I haven't had a single one fall apart so far. Battle Outfit Chun-Li's hair falls off at times but otherwise they've been pretty solid.

Latest I got was Taki and she's damn solid. That thing is a thing of beauty. Same with Mai who blows the old floppy Capcom vs. SNK one out of the water.

Yup. That's the one. ARAH had great figures, right till the end (personal opinion). I used to hang out with my grandmother (who was my biggest supporter, of toy collecting) and go Joe hunting, at a Sears by where she worked. She died the year before the line ended. Lost both, at around the same time. One was never the same, without the other. I think he was one of the last ones, that we picked up.

Damn. That sounds like an awesome memory to associate with the figures. Very cool!

My man... I worked at a movie theater in San Diego in the AM, then would walk to the Yellow Brick Road arcade across the hall to work the nights. Street Fighter 2 was a scene, brother. Tons of people just watching dudes play. I would stay and play after closing. hehe... great times.

I have a funny story about SF2 and Capcom. When I was a dumb kid, I was hella into SF(still am) and saw someone doing guile's magic throw. Nobody would spill the beans on how to do it, so I somehow managed to find Capcom HQ(pre internet days) and called. Ended up being transferred to James Goddard, the guy who designed Dee Jay and he told me how to do it lol. He was like, "I really shouldn't be telling you how to do this, but..."

That's awesome!

Some people on ebay have to be brain damaged. Been watching something that's selling for around $100. Lots listed for that price. And someone just buys one for $190 out of the blue. Do they think it'll be the best one because it's the most expensive? XD

Sometimes seller reputation can bring a higher price for a buyer. There are a lot of factors that play a part, which I am sure you know from being a seller. I can confidently say I usually get more for the items I sell because of my feedback and specializing in a certain line (ARAH for example).

I see people selling vintage BATs for $60-70. I get around $85-90 for mine.

Could be, I didn't dig that deep with this one. But I've seen similar things before and the sellers had shit feedback. Maybe they're paying an extra percentage to be sponsored and their listings become ads.
