I saw that one too and couldn't help but think a few choice things about it. First, who the hell would pay $431 for a black skystriker (Boxed or not that's just freaking insane. Of course, the Flagg going for thousands of dollars just makes me want to drink some drano). Second, what kind of job must one have to be able to drop that much money on a toy; for that matter, where do you people who buy dozens of vehicles in one shot or dozens of new figures at once get the money to do so? I know there are those out there who still live with mommy and daddy at age 30-40 and don't have expenses, but damn, that can't be every collector...can it?

I've found there are way too many people with way too much money. USS Flaggs can be obtained cheaply, try craigslist. |

I don't think I will ever understand E-bay. Barnum and Bailey had something to say about all that.

Its all about money management. I dont make a insane amount of money but work all the overtime i can. Some people need to have the newest car out or the biggest LCD flat screen etc.... Im the cheapest bastard on the planet with a 9 year old Crown Vic that runs and looks good that i do 90% of the maintenance on. I have a very modest home and try to spend about $8.00 a day on food with the exception of the 2 meals that i eat when i go toy hunting twice a month. I have money in the bank and never go hungry and both parents in the ground and a insane amount amount of vintage Joe's. Its all about what your priorities are.
It just floors me to see the prices on some of this stuff; vintage and non. Would I love to have a nice Night Boomer, oh hell yeah. But I could get a hell of a lot of other things for that much money; both Joe related and life related and still just as nice. But, again, that's just me. |

Hell, I thought I scored big when I got a Maggot with Worms both in good condition plus a loose, Gnawgahyde with all accessories, excellent paint and crisp, clean fc all for $35 bucks. Followed closely by my V1 Crimson Command Chopper MIB, I think that is the single largest amount I have ever dropped on Joes. I almost wish I would have got the Stun w/flags and two motor vipers for $60 but that would have went over my personal limit *sighs*
