Sealed G1 seems to be getting priced ridiculously these days.... It's funny though because as I know you're aware, a lot of the same stuff sits on ebay for bloody years unsold!Quote:

I can understand high prices for premium items, but $350 for vortex? $1500 for onslaught? Also they never quote some prices, and simply say we know a TM Hook sold for $4500?? I guess if they tell enough people these are bargains them eventually one will fall for it!Quote:

Yahoo japan has had some insane prices recently. 300,000 yen for an artfire , 250k for blue bacchus and black shadows.
Artfire is one of the exceptions though. Both he and Stepper have always sold for high prices. There have been a few Artfires and Steppers on YJ recently. Beautiful pieces - and a couple have been dead mint with no flap creases at all! which is quite rare for Japanese G1.
Wow, that is crazy! All the good stuff is ending up in Chinese collector's hands:(Quote:

Umm... what?!:eek:
How can that seller possibly say "the card looks good"? Swindle in particular has an atrocious card. :rolleyes:
Yeah, what used to happen was the shops in Hong Kong would have buyers buying most of the mint items, there was one that constantly outbid me pwg*** I think it was, I bid him up about 30,000 yen over what I would pay on several items just to see what would happen and they still won the auction. That was last year but still annoys me. :DQuote:
