I looked through the bid log, just looks like 2 legit bidders going at each other throats to see who can blow 1k on a toy.

I mean, it was 81,000 yen...there has to be an upper limit on shill bidding doesnt there? I suppose someone could be too greedy, but still.

Yeah it was the orange one.
800 is crazy for a toy. CRAZY...but who knows. I guess the person really wanted it.

Yeah but even my highest was less than half of this. I'm crazy but this is insane.

Ok, so speaking from the land of occaisonal insanity bidding.....this was ri-donkulus.

To clarify: It is one of two old school orange Bigaros produced. This is the "companion" to OG orange Chaos....orange with Green highlights, photo from the dub's flickr:

The "other" orange bigaro has light blue highlights.....and YES, absolutely shill bids in this case. Two new bidders with only "1" for feedback each. Shigahara_naguchi is a legit bidder....

This is more than I shelled out for the 1 of 2 jump rope filled patchi Bigaro last fall.

Yikes.

it's also one of those situations where i think the "insanity-i-need-to-win" aspect takes over in people's heads. it's happened to me before, but just before i get too crazy the reality sets in. for some people this probably doesn't happen. i can't look at the auction here to decide what i think.

I have the orange bigaro with blue highlights that I will sell for $750.

Any takers? :D

No it's not. So I guess I could let it go for $700.

The whole MIB thing actually adds to the ridiculousness of this. Japanese collectors especially place a premium on figures that are still bagged....but even so in this case, I don't think this figure should have reached more than $450 even in a semi-heated battle between bidders.
