Rainman's new project [Factory Owner]

[Cap'n Cook]

Yowsers!! $6k?! The bar has been set!

 

[Greeny400]

Sorry to anyone that wants to buy this set in the future. I didn't mean to set the bar at 6K!

Lol well it's done now. You got him in hand yet Greeny?

 

[karamazov80]

I might as well go ahead and say it. I spent 6K on it. If I knew that Commtech was willing to sell I'd have definitely bought it. It's just a shame that this was put up after I'd already bought a set.

Not yet man. I would say next week some time.

 

[siquisiri]

6k??? I dont even know what to respond to that. YOu should have commissioned a custom version that comes with a real chocolate river lmaoo

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, I would expect a full 1/6 scale chocolate factory and army of midgets at that price

Do you think I overpaid? I could have commissioned a figure but I would prefer this to be honest.

I'm so sorry man. It wasn't on purpose.
Knowing now what you paid, I won't take less than my current asking price. I would love to up it to 6, but I would be uncomfortable doing that.
Now, if I can source the money from somewhere else, I will stop my sale. But if I need to offer it again later, it won't be for less than what you paid.

 

[karamazov80]

Hey, if that's what it took Greeny, then power to you! And now that the precedent is set, Commtech's asking price is only reasonable.

Seriously man, you have nothing to be sorry for. I was happy to spend that money on the figure so I can't feel upset by it. I'm just happy I'm getting these figures after a pretty long search!

mmmmmmmmmmm chocolate river......

lol, anyway... its your cash, so its all good. I also collect WWI memorabilia and ive spent quite a bit on a few pieces.

 

[Greeny400]

If it came with a chocolate river, I think I'd be pretty tempted to drink it (or fall in it like Augustus Gloop)

 

[vareika]

This figure will never be mine so not sure why I'm chiming in...but stay awhile and listen...6K is a lot of dough but at the end of the day, I totally respect that price. After all, everyone is at a different place financially so it balances out at the end of the day with what the figure is worth to each person. I live in the SF Bay Area and having lived in other states before, I can say for the amount I'm paying to own a house here, I'd have a castle in some other states. Friends from said states think I'm a ******* for paying these prices, but I like it here so to me its worth it.

 

[karamazov80]

Yeah, myself living in Louisiana, I think $6K seems like a hell of a lot more to me than it does to you guys living in California or New York

 

[Greeny400]

Well since I live in the UK I'm looking at the price being just over £4000 instead of $6000

Not really. Its still a SHI--OAD of cash!

Congrats Greeny can't wait to see your pics man! 6k is nucking futs! Does this mean the price of Bill will be going up as well? After this sale I think we will see a few H&CS Wonkas going for what 3k lol

I doubt it man its all about the Oompa. FS Wonka is still worth 1500 no doubt. That 4500 premium is for the Oompa I recon its the stand out piece of the set

Congratz on your purchase Greeny can't wait to see the pics. Trust me you won't regret it

That Oompa is officially top Rainman dog.....for now at least

 

[vareika]

Oompa is crazy
