Part of me thought it would go higher, actually. Like I said in the Mirage thread it will be interesting to see if that buyer pays for all this stuff.
Things like this Mindbender specifically are a tough call. Here is an excerpt that is a few years old but gives you an idea (give or take) as to how many were released into the wild through a source. This is by no means the actual number that are out there... there's probably more... but not many. So let's say a City Strike Scarlett which is unreleased goes for $400 on ebay tomorrow (just a hypothetical). CS Scarlett is like 15 years older and is just a repaint. And we know there's more of her out there than this Mindbender. So do the time math and the quantity math and $1,700 begins to sound just about right if you really think about it. But at the same time... not everyone is into preproduction stuff whereas a lot more people would probably want a fully painted CS Scarlett. taken from: prototypes A Cobra figure you may have never seen. This Dr. Mindbender figure was never released for production. He was going to be a part of the 1995 line. However, the project was stopped when the G.I. Joe line was canceled in 1994. Since the body design changed in 2002, it is unlikely we will ever see this figure released. Mindbender is made of a blue resin body that was painted with a white primer. He has no markings and no peg holes in his feet. Mindbender was originally owned by Kirk Bozigian, a G.I. Joe designer. Approximately 4 were released by Bozigian into the collector's market.

The value of these pieces was damaged by the bootlegging of the cast once upon a time (as seen in pics earlier on this thread)....as the fakes became more widely available, there was suddenly doubt as to the authenticity of the item whenever one popped up on the market.
It looks like johnelway's rep was able to prop this one up to a fair price, though.

Most of the auctions went for way more than they are worth. The high prices for unpainted figures in production colors makes no sense. Who ever bought this wins bonehead of the year award :

They are essentially worthless. I guess the bidders were uneducated in the prototype field, got caught up in the hype and bid high.

If that dude doesn't pay for all this stuff... I wonder if the second chance offers will be so chaotic for the seller to deal with that he is forced to simply re-list a lot of it.
