Got an Extra $66,000

http://cgi.ebay.com/Huge-Sealed-G1-886pc-Transformers-Collection-MISB-AFA_W0QQitemZ330278541986QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item3 30278541986&_trkparms=72%3A1205|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3 A12|240%3A1307&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Quote:
There are over 880 figures total with 292 of them in MISB/MIB/MOSC condition and span G1, Beast Wars and a handful of the Machine Wars line.
Quote:
Some highlights include:
  • Sealed Bluestreak in a box that approaches perfection
  • MIB Mail-In Megatron in original mailer
  • MIB Mail-In Reflector in original mailer
  • MIB Metroplex
  • MIB Skylynx
  • Sealed Doubledealer
  • Sealed Whirl
  • Sealed G1 Cars
  • Sealed Predacons
  • Loose Fortress Maximus
  • 5 AFA graded figures (Razorclaw, Headstrong, Tantrum, the Autobot clones Fastlane and Cloudraker and Bombshell)
  • Both Sealed Powermaster Decepticon Planes (Dreadwind and Darkwing)
And it can all be yours for the low low reserve price of $66,000.

Holy crap.

Re: Got an Extra $66,000

Hmm,

He claims he could make make if he sold the stuff individually, I know it would be a lot more work, but I don't know why he doesn't do that. Selling a lot that big would be tough for the price he's asking.

Most people don't have that kind of cash laying around.

I hope everything works out for him. He seems like he took great care in his collection and seems like a pretty nice normal guy.

Cheers!

From the looks of it I think he's just fishing to see if he can cash in on Fox news exposure and hype. He'll give it a shot and see if it pays off with a mother load.
