 What's the most you've paid for a single SB figure?
If it's not too tacky to ask, I'm just curious. Judging from the Not For Sale thread it seems there are some crazy rare figs out there that have managed to find their way into the hands of private collectors for a certain price.
Also will someone PLEASE buy the Twim Clear Pumpkin on Super7 so I don't have to be tempted by it anymore?!

how can you ask a question without telling the most you've paid for an item?
The most I've paid (so far) was 15,000 yen.
about $130+ depending on the yen rate.

Fair enough! So far, the most I've paid is about $160 for the FC Obake.

$270 for the Ubiq brain, which I didn't get. But I did get $100 + fees back from Celga, and Jole did me a SWEEEEEEEEEEET painting - so not all bad!

I think what you're trying to get at is what is the high end for the rare figures. The peak seems to be between 300 and 350 at the highest end. Some of the rarest/highest priced right now (IMO):
Brains: Employee, unpainted GID, Cocky
Obakes: opaque glow sheet, black twim
Mantis: the three kaiju mantids
Skullbee: I would say the translucent yellow employee even though that one isn't talked about much
Ghostfighter: unpainted GID
Skullwing: just about any of the originals: glow silver spray, glow blue spray, red
I'd say most if not all of the above can fetch over $200 at any given time.
Just some thoughts through looking at all the recent YJA and ebay auctions...

I need the friggin impossible Get On! employee version and have wanted it since the first time I saw it on Rough in august last year. those go for 221 i think it was on mandarake a long time ago. Has anyone ever seen a picture of the fabled kaiju pink or kaiju yellow skullbees?

I've seen pics of the other kaiju bees (other than green) but never in person and never for sale.

27,000 yen for a Red Skullwing I believe is the highest.
Right behind that was $550.00 for a Glow/blue spray & Glow/silver spray Skullwing pair.
