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