I'm guessing that you can expect $500-1000+ for that thing! And no, it won't be me, too rich for my blood. |

Wow, yah, I second Sbell on that one price range especially if you sell it on ebay ;D I will be much curios to see how much this one will sell for  |

Can't wait to see the pics! ;D LOL! ;D You know, I'm pretty sure he has some ideas of how much that thing can go for ;D Hmmm  we should all pitch in and buy that figure, then we all rotate having it in our collection for a month, before it moves on to the next ;D That way we can all say we had that darn figure in our collection, you know, like time sharing? ;D |

cheers for the interest guys, any one wanna make an offer or recommend best place to raise interest? I think you're in the right place to raise interest--but I think that people are a little wary of what the price should be. See, I could make an offer that I can reasonably afford, and won't get killed by my wife. But I know that it should cost more than that, so I won't bother (and wouldn't expect you to either)--and I think that is true of many here. |

cheers guys, has any been sold before? and if so what price? i know it highly rare but need a reasonable guide... ps, hold the wedding buy this figure, may even offer a pre-wedding discount The only one we know of was bought for 10 pounds (in a lot where the seller didn't know what they had). Other than that, no one has ever even seen one for sale, hence the assumption that it should be expensive. |

Other than that, no one has ever even seen one for sale, hence the assumption that it should be expensive. Wow. That must rank as one of the biggest ebay steals in recent memory. As far as the figure goes, the market value is whatever you find someone to pay for it. Maybe an ad in Prehistoric Times? That would certainly hit the right audience (don't know how expensive that is, but ebay will charge you a pretty penny if it sells well too). I would ask at least a grand ($1000) if you go that route as an ad in PT would hit the 'serious collectors' market. Then you can negotiate from there .... ...just my 2cents worth ... |

PT ads are free to subscribers. If you're not a subscriber and are interested in dinosaurs and prehistory and such, it is worthwhile to do so.
