Interesting how there is several other sellers and the prices are all over $100 did this set get super rare all of a sudden?

Why do you care? He has a "make an offer" option. He knows he's probably not going to get $120, but he may get a $60 offer, which is a decent profit, even if he paid full retail.
Ummm
Did you click on the SOLD button?
He sold one for $70
Doesn't seem so outrageous now does it? It's a good tactic. You start way high and then accept a Best Offer that is closing to your settling price.

I think the DOCI Cobra set is starting to dry up though I haven't seen as many as I use to. Funny though I could not sell one for $30 2 months ago.

It's all about timing. Tax refunds are rolling in.

The Cobra Island sets are becoming more and more rare. They are sold out almost with every online store and have long been gone from bargain stores.
Most of the 25th exclusive multi-packs (SRO, Cobra island, etc) are almost extinct anymore.

Anyway, it seems you are unfamiliar with the practice of troop building. You can find the "Joe side" 7pks a whole lot cheaper than the "Cobra side". That's because the Cobra DoCI 7pk has 6 exclusive 25th troop builders in it. Of course due to the dull thinking of the toy makers, both sets were packed equally per case. Though I know everyone isn't as hardcore as others, I personally have 4 Cobra and 2 Joe Cobra Island 7pks. I never even saw them in a discount store. If so, I'd have a whole lot more Cobra sets. These are the collector troop building practices that drastically offset the supply and demand.

Here I'm thinking you were gonna make 'em $30 BINs, in which they would've just been sold. : )
