Scenario:

You've just won $1000 US credit from ebay to spend on Star Wars products as you see fit (just pretend). You can get as many items that fit in your budget or just 1 big juicy one. Don't forget to keep shipping in mind. Its your chance to get those certain things you wouldn't normally think about spending money on or the opportunity to finish off part of your collection.

What would you get?

What particular items would you aim for if you had money to burn?

Tell us about it in this thread or if your on ebay browsing, post a link to that particular item(s) you would get.

I'd have to start with shelling out $100 or so, for a nice, mint, loose Yak Face, since he's been the single hole in my otherwise complete loose vintage collection for quite some time now...

With the remaining $900, I'd try to get 2 or 3 real nice MOMC 12-backs, to start that collection off...  

So, where does one get this $1,000 shopping spree Chris?!  Do tell!  

well after browsing the evil empire for a little while. i think i would finish up a few things that I have been debating on wether to spend that kind of cash on.
 1. 12 back Luke
 2. Esb at at driver run
 3. more prototypes
 4. a nice batch of shelf talkers
 5. endor chase misb set

hi Chris,I'm back into collecting again!! first i'de buy a nice vader 12 back
and then a nice louis vuitton wallet for my girl  

If I'd had that kind of money, I probably would have bid on that auction.  Selling the items individually would surely have netted more than the final bid.  Shipping (and customs) would have been rather frightening).  

Perchance to dream....
My collection is sadly lacking a vintage Yak Face and blue Snaggletooth, so I'd look for them.  I'd also do a search for Padmé Amidala and Harrison Ford to see what lovely little offerings I could find there.  It'd be nice to spend a thousand bucks on Star Wars toys without feeling I was over indulging....

..... Shipping (and customs) would have been rather frightening).  

The shipping and customs would be on the buyers hands. There would be a small paypal fee to the seller (if you went that way), but that would be neglegable.

.....I do think modern items will recover a bit so POTF2 figures sell for $5-7 rather than $2-3 but that's about all.....

That is over 100% profit. If you think on a scale of buying $2000 worth of product that will be $4000 in sales making a $2000 profit minimum. A great way to make money on a hobby. Use the profit to finish your "collection" and put your $2000 back in the bank.

I believe all Star Wars products will increase near the next movies release. New collectors will join the scene because this is "the end?" of an era. They will be thinking this is their last chance to get a piece of Star Wars history. Ebay is becomming more popular and gaining members daily. More competition on a limitted market at the perfect time (next movie) should generate a juicy profit.

Their is no better money to be made than doing something you enjoy. Somebody will be selling the product if it isn't you.
