Holy crap.  I Cannot believe the prices on some of this stuff.  I halfway feel like I should quite work and just sell all my SW stuff for a full time job.  Pretty sure I'd end up hating my boss though.

From this moment for all my life. What could I say? Was born to be this way. And what could I say?  Just livin' for today

I felt like I woke up after a ten year coma... when I was in college I didn't buy a Vinyl Caped Jawa because I thought $250 was crazy for one.  Now they're $1300+

I've been sorely tempted to sell mine for some time now.  Honestly I rarely look at my stuff (it is on display) but how unhappy would I be if I didn't own a DT Luke, VC Jawa?  I'd still have the others.

$20,650 won it.

I bid $951. I knew it was a worthless bid but $1000 would have been a price I'd have paid and dealt with the consequences. Most by far I've ever bid.

Wow, those are some amazing pieces.  Gotta win the lottery to add that kind of stuff to the collection.  I love that Uzay, but have never put up a grand on anything Ebay, even knowing I wouldn't win it.

Hmm, I wonder how much my carded DROIDS Boba Fett is worth now? It’s nowhere near as nice looking as that one, that is for sure. It kind of looks like it just barely survived some kind of natural disaster, but it’s still one of my most favorite pieces.

I have a 21 back Boba Fett that's cardback has seen better days. But I love it none the less. I'm jealous of your Droids one beat up card or not

How much you spend on that one late night auction where you got that box-o-carded vintage figs?  ;)

I know it's not SW, but holy crap. I bid $25. So close.

They now have 4th of these up. First went for 10k. Second for 12500 I believe. Current is at over $4000. Wow

Touche! That started out as just $125 for a vintage POTF EV-9D9 and I think $80ish for a carded Barada (those were the days).  I ended up paying that guy $1700 total, but got another 40 figures included in the purchase, including a ROTJ carded Fett.  I meant I wouldn't put up that kind of money on just one piece, but I would totally spend a grand on several pieces if it felt like a good deal.

The deal you got those figs for is insane. I know it's different, but I'd still buy every carded authenticated Blue Stars figure I could for a grand all day long.
