventually. But you also have to realize that Sideshow hasn't even begun with their Marvel line. These early pieces will be must haves as collectors continue down the line of PFs and Vs. dios. I don't see these pieces slowing anytime soon.
