| Post subject: | Screwbiter Question... Carl? |
Tried looking here before I posted, but to no avail. There happens to be a Screwbiter up on the bay that I'm sure some, if not most have noticed. So my question is about the price... is that a fair price or is that poop? It's not a grail of mine, but close. I'd pull the trigger if I knew I wasn't getting raped, but some of these figs don't surface too often so it makes them hard to gauge. |

I ain't Carl (I'd never be able to carry off the Destroy shirt and neon Bapesta's) but, like all the crap we collect, it's only worth what you personally deem it worth! If it was the last Brain you needed to complete your collection of every Brain produced you'd pay up and be happy to pay more if necessary. If you're just picking it up cos it happens to tone in with the decor it's a lotta $$$. It's all subjective, but as you say . . . . there hasn't been one available on the open market for quite awhile . . . how patient are you feeling? |

Its pricey but you could be waiting a long time. Do you like it more than the money? Its one of my top three Brains, I'd not part with mine, its not easily replaced. |

Ah, the dangling carrot. I've overpaid for some of my SB, but I feel it's worth it to be able to cross one off the list and move on to the next. |

OK, a classic brain! Paid slightly less for mine at a time of higher prices - and IMO the pink headshop is THE classic brain and I sold one recently for around $125 I think MIB, so I think this one is a bit overpriced. BUT it's Pushead, and rabid PusFans want this guy. Anyway, its like Andy said - its worth what you want to pay...so maybe its NOT overpriced. One other thing I noted, seller has some other stuff with jacked up prices which tells me something. |

Thanks everyone. It is a desired Brain for me, no doubt. But as I mentioned, not a grail. I am far more eager to snatch up some of the Secreter Brains from board members before this one, but there it is, with its single eye staring me down. Calling me out. I am leaning towards what Mr. Carl is saying too, that his prices on everything else are a tad high... Gonna mull it over some more. It has been up for a few weeks now, relisted with no action so maybe I have a little time. Thanks again. Choices choices choices |

It is a great classic figure and MIB is pretty impossible to find, but the price is definitely pretty high. I think if it was $150 instead I think it would have sold by now |

I sold mine here for $150 so anything under $200 would be fair I guess...it is only one of the best skullbrains made!! and the only one with a pus eye |

Why not double the price and watch how many show up on the for sale thread then... Looks like the price is in the ball park, but still slightly high based on the comments here. Like I said I have an offer in to the guy and we'll see if he goes for it. My guess is he may even be prowling the boards here |

Thus far tho, this is the only one. Unless any of the Secreters I'm looking for pop up before she/he gets back to me I'll be waiting to hear back. |
