Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

It's Ramjet, i've had a standing search for it for over 2 years, I saw one ages ago sell for about $50, which I thought was a bit rich. I've seen a couple go for around the $100 to $110 mark in the last 6 months or so. I haven't seen any sell since then. the few that are on there at the moment have been there for ages.
I really want it, but it's a repaint of a toy I've already got several versions of, I might crack if I see it as low as $50 again. I have it on my "keep an eye out list" for Botcon.

There was a pair of activator ramjet & skywarp on ebay before for $80. It was awhile ago.

US$270 after 23 bids with 40 hours still to go.... for a complete set of 8 figures, all without packaging (because it has Medix & Hoist). :eek: :eek: :eek:

US$400 sold with Buy-it-Now... for just 6 of them in packaging, but includes Hoist & Medix. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Who would have thought that these would be so valuable in just a year and a half. Imagine the money you could have made on these two toys (Medix & Hoist) if you'd known, and bought up a few extras.
These were at the same price-point of Deluxes... so think how that would translate to a regular release Deluxe figure of Generations or Prime being worth 10 times its retail price in less than 2 years.
(so glad I jumped on those when they were first released)

I tried searching AFA to see if any rare RB's had been submitted for grading but I don't think I did it right :o

I vaguely recall that, I passed due to already haveing the skywarp, I didn't think I would find anyone else who was willing to fork out $40 for one.

yeah, I was in the same situation.

Wow! Not complete book binder TFC

It's sad to see that the related items at the bottom of the page when I looked, 6 out of 7 were Knock Offs, because the title of that Binder Book had the word "reissue" in it. :(

I think he meant that the tips were just not completely chromed. Seems like a good price if its the legit product and not one of the CHMS KO's. Certainly beats the $600 price it used to command.
