Best deal you've found...

[LOTRFan]

I'm a COLLECTOR, so I buy to collect, which is to say, to add to my own collection for my own enjoyment. As a collector, I try to live by the golden rule, and treat others the way I want to be treated. I want great deals on stuff, and I know others want the same, so it would be hypocritical of me to make others pay more for something when I certainly wouldn't want to for me. I like to make money doing things I'm really proud of. As Dr. William W. Deming has said, pride in work is the real motivator for greater performance. Money is not a motivator. Dr. Deming was responsible for giving the Japanese the ideas necessary to turn them from decimated from World War 2 to being a world economic power.
I love my Wonder Woman statue, and the Super Elite Batmobile. They are awesome. The sculpt by Andy Berkowitz on the WW is awesome. As a side note, I saw the WW statue at Statue Toys for $189, but I heard some people have problems with them. Once again, WW is a great piece, and I am thrilled about it.

I was just trying to egg-on your inner super hero!

I just got a LSB Balrog and got away with only paying about $125 for it. That's about the only amazingly good deal I can remember recently.

I usually get raked over the coals

you've got to be kidding me

Come on Doug, we're talking about THE Cobra Command Center. (Just kidding.)

It is nice to see these old pieces bring this type of price tag. It makes you appreciate those "cheap" action figures we all once had.

I grabbed a HT Bank Robber Joker off ebay using the "Best Offer" option for $135.00 shipped. Now I just have to wait for it to ship in January.

Along those lines I got a HT Iron Man Mark 3 for $130 shipped off a dealer on Ebay with the Best Offer. I guess I have to wait until Jan. also

I'll tell you, those things were really rare even in 85 or 86. I never even SAW one. I had about every other GI JOE toy but it. I only HEARD about it at the time. I'm not too surprised it costs that much. Frankly, though I think the figures should be in better condition for that price. I think a grand for the whole thing would be more fair. Perhaps $900.

wth is that???

The Cobra Commander figure is a rare variant with an Mickey Mouse logo/insignia. It just looks like Mickey Mouse...

Please don't turn this thread into another of your anti-flipper crusades.

Same here but I didn't use the "Best offer" option, just won it for $115 and then added the shipping on top which came out to $135.

Damn shipping ruins every "Good Deal"

Mine's the Green Goblin LSB for about $115 shipped. Easily one of my favorite pieces, and probably my best bargain.

 

[Eternal_D]

From a tip a board member posted, I scored a Interactive R2D2 minutes before it ended or sold out for $59.99 shipped at amazon. It was only priced for an hour. And from AR-Ballistic for the Medicom MGS3 Snake croc cap for $234 shipped.
