What a rare opportunity. Recently we acquired the privilige of selling new old stock mint and near mint toys from 1948 to 1970. Some of these items will never be uncovered in mint shape again. Many of them are one of a kinds, and a select few are one or 2 extras. As you know, the best opportunity for future collectible increases in value is the minty boxed vintage items. Everything is original and unplayed with.
New Seller to Ebay. Grew up in Auction Family business, but now I am working in Retail Sales. This is an extra project to save up for my College fund and support my 3 year old daughter. These items are going to be things consigned to me from local neighbors and estates. Nothing brand new, but some are never used. I will try to be specific, since I cannot answer emails at work. All of this is part time for us. Only home after work and days off. email questions to bencollector2006@yahoo.com. These items are not mine, so we maintain NO REFUNDS. Insurance issues are between you and the USPS or UPS. Must pay within 14 days or we reserve the right to resell for any reason.We have assistance with shipping which charges a few dollars extra per package for supplies and labor.
My Take:
I'm not sure who the winning bidder is, but he's certainly buying up some rare items (MMM, Batman and Captain Action if you take a look at his feedback history). This item usually sells in the $150-250 range so this prices is way outside the norm. It looks like two people who really wanted it just bid it up to this rediculous price - that's eBay for you! The under-bidder does look a bit suspicious to me with the private feedback rating - makes me wonder if it was just bid up. One thing that really aided this auction were all the images (even though the quality of the individual images weren't very good the number gives the viewer a really good idea of what's being bid on). The seller description in the ad was really good too and inspires confidence in bidding - kudos to this seller!
