It's a trap!  No, literally...
Climbed a mountain & never came back. I will not quit & I always fight back 
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

You guys laugh, but one recently sold for $500, so it’s not as crazy as you’d think. People are going nuts for these things right now.

I wish I had bought a bunch of extras when I saw ‘em, oh well.

I almost regret leaving that Cara Dune Carbonized figure I saw on the pegs at my local Walmart.

But I've never bought anything for the reason of reselling it...hell, I've never sold anything in my collection.

Just out of curiosity I looked at sold listings after I found this $1000 one... the going rate seemed to be about $50 give or take.

My two Cara Dune figures arrived today from EE, both in great shape as usual.  I am now off to look at homes in Bermuda.

So I've got a saved search for the Force Link Royal Guard and whenever I can pick one up for less than about $10, I do... this morning, I got an email for this beauty...

If a loose one is worth even a third of the carded price, I'll be living down the street from Matt in Bermuda.

I don't understand how this happens.  Bots? A typo? Someone who clearly isn't interested in selling or hopes someone will accidentally click?  I'd love to know the story behind weird stuff like this.

That is a strange one. The seller has high-value sold and current bidded auctions from his/her decades-old personal collection. Clearly not new to the scene. I'm thinking they saw the same figure on Amazon during an insanely algorithm-based price spike and jacked it even more to see if anyone will bite.

I went ahead and sent him a message.  He said the auction was supposed to say $9.39 and that it was a mistake.   :)
