Since there is a crazy demand, it is time to cash in then. I bet the seller is hoping the same crazy guy would spend this kinda money...

Can anybody say a big or an even bigger to the three offers already sent in. This is a seriously hard to find item i will admit but,c'mon rich or not you have to have a serious mental deficiancy to pay this much for a friggin statue. The whole mentality of prices paid recently for some things is getting a little ridiculous me thinks. I mean,i can see the good in it but,i also can see the bad in it
Yep - this is a member. This was up a couple of years back at $5k. I saw it up at $10k and then change to $25k. Pretty crazy asking price especially considering they have apparently sold in the past for $500!

Anyway, I gotta say, I'm quickly becoming quite jaded on the whole collecting scene after seeing some of the ludicrous prices and scalping.

This nonstop talk about scalping is ruining my thoughts on this very forum. Every time I come here it's always about "I bought four copies of this and sold two for 4x what I paid!" bragging nonsense, and nothing about collecting.

I have seen something like this said maybe two or three times on here?

It is certainly not constantly being said

Granted a lot of members do buy to resell but how often do they actually brag about it?

It is just because it is all he is paying attention to so it seems that is all there is on here.

People have a way of seeing, hearing, or reading only what they want.



The same member tried to make his point about members buying and re-selling stuff after I sold my book. The thing he FAILED to read was that my book was not bought then sold, it was a gift. So he reads only what he wants.

This particular thread is what I'm referring to in my previous post. There's essentially no discussion about the collecting aspect, just how much items are being sold for and how much money can be made.

In my opinion, no discussion of ebay/bragging/reselling should be allowed in these 'collecting' threads.

its gonna happen, although i do not believe it is as constant as you say it is

fact of life people will discuss the value of things some will sell at a high price

best thing to do is ignore it, not inflame it

Hi all! I was just wondering if anyone had any idea at all on how to display one of these books. It's kind of an odd thing to want to frame, but I'd like to show it off instead of leaving it among the other books on the shelf.
