Well, $174.99, actually! I don't get to keep the shipping money, I actually have to spend it on shipping. But it's no different at all, and I am sincerely wishing Bannister well--I was not intending to sound judgmental. I just mentioned him because he told us that he intends to sell it and so I congratulate him on his likely success. I have sold my fair share of rare items on eBay and I don't judge anyone for it. It's just part of the hobby.
Unless someone would like to sell me a Neyo for fifty bucks? I paid through the anus for my Padme maquette and many other items in my collection, and when I need to turn a profit I have no problems using eBay to do so. I am going to have to save up in order to get a full set of clone commanders and my Gree proceeds will help me in that task. But I also try to help out others now and then. I got three light up Harry Potter busts and offered them at cost instead of putting them on eBay. So I take things on a case by case basis but certainly don't have a problem paying or charging eBay prices when the item warrants it.
