Post Strange or rare MODERN auctions post here when they're over
Couldn't find an equivalent thread to the one in the vintage section for discussion of modern stuff that turns up in auctions, seems like there would be.

Was anyone watching this Nostalgic Heroes GID Garamon mini auction? The end price is so appalling I had to post about it. I would definitely consider it to be pretty rare and of course Garamon is among the most popular kaiju, but still that's like 3 fiddy USD.

The nostalgic heroes garamons aren't really that rare and they usually are about 20-30 bucks a pop. I think the webstore still has the first version and there are 4 or 5 versions.

Who knows why this went so hi but lord knows I've overpaid for a ton of items.

It took me 7 years or so to track the GID down, but yeah I paid $35 for it.

For what it's worth, I don't think sharing this type of thing in the vintage thread will raise any eyebrows. Although the YJA discussion in in the Vintage subforum, it is pretty cool to share any unsual things you see there [other, non-toy items have been posted too]. And this Gary is hardly offensive by any standards I would venture. But anyways.

OKay, that auction is just stupid. Something must have been up in this case, because there is no way that makes anywhere close to reason. Like Bryce said, these are not rare at all. Sure, you might not see them come up for sale that often maybe, but a lot more frequently than other modern toys actually. They weren't limited by any low number, and aren't some exclusive. I have seen a couple come and go in the past few years. They are really liked maybe, so I would put a lot of the lack of resale on to that, but still, many of 'em arefloating around out there. And yes, 30$ is about the average I would say. Unlike say Buta toys, these have not inflated much over their new price, and NH always has stuff in their webstore for those able to access ordering within Japan. It just doesn't make any sense. Whatever, hope someone enjoys the heck out if it.

Oh, I see that you were the one that won the auction Yuck. (Har. Har.) :P

^Yeah I had to laugh at the winner's un. I've only ever bought 2 toys for more than $300, and only 2-3 more that cost more than $200. Luckily I am too patient to throw around money like that.
