 Re: What's wrong with this bigaro ?!
I think you are asking the wrong question.
The correct question is: what is wrong with the bidders that paid that much for this particular bigaro?

 Re: What's wrong with this bigaro ?!
this one was bought at around $400-something and then the buyer resold it auction-style shortly after. I didn't bite because I thought maybe something was wrong with it for it to go back up so fast. Before all that, it sat on yja at a starting bid of 50000yen, then a second time at 40000yen with no bites. I think it was the third re-listing that actually got some interest and now here's the fourth time it's been for sale. not that I was following it or anything.

Maybe they, oh, so desperately wanted to match their mini Bigaro!

 Re: What's wrong with this bigaro ?!
Now I wish I had bought it a couple weeks ago when it was only worth < 500usd.

 Re: What's wrong with this bigaro ?!
It is Silver on mine........ a little white-ish but Silver. Funny - looking at the Mook pic - it looks a little photoshopped to me...... It is Silver paint though.

Thanks for clearing that up- So that rules out the 'Super exclusive Silver Eye $750 chase' theory, The buyer must just be nuts.

 Re: What's wrong with this bigaro ?!
Not necessarily - I know for a fact I had this figure early on and Pogue had a hell of a time finding one. Finally he did and it took all the fun out of teasing him about it......... Hell - if Longang1 can't find one (or win one) you know it is a rare commodity..... Still kinda puzzled about the relisting three rimes until it was finally bid on though?

It wasn't the same figure...and yes, I feel dopey for not picking up or at least competing for the one that sold for 40,500 yen a few weeks ago.

 Re: What's wrong with this bigaro ?!
OK, I'm lost. the one that sold for 405ish usd was won by the same guy who was selling it the other day. I had that one bookmarked.
so anyway, how many were floating around?

Nice detective work. Now I'm definitely suspecting shill bidding to get that price yesterday. Originally "Hoop" who has rare figures for sale from time to time....had it listed only under "bigaro" in japanese on YJA. So a RxH serach wouldn't turn it up. First Hoop started it at BIN 60,000 yen, and it didn't sell. Then 50,000 relisted. Then 3rd relist was straight auction bidding, and it ended at 40,500. Man, I am glad I didn't "win" yesterday.
