This is the same with many things on eBay.
I remember coming home from Target and checking eBay the day that the Target Exclusive ROTS Lava Darth Vader was released. He was going for $150 that day, but now you can't give him away. There are some on eBay right now set at various prices with the cheapest "Buy It Now" being at $14.99. Some auctions are even starting lower than that. I think I paid $12.99 at Target for him, so it's really not bad, but at $150 people had to be desparate that first day. I also remember back in 2007 when the Transformers the Movie Deluxe Bumblebee Concept Camaro was released. He was going for around $50 at first, and now since they've made so many better versions of him it's pretty pointless to even want that first one at this point. It's all about supply and demand. It's also about sellers who think they still own an item which they feel is worth it's weight in gold, and the buyers who desparately fall for that. For instance remember the whole Beanie Baby craze? I used to work in a friend of mines Hallmark store back in the day when those things first came out. I remember one of them in particular which we used to sell for $100, mind you we only paid $2.50 wholesale for it. That one happened to be the Princess Diana bear. If you check out ebay right now you can find one for $4.50 with free shipping, but then you still have idiots like these who think they are selling you gold bars instead... Rare Princess Diana Beanie Baby bear | eBay $38,000 are your frigin kidding me??? Ok sure I read the description and know all about the difference between the PE and PVC pellets because I sold them, but comeon this is outta hand. There are also some other auctions set at $2,500... oooh I know a bargain when I see one.

Ive been saying this all along. Everyone threw a fit over Sarge. I have picked up both versions in traders with fellow board members. The USA version for a few troop builders and the TTT for a club dialtone (which I got for free), so I get a "highly desired" Sarge figure and the other guy got a "highly desired" Dialtone. I have the con DT and never liked the character so it was a win for me. As far as Zarana, I do not lcare for the female figures anyway. I never liked the character. I may try trading for the CS version at some point to have it because I think it looks cool, but pink hair no desire.
