I was ready to buy, until I saw that he has the nerve to charge $6.50 for the shipping. Gotta give free shipping if you're gonna make the sale.  ;D ;D ;D

Ok... I emailed the seller.  Gotta know if there was some weird reason or if he’s just a moron.

I was just about to buy it when I saw the tear in the box. Can't go a penny over $25000 with that tear.

There is something extremely funny about charging $6.50 for shipping on top of 30 grand

I'm thinking about bidding $1 just to see if the BIN goes away... I'd pay $7.50 shipped for such a fantastic item.

Got a good laugh out of this.  When I click the link, it shows the listing has ended.  Then it suggests a "similar" auction for $12.

The TRU exclusive speeder bikes are so crazy. Loose complete ones are going for $60. But, I just won the bike itself on eBay for less than $20.

The Window Box version?  Not surprised to see those at a premium. They are cool sets.

Not Star Wars but peripherally related. I'm sure most of us bought them as custom fodder. Some are cool just as they are.  Look up chap mei on the sold listings on eBay.

Hard to believe there is a market for these. They won't break the bank but it's surprising that loose items typically fetch above their original retail price.

And then boxed sets like the liopleurodon or elasmosaurus going for $100 shipped is mind-blowing.

Lol! I think TRU had several window boxed ones, but I am talking the "new" sculpt/movie heroes/discover the force one.
