    $15 for a deluxe.
    I can only see it as half of $30.

    There's not just one limit.

    Most of the retail stuff is, at best, barely worth the price. Every once in awhile they do something really right, like Universe 2008 Starscream, that's worth alot more. Japanese versions usually fall just outside of that range, so for instance I waited for Henkei Astrotrain to dip just a little before I bought it. Encore was priced pretty fairly with a couple of exceptions. Japanese Masterpieces, starting with Grimlock, are out of control, but so are practically all 1:6 scale figures these days. AFA isn't just out of control; it's batshit crazy. People are grading Tonka GoBots that should fetch about $20 and listing them up with $200 starting bids. If eBay went back to their old fee model of charging for listings, AFA's volume would fall off a cliff practically overnight.

    $200 has always been my limit. Always has...Always wheel. (unless I somehow find an insanely good price on Fort Max or a FLAGG)

    I never thought I had a limit but when enquiring about some customs I realise I do.

    Herc is the most I've spent on one figure and I can't see myself getting anywhere near that again tbf.
