got this on ebay this week £41.49 free postage. it's one figure I just have to have. started collecting around. elte. 15 . have every elite. from there upwards. also most rare from 1/15 just need to. one day pull the trigger on the ortons/del rio's etc.. also have most of the legends. when a r.s.c comes out. those figures are hi priority to me from day one. I grabbed about five each of this and the piper eg when target Clearenced them down to $5 a few years ago.... I still don't understand why they made his robe where he can't wear it

it amazes me the prices some figures go for on ebay, ive lost count of the times ive saw figures go for way more than they should in auction when the same figure is way less with another seller Buy it Now. Its absolutely crazy how much you see this happening.

It's one thing when prices are up because some people just spend crazy amounts. Ours another when it's an artificially inflated price that just sits on eBay for months or years because the seller is too stupid or stubborn to pay attention to current rates and lower the price to a reasonable level.

Ours another when it's an artificially inflated price that just sits on eBay for months or years because the seller is too stupid or stubborn to pay attention to current rates and lower the price to a reasonable level. Like Kevin Nash for $100+ that just sits there. I can't count how many times I've seen Nash go for $100+ and not get sold. I think it's people not understanding that just because you see something for sale at that price, does not mean it will be sold for that price. There's a way you can look at ones that have actually sold and see what they sold for. That should be your benchmark. Not, "Oh, this guy has DDP for $80 so I'll list my DDP for $80. Hey, I wonder why no one bought it?" Because you're an idiot. That's why no one bought it. There are plenty of figures I would be more than happy to buy for a much larger sum of money than they originally sold for. And I have bought plenty of figures for a much higher price than they originally were. Bought if you sit there and wait for someone to shell out triple digits for an action figure, you're going to be waiting a long time. And by then, Mattel will probably just release a different version of the same guy anyway. Like Yoko, DPP, or the Brainbusters. You had your chance and you blew it.

It's to the point now where I hate to pass on anything. I'm buying things just in case I may want em later. I still need a Flashback Booker and Edge, but I'm screwed trying to find them for a reasonable price. same as that......I'm on the fence about Earthquake.....but Ill end up getting him because if Typhoon comes out Ill be effin kicking myself. As a tag team whore the whole E&C situation screwed with head BIG TIME.

Happy to say I've got 1 moc and 3 loose rsc austins, 2 loose sdcc takers, 1 signed moc Nash and another loose. Considering selling some soon. Only have one booker and boss man so def not selling those guys, message me when you are looking to sell. I need that Taker and Nash. Even though the nWo 2 pack is coming I would like a ring gear Outsider.

I must have had perfect timing when I started collecting last year. Caught the end of RSC loose figures, Austin was on there for a long time with both belts for something like $15 dollars. I think the most I payed for anything was Vader, Bossman and All Stars Jake, somewhere around 50 or 60 each MOC. Only Legends or Flashbacks I didn't get were the Brainbusters. The most expensive loose figs on RSC were Diesel and Nash, something like $35-40. Jack was on there quite a while too.
Forget about Warrior, I slid in right before he passed and got reasonable prices, they tripled or quadrupled shortly after. I got Legends Rude and L6 Warrior MOC for $50 last year.
Strike while the iron is hot!
