I saw this auction and just shook my head. Maybe worth about half that much.

I've had items that sit unsold for months, then suddenly it sells at auction for double my original asking price. I've seen identical items sell at wildly different prices in the same day. Ebay is a bit crazy at times.

It's all timing. I've had stuff relisted multiple times and suddenly when it sells, it goes way higher than expected.
As I mentioned, it just takes 2 people who want it at the same time.

I was watching this auction too. Once it hit $300 I lost interest all together and was just enjoying the lunacy that followed.

The only rule to get good deals on ebay is patience, time and never bid until the last second. I did not see the bidding times but I could assure the war started hours or days before the auction ended. You can bid low to keep track of the auction in your My ebay page but reserve your highest bid to the last second I have won a lot of items like that even for 2/3 or less of the price I was willing to pay.

Saw this when it listed. For all those figs, in good condition, complete, I can see it being worth it to a collector who wants a jump on a collection. Just add up the cost of gas and time driving to various stores( every other time Im in Indianapolis Kokomo toys is one of my stops and it's a forty minute drive north), admission fees to cons, etc. It could be a good deal, but as mentioned earlier, the figs condition vary greatly and just a quick look can tell an experienced viewer no way are any of those figs complete and the weapons can be more expensive than the figure. Not a total bust, but certainly no bargain. Maybe it was a dealer with a boatload of accessories and parts already to complete them or maybe use them to frankenstein together complete Joes. Most complete Joes go for around no less then $10 retail so at $5 a fig and then conplete them with a few lots here and there you could at worst break even with the cheaper figs and come out pretty far ahead with the 94 striped alley viper.

It looks like over 200 figures, plus some figure and vehicle parts. this comes to better than $5 a figure with everything else as a throw in. Not too shabby if you are just getting into building a vintage collection. There are doubles and more that might not be wanted, but at less than five bucks a figure you are going to do okay in resale.
