There's a MOC Elite of Goldust on Ebay bid up to $122 right now....
holy chocolate shark
His JAKKS figures are selling for $30/$40 loose! back in may 2012 i sold my jakks RA41 Goldust for $7.99 and in February 2012 I sold a MOC 1/1000 Mattel Goldust for $19.99 (those are going for $60/$70 now)
His Basic Royal Rumble heritage figure is selling for like $50 MOC too and I saw that plenty of times in stores
Now I sort of understand why (except why are these people spending so much when we KNOW Mattel is going to make at LEAST one more Goldust) so my question is, for anyone who sells or has sold their figures how many times have you dumped something for a crapty price only to find out some time later that it's going for 3-5x more than you got?
would you ever pay that much for a single figure knowing there is a 99% chance Mattel will be making a new one?
I can only imagine when Batista actually returns....his Elites sell for crazy prices NOW.

I'm waiting for the new one. Not in a rush to have a complete current roster on my shelf.

I still have a jakks Goldust figure but would love to upgrade him to a new Elite version (and I think we have decent odds of getting one). That is, provided the robe is soft goods or at least a softer/more flexible material than some of the jackets used on some figures. no way am I paying those insane prices for the previous elite figure.

everytime someone returns this happens.
remember when Ryback debuted. All of a sudden Skip Sheffield figures prices skyrocketed.
A couple months ago when all sources were saying that Evan Bourne was about to return.....i hurried up and got his e8 figure while it was still cheap.
Of course, Evan never even returned.

My biggest mistake I think was selling one of my Usos 2packs moc for like $35 shipped a couple years ago. But I can say I made that up by selling the Bellas for almost $100 recently.

I have an elite 6 Batista MOC. Bought it for $90, but I consider it an ancient artifact that I had to have MOC! Much like my SDCC Undertaker and Legends Andre the Giant!

I would never pay anything over retail. I sold a moc rumble Goldust for $70 two weeks ago,I thought about selling my loose one too because you know another one is right around the corner.

Is it wrong to sell my RA Goldust now? If prices are that high ? No. There's not one RA I wouldn't part ways with for that price.

Wow people will pay ANYTHING just to have a complete updated roster I didn't start collecting until Elite 16 starting hitting the shelves. Since then, paid $25 shipped for Andre (MOC), $30 for SDCC Undertaker (MOC), $8 for a WM26 Swagger (loose), $10 shipped DM Austin (MOC), $13 shipped EG HBK (MOC). $15, Mailaway Vince McMahon (loose). $50 shipped RSC FB Bret and E14 Big Boss Man (both MOC). When I started collecting, I put feelers out on Craigslist and have gotten adult owned collection for prices so unbelievable, you'd swear I'm making this all up! I had a guy sell me 30 Mattel Basics and 1 Elite 8 Regal, all from 2010-2011, MOC at $2 a piece.... Batista is the highest price I've paid for a figure. But on the flip side. I've boughten many loose E6 Batista's, less than $20 and flipped them well.... Yea, people will pay ANYTHING, lol

I really really really want that legends Andre, but I won't drop $100 on any non Masterpiece T-Former action figure and I know they will make a new Andre. So to answer the OP question, no, if I know Mattel will make a new one then I won't spend big $$$ on an older figure. My max price, where I won't feel depressed dropping the cash on a Mattel, is probably in the $40-50 range, but honestly I hate having to go over $30-35. (also I don't sell much, but have been lucky about getting stuff into the market at a products hottest)
I think Mattel, on the whole, puts out a spectacular product... a product that's intended to be in the $17-25 range. When you start talking about breaking the $50 range I'm looking for Play Arts Kai quality/size. Rounding into the $100 range I'm looking for MP T-Former quality and engineering.
And I get the whole scarcity and supply/demand thing on early Mattels and why they can reach the numbers they do, but for me I just can't justify it--especially if I have a reasonable belief I will get a new version down the road.

I found an Elite Goldust for 6 dollars last year in a bin at a comic shop.
