Rare Creature from the black lagoon Mexico blow mold

I've searched all over, I'm sure one day eBay will drop one.. someone managed to get one after posting. So worth a try! i love the search but this one seems to always dead end.. not even sure what the worth is these days, worthpoint have sold for 150.. couple years ago.. I would expect 300.. or more.

Welcome to the UMA, Creatureman31

Are you talking about these guys? They used to be on eBay all the time, but not no more.

I got this one from the UMA archives. http://www.universalmonsterarmy.com/forum/index.php?action=media

Other than that, you have to link from an outside source. Here's a good free hosting site. https://postimages.org/

1300? You think that's overpriced? I expected 500 tops..

Yeah, that's nuts! I hate it when people ask for ridiculous prices. Even when they don't get it, it just makes it the new asking price for everybody!

Yeah that sucks.. maybe it won't sell.. idk.. I was stoked to find it!

Maybe it will bring a few more to the market and one might be a real auction, instead of a crazy BIN?

Creatureman31 · May 22, 2020, 09:35:14 PM

I hope! Or a uma collector will sell me one for a modest price

Thanks for the replies!

What would you consider a fair price? 300-500 range?

Mike Scott · May 23, 2020, 01:11:41 AM

I should hope you could get one for less than $200, but it has been a while since I've seen one sell.

I believe that I'm probably the referred poster who got one on this site a few months(ish) ago. I have a pretty large Creeh collection and while once upon a time I used to see these blow molds on eBay consistently, at this point maybe one or two a year (if that). I posted and found a fellow UMA'er who was willing to sell.

I ended up paying $350 for it after some negotiation

(sexy whistle) I hope it was a purdy one!

If you've got that missing niche in your collection, sometimes you just have to be willing to pay when you see one.

Mike Scott · May 27, 2020, 01:39:39 AM

I'm glad I bought one, back when they were $35ish. Wish I had bought a couple of others!
