Pretty cool. Off to share.

Thank you, Tamer! I think this wall with all the flag ships and starfighters is worth taking a look at. Personally, I've never seen something similar before. I really like the idea and am going to write the seller a message.
This auction was pretty hard to find, though. It was showed to me on an auction of the "Sale" Barge. There are currently two offers: One for 1,600€ starting bid and the second for 2,500€ buy-it-now.

Remember that Jedi Temple Guard? This was sold on ebay last Sunday and is apparently worth more than even a TAC Darth Revan.
The value of Revan decreased since Hasbro announced he is being repacked in The Vintage Collection later this year, which is good. But I’d rather have the TBS 6 inch version of Darth Revan scaled down to 3.75 inches, instead.
You can get a carded TAC Revan here for about 40€ (~$43) on ebay now. For that Jedi Temple Guard you’ll have to spend some more bucks. Let’s hope Hasbro will give us a SA update of this figure in TVC, too.

Fairly interesting to see what figures go up and down.

I can remember the White Faced Meena Tills going for ridiculous amounts back when the ROTS Line came out. I bet it ain't worth regular price nowadays.

Oh, okay - that's interesting! I wasn't even aware that a variation of Meena Tills existed. I started collecting in 2005 when the ROTS collection was on shelves. Definitely a wonderful time...but I'm not even sure of I got Meena Tills in my collection. I'll check on that 
Thanks for your comment Tamer!

This is how much of a flea market ebay and their other platforms can be!

These 9 figures were sold for 10€! Shipping would've been another 3-5€...so 1,66€ per figure at the most! Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to get them.







And this is how prices for a single figure can vary within weeks:

I got this TLC Wioslea back in September:





This one here was sold last Sunday (and the blaster is not even hers...):







Talking about rising prices:





This TCW Ahsoka was sold for about 80€ plus shipping...




YouTuber OnlyOneKenobi recently shared a video about his experience with ebay and which deals he missed out:

Well, the same thing happened to me just recently and maybe you've experienced that, too? (I hope not!).


I've been watching the market for 13 years by now and usually auctions don't go as high anymore at the end of a month (due to a lack of budget).
These TCW Clone Troopers go for quite some money - even loose - by now. Some go as high as $30 to $50 a piece!
But this lot was sold for a mere of 1,50€ each last Tuesday!


64 Clone Troopers (including many rares, NO yellowing, yet!) for 87,00€ plus shipping!! Lucky winner!









Please, let us know your experience with ebay if you want to share them!

Are you looking for an instant Hoth Collection? Well, here's one!



Add: The seller wants 800€ ($880) for the lot.

[Darth More]

...

[Tamer]

Wow, now thats awesome. Someone is gonna bid that up.

[Darth More]

Well, I offered him 450€ - had to start somewhere...he said he had no idea about the price. But after my offer he said he wants 800€! I'm out.

You can see a box from tunghori in the pictures. tunghori sold those TLC Snowtroopers for $5.99 each until 2016. Today they go between $10-15 each!

I told him he'd probably get 800 bucks if he sells everything seperately. I was actually only interested in the Battle Pack...

[Darth More]

Talking about rising (if not crazy) prices. There're currently two hot & rare products from the end of TVC that were never available here in Germany:


That Jar Jar is graded at 90%, but still...

[Darth More]

There're quite a few hard to find vehicles on sale at the moment here in Germany:


Hasbro need to give us an all-new A-Wing in The Vintage Collection so bad!

[Darth More]

Some were real bargains! And sold at once...

MH Armored Assault Tank (AAT) with 3 figures
TCW Clone Turbo Tank plus more!

[Darth More]

And more big ships...
