There's a Hasbro 1963 Frankenstein paint by number on Ebay now. The guy is asking $7500. I believe he's waaay overboard on that price. Based on condition, what do you think it's worth? Just curious.

Even though it may be the most common of the Hasbro Paint sets, if it was M.I.B. unused new-old-stock, I wouldn't be surprised to see it fetch perhaps $2000.

So what do you think about the one he's selling? $750-800 range?

He's asking $9500 now. I think your figure is more in line-$500-$700 considering it is painted/used. It's also the most common of the 6. That seller has crazy prices on stuff but does have some great stuff.
It sold for $1499. It's missing the cardboard paint holder insert and all but one paint tub.

Painted? Missing a paint holder insert. I'm very surprised someone paid $1499.

But it sold for $1499? I don't know the seller, but he sounds like a game playing dick supreme. What's his Ebay handle? I'll look to avoid his "auctions" if and when I'm in a buying mode.
::)
The one that sold is NOT the one that's currently listed at $9500. It sold for $850. The listing said $1499 or b/o. He brought it down from his original asking price of $7500 once I talked some sense into him. I considered it, but wasn't going up to $900 or above.

What did you say? I assume a seller would just think you're trying to get it cheaper. :D
Arrrrggghhh!!! This is getting really confusing.

"It"?
Which listing sold for $850?
Quote from: RPM on November 06, 2020, 06:51:31 AMIt sold for $1499.
Is this correct? Did one just sell for $1499?
Should I understand that a Hasbro Frankenstein Painting by Numbers was listed at $7500, but then you Wolfman talked him down to a $1499 listing and he then accepted an offer of $850? And that there is now
another listing of a Frankenstein Painting by Numbers at $9500?
Why make us guess to unravel this kind of thing though? Please provide links to Ebay listings you want to discuss. And when comparing two listings, please do not use the word "it". You may know the "it" to which you're referring, but the rest of us have to guess.

I told him a similar one sold at Hake's auction for $765 a few years back, and that he can look it up. He said he had no clue what to ask for it, so he based his price on the other guy's price of $9500.

The one that was listed for $1499. The one for $9500 is still available.

I just explained below. Other people were mixing up the 2 listings. My original post is pretty straight forward.

Your original post didn't include a link. That's why other people mixed up the listings.

P.S. Incidentally when I punched in "Hasbro Frankenstein Painting by Numbers" into the Ebay Search box yesterday evening and then again just now, I found NO listings for such.

I didn't include a link, because I'm not sure how to do it. I never mentioned the listing at $9500, so others should have picked up on that. Or at least ask if I did a typo.

Couldn't be easier (if you know how to copy and paste)! Just copy the address in the address bar and paste it in your message.
The one listed for 9500 dollars has been on e-bay for quite a long time, why, I don't know, because it's obviously not going to sell at this figure. Why the person still has it listed for this length of time is totally beyond me. All you have to do is go to collectibles, hit monster, then hit "highest prices first" on e-bay, quite easy to do.
Does it cost anything to list an item on Ebay if said item does not sell?
???
If so that would explain all the listings at completely unreasonable prices.

Nope!
Good info. I wasn't aware of the policy with e-bay with these on-going listings for a long time with totally unreal price listings. Still, if the item isn't moving, why not try to list it again with a more reasonable price, doesn't make a lot of sense. So, unless the merchant is really lazy or just loves to see the item still listed at a "never to buy price" for whatever reason it is just plain dumb in my opinion to keep it on the site. It's actually sickening to constantly see the same item or items still on after a long time for the same absurd amount of money!!

I agree. He has to realize it's never going to sell at that outlandish price. I don't understand these people, nor do I want to.

I feel like sending him a PM asking him if he'd take $10 for it, just to piss him off. Lol

If Ebay charged a listing fee that was a certain percentage of the B.I.N. price it would put an end to this kind of silliness.
