Title: Sideshow 12" Bela Lugosi as Dracula
Post by: Count_Zirock on May 15, 2013, 12:09:56 PM
What's a fair price for one in "like New" condition? Never been out of the box, but box is just a bit shelf-worn. I've seen them listed anywhere from $150 to $300+. I've got a chance to get one for $160 (shipping included). Is that a good deal, in today's market?

Not sure.But Sideshow figures are expensive.$160 sounds fair especially if a limited figure.But I'm sure a little research will help.

That's abit expensive
it depends where it's shipping to as well
As that can be a bit pricey!!

For that price, the box should also be mint.

That is a little expensive.....I learned my lesson when I spent $125 for it and it was loose...bad choice

Incredible figure, though.

At the time only to think we were way off later :o

Yeah, I did a little research. That's how I got the $150 to $300+ range. The $160 includes shipping. I've not seen it listed for less where the shipping didn't bump it above $160, so, I took the plunge.

That makes two of us. As long as the box has never been opened, and only has the "minor shelf-ware" that they claim, i'll be satisfied.

I know...I've had many good scores there but it seems I always dwell on the bad ones.

Maybe we should start a new topic,
Your worst scores & bad buys etc!!

Great idea...I'll start of with the worst buy, my ex-wife.

I've already got the Silver Screen Edition. It was a gift quite a while back. I was told by the gift-giver he got it as part of a trade, so I have no idea what he "paid" for it.

Post by: sal460885 on May 22, 2013, 10:48:49 PM
It goes for 180 to 200 dollars now...

Apparently, it goes for $160 (shipping included), because that's what I got! Not the Standard Edition, but the Silver Screen Edition. Sonuva....! That's not what she advertised. There was no mention of Silver Screen Edition in her listing. Man, I am not amused! I'll be returning this sucker, for sure. Damn, and I was so looking forward to getting this, too.

It's so dissapointing when you look forward
to your item and its not what it should of been
it's the same when it arrives damaged it takes
the whole enjoyment out of collecting!!

UPS just picked it up for return 20 minutes ago. Hey, it'll probably be back up on Amazon soon, if anybody's interested. Seller was "halloween girl."

Wow, the SS edition is VERY desirable.

Yeah, the only one listed on Amazon goes for $200!  If they correctly re-list this one, and the price remains the same...good deal!

Found one on eBay for less than $150, even with shipping, so, hopefully, I'm finally set. :P

It's supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Hopefully, I'm not in the shower or at the hospital when they bring it.

Apparently, I was. Finally picked it up on Monday. Opened up the box, and it was expertly packed! Probably the best eBay experience I've ever had.

Right now, he's got more company than he can stand, including the Silver Screen Edition of himself. :P
