Just curious to know what you mean by reasonable... one was on mandarake at 900 something euros (that's around 1300 USD), probably disappeared in 5 to 10 mins

it's VERY true!!! believe it or not.....

people are often misled by the going yja/ebay prices...these prices don't always dictate trades & sales...thank god :)

way too many people gage everything on the going yja/ebay prices....

no matter how cool the toy/paint job,,,,nothing is worth $1k+ in my eyes!!!!!

Truth!

Just because one person is willing to spend $1000 on a toy does not make that toy worth $1000.

A seller can ask for whatever they want but you need a sucker...errr..buyer to go along with the price.

If folks had a bit more sense and passed on overpriced stuff, prices would come back down to earth.

Show me a baller and I'll show you an impatient shit head. :wink:

Value is very subjective: if you look at material value these are just (admittedly great) lumps of vinyl and they obviously aren't worth a grand or two; but then makers are always free to follow another route, let's say i.e. similar to the one Elegab often adopts. No bullshit, pretty much order if you like and be patient. No flippers really can push it too hard as there is no big limit to the numbers. Made to order.
So I'd say a seller can ask for whatever they want and you might need a sucker to go along with the price but if we take a step back and start with the makers a lot of these high prices probably wouldn't exist in the first place.
Having said this I have no doubt in believing what Oni or Jeb are saying above, I've personally dealt with Jeb and can't but confirm how solid he is.

Well it looks like those who are not going to make SDCC and score a Warhol Nag are getting a chance at something else! :shock:

Those GID's are badass! The one on the far left is my favorite.

The mixed are just creepy :twisted:

I love both these version. But I prefer the mixed parts best. Blue and orange faces are my favorites. I would have liked to see some GID with hair and some mixed without!

Re: Angora Patio

Wed Jul 20, 2011 12:09 pm

oh crap ! I'm really gonna have to enter whatever ringmarol lottery dingdongage to get one of those mixed parts. I just want one Genjin to model for my kooky fan tribute scribblings and wood hackings ....aaaaarrrrgggh...

I really dig the one green-blue one in the back--but they are all really nice. Shig is a madman.

Totally agree, that one looks like the best one of the bunch, those eyes look incredible... but to be honest I'd wouldn't complain if one of the others came my way :)
