lol! YA i could never afford it anyway. The only way I will ever own one is by luck. Honestly I just really like the sculpt. I keep crossing my fingers I stumble across the bucket or light at a yard sale.

omgosh.. I had NO CLUE this is what they cost !!!!
I happen to have one! ! :)
so now I feel special... lol
I got mine at an antique store , just kinda tossed in a crate with some junk ( literally), but I could
spot that thing from across the room. I ran over there, got it out of the crate, dusted it off,. oooh'd and aww'd for about
10 minutes , in utter disbelief that someone would just cast it to the side like that, instead of displaying it in their "booth" ( it was an antique mall )
I cant remember exactly how much I paid, cuz its been years, but  it was some ridiculously low price. like under 10 bux for sure.
Like I said, they were acting as if it was just a junky toy..
but I had no idea this is the price someone would sell one at.. Geesh!! is it actually worth that much?  or is that ebay seller just bein crazy?

Boxed with all the goodies, one sold a few years back for about $9k as I remember, then another one popped MIB and sold for less, like maybe $6-$7k. Realistically these days, closer to $3-$5K MIB I would think. I have owned several loose ones, and in decent shape with the correct wire, speaker and screen, probably in the $1500-$2000 range.

I could see $5K for a boxed one and $1K plus some change for a loose one.

Here's a tip for anyone thinking of buying this........ I just dealt with this seller and they were willing to be very flexible with their "or best offer".    Buddy

I understand your pain. I just want something with this sculpt. It's pretty awesome.

Jeez. That reminds me of the complete box of Spook Stories cards (in individual wax packs) listed for 10k. I remember ripping open many a pack of those; and of course not keeping the wrappers.
