BotCon 06 Megatron for AU$1100!!! Times must be tough...

[griffin]

OMG, this thing is worth like a few hundred dollars, if that. But someone has listed it for US$700, which comes out to over AU$1100.
Prices should be going down as less people are wanting to buy 'luxury' items like collectables.

Isn't that a repaint of Cybtertron CD Red Alert? Gosh it would cost much less to buy one and repaint... Mad... :eek:

[GoktimusPrime]

It's not just a repaint, it's also a retool - it has an entirely new head that resembles BW Megatron. So it is a rare and valuable piece... but not that valuable!! Sheesh!

I'm waiting on the Henkei version.... :p

The one that ended the other day went for $573 USD (http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-Botcon-2006-Darksyde-Megatron-Waspinator_W0QQitemZ270293163348QQcmdZViewItem?has h=item270293163348&_trkparms=72%3A1421|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A13 18&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) so this doesn't suprise me that much...

It seems to be a mix of selling something for less to get quick funds or selling for insane prices out of what could be desperation...

I've noticed an increase of sales of certain items lately, which by rights should push the overall price down for those... but it hasn't by much. Not high end items anyway. I don't think (serious) Transfomers collecters think of figures as a luxury item... more like a drug; a compulsion.

The normal bidding price in auctions goes up to $400-$600.
The Bin Price I have seen ranges from $300-$800

It's the single most expensive figure from that year's set.

The Botcon 06 and 07 toys command top prices. It Doesn't take a genious to figure out why since both represent eras from the two most successful TF lines ever.

With Pulsey, there. That's not surprising nor exorbitant. I'm probably gonna have to fork out that kinda money too one day for that. That or I find out Santa Claus actually exists. He does, right?

Oh yeah, he exists. I had a chat with him the other day, he was on the train with the Easter Bunny, they were going to visit the Tooth Fairy.. Good guy

Whoa, Sunflower here's the regular comedian now, is he? Poor Pulse can't catch a break. His leadership ambitions get crushed and now someone's stomping onto his turf. :p
