Sideshow Darkness Bust

[King Darkness]

Plus the thing is huge with the damn horns, so people probably didn't order because of lack of space.

Both good reasons too.

Both good reasons too.

I actually just bought one to see it in person. Then I resold it on ebay and got my money back. Sold that thing for a BIN of $699.00.

I never thought it would go up in value. Hell, I thought 250 was too many for a 900 dollar bust.

As did I, thought 100 would have been a better number.

I agree. What a fool I was.

You were but a young flipper, dont beat yourself up about it.

 

[The Chaver]

If I remember correctly it took some time to sell out only 250.

The $900 price tag didnt help though.

Well then why is this thing at 1500 now?I mean the darth maul bust has been out for around the same time and it was only $600,and now it sells for about the same.

I really don't care. You win some, you lose some. It was a kick ass bust. I would have kept it if I was a bigger Darkness fan. I plan on keeping the PF however.

Who knows. Collectibles are funny things. Look at the Weta Lotr stuff. I think the Cave Troll and Balrog took like a year to sell out and look at them now. As far as Maul goes, they made 1000 of that damn thing, that is why.

I think because collectors bought them, not flippers. You have to be a pretty huge fan to pay that much money for a non-mainstream character, so the real fans got them and are keeping them.

BTW, I think Lonnie sold his for $1300.

I always keep an eye out for them, but they are scarce (I'd buy another one to flip if the price was right)

I think that about sums it up. I only bought one myself as I said to see it in person. I never thought it would increase in value given the es and initial price point.

Yeah your wright,I forgot to factor that 1000 edition size.I didn't know it took so long to get rid of it.

I know I wanted it from day one.... but that price tag is the only thing that kept it from happening. Still one of my grails, but a damn expensive one.

[FelMar]

that darkness bust is really amazing!

its the freakiest bust out there

 

[Nomalas]

I sent an offer on the last one, but 1500 was just way too high for me.....but not for somebody else apparently!
