I had a skystriker as a kid,but alas my father goodwilled all my joes when I was older without consulting me first. I just bought a vintage skystriker off e-bay that is 100% complete with Ace,both parachutes,box and all missiles for $170.00. I know these are not cheap and $170.00 is alot but this plane has no yellowing and still shines like new(which I have found is hard to find these days on an all white vehicle this old).Anyway how bad did I overpay?Here is the auction link:
gi.joe skystriker 1983 combat jet xp-14 with box mint - eBay (item 390019096033 end time Dec-29-08 15:35:54 PST)

Well, Hasbro will never release it again. I paid 70 for one without chutes and no box a year ago ....very white. I dunno, you got all the extras.
A Tomahawk goes up everyday because Hasbro will not re-release it. If you paid too much it was only because it was Christmas time. 100+ is not uncommon at all....for just the vehicle in nice condition. |

I think you did pretty good on the price. Considering it is in very good shape. However you got raped on the shipping.
Remember though, price is not really relevant anyway. If it makes you happy that is all that really matters. |

If you wanted it and it was in good shape, I think it was well worth it. People tend to bend you over on shipping. Somebody was selling one of those little camp set missile launcher boxes or something like that and they are in rather small packages and they were charging $20 for shipping. Kinda lame.
But, good buy for you, glad you got it. |

I dunno, but if you wanted one that was almost new, I know a guy that charges $125 for one thats restored, no box.... So thats not bad, I would think..
Traded my boxed Flak Canon and a couple figures for mine a couple months ago... But it needs seats, engine cones and has no bombs....

That's what kills me about the bay is the sellers charging excessive shipping.
