Honestly, I know Quick Kick is a popular character, but I would never spend over $2,000 on ONE figure. I wonder if the seller inflated this auction because my oh my, these guys would have paid anything for him....

[Tom-1]

People who pay that much for one measly - not to mention second string - figure frighten me.

That is really pathetic. Is that even a good grade for a figure?

[Darthmaul33]

No way.

It's pretty good but not $2,000 worth of good.

[Prime2099]

I wouldn't think so.

[SKARAPZ]

and the winning bidder had 0 bids, somethings fishy @firedevil@

[King James]

Not long ago, I read in the USA Today that Michael Jackson's daily spending just for the upkeep of fruitcake ranch is something in the ballpark of $270, 000 a day. Yeah, you read that right. Thousand. But maybe they had their facts wrong....

Spending two grand on Quick Kick reminds me of that. When you've gotten to that point, you're not a collector anymore. You're an addict. Two thousand dollars on a single figure. Whether the winning bid is BS or not, some people with higher feedback numbers did bid well into the thousands. And we wonder why so many people in poor, third world countries hate westerners.

Makes me wish I could win the lottery (gonna need to start playing first) so I can buy stuff like this.

[Three Storms]

Whoever bid that is an idiot, and only serves to prove what toy grading does to the industry. There are a lot of repeat-bids from a few people with low feedback, so I suspect that there may have been some seller-induced shill bidding to gouge up the price. There's no way Quick Kick is worth 1/10 that price, graded or not.

[Ghetto Viper]

That's absurd. The guy has ZERO feedback , there is no way he is paying that. @hmmm@

[Marvel_Joe_Spider]

@puke@ $2,000 for Quick Kick

[qeelocke]

They could pay me $500.00 (or much less) to just steal it from the winning bidder. @propeller@

 

You know what I think I will just do it for free just for the hell of it.

 

Could you imagine paying that much and then coming home one day to see an empty spot on your "I paid too much for this crap" shelf! Oh hold me back guys!

[Draven79]

Okay i've seen some dumb ass things with toy grading and pricing over the years, but this one takes the cake methinks! @bH@ @loll@

If a graded Quick Kick is worth that much, I am shuddering to see how much a graded Storm Shadow or Snake Eyes would end up going for

[Ren]

Jeez, I can't believe someone would pay that for the GREY FILE CARD!!!??

I bought a grey file card moc storm shadow for $20 at a local antique store back in 1998, and I was DISAPPOINTED that it wasn't peach!! (Well, at least until I found out idiots would pay up to 600 bills for one, not that I'm ever sellin' this baby!!)

P.S. Do real joe fans ever sell their MOC's? Just wondering

Funny you should mention that...

 

AFA 90 Storm Shadow

 

and even funnier that it's not more that QK.

Man, where do people get this kind of dough to spend on toys? I spend that over a YEAR span and not on one toy @smilepunch@

 

Still, I am a little surprised to see that SS couldn't end up being higher than Quick Kick - go figure

[ares god of war]

no offense to anyone here that has (?) but that's like the people who buy the ninja commandos and pimp daddy destro. i love g.i.joe but not that much. i think the farthest i'd go would be to get a MIB terror drome.

[Prowl]

To add more to the madness - here is what an AFA Mutt and Junkyard ended up at:

I paid way way less for mine, but it's ungraded. Still, it would be cheaper for me to get it graded myself anyhow

[8speed]

This thread just goes to show ya' that there is much demand for RAH figures done with decent quality plastics and material. Hasbro should reissue stuff in higher quality more often.

yep...thats a mite steep for me lol!

[tai95]

That's kinda funny. I hadn't realized that the figure sold before.

I found it the other day on ebay with a buy it now of $9.99 and $390.01 shipping.

I wonder how many times the seller will sell this figure? There is no mention of it being relisted. Is this a good seller going bad?

[Prowl]

Or a bady buyer - it's very fishy either way - not that I'm surprised since $2,025 was a little too high for Quick Kick

[Mig]

I have one word...Shill Bidder (wait that is 2 ) Who knows, maybe this guy really really wanted it but I think you can get MOC AFA graded Storm Shadow v1, Snake Eyes v2, and a Crimson Guard for well under 2K.

 

I am a little suspect of the seller considering he was selling a figure for 9.99 then adding 390.01 for S/H. That is actually against eBay policy and should be reported since it is abuse of the S/H fees.
