Post by Heer » Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:07 pm

Yeah, it's prices like this that are making me question whether I should sell off some of my NIB pieces. I have OOB versions of them all as well, and I sure wouldn't mind getting paid the premium prices these things seem to be demanding. Heck, it might make my wife happy to clear up some closet space too lol!

I have this ardennes stug unboxed. I bought mine from a dealer in China, but I didn't know that it's worth $80 USD. I don't think that this piece is rare or anything, but then again, I don't really check US webstores. I usually purchase overseas because I have a good relation with one of the dealers in China.

It's difficult to believe people will pay what they do. These pieces are readily available for significantly less if you look around. Who said "there is a sucker born every minute"?

Might be just a trick to bump prices up because it's Christmas. Seriously $190 for a motorcycle, a motorcycle???? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
People must be insane these days. Must be approaching 2012 or something. lol
