Also be aware of CURRENT market value of toys, which can be well above what they originally sold for... as some people don't like to pay more than their original retail price, no matter how old it is.

For current market values, spend a little time browsing ebay (for completed listings) to see how much they are worth these days.
Also do a check of some of the dealer sites listed in our dealer section, as some can still have Reissues in stock (but expect CURRENT market value prices though).

As long as you spend some time to "window shop" around, don't feel bad about how much you spend on something you REALLY want to buy, especially if it isn't available for much less than what you ended up paying.
In other words, ignore anyone who says you paid too much, if it is current market value and/or you were willing to pay that much.
