Re: ebay fickleness

Very interesting. I won that exact plane in June 2007 for $39.07 plus $10.50 for shipping for a total of $49.57, from this seller. I might just put it back on ebay as a Buy it Now and let the losing bidders try for it. And then I will just wait for it again and rebid. Doing a quick search on ebay for completed sales of that item, within the last 2 weeks there have been 3 sales at prices of $73.99, $50.60, and $71.50 ( including shipping ).

But, at least the prices are going up. My diecast seem to be a better investment than my stocks.

You can also get this bird right now at perry's for under $50 I think........

I've been eyeing it, but considering its non-limited and was a TM cast off I wont' pay a lot for it... that $40 mark seems reasonable to me.

Just a month ago I got Sleepy Time Gal from that seller for $50 delivered... and now that's climbing. Guess the message is buy, buy, buy during the summer doldrums and then "be good" through the winter.
