    Here's a weird question, but I was in Japan for a few weeks over the summer and found all kinds of unusual toys in the hobby shops there. One transformer I saw and contemplated getting was Moon (The ridiculous Sailor-Moon-esque bunny from Beast Wars II). It was removed but returned to package and the package was in pretty good condition. Though it has no place in my collection, I thought of buying it because it only cost around $5. I passed on it however, and came home to see it on ebay, Buy It Now for $100. Do you really suppose that is anywhere near its actual value? Should I be kicking myself for not taking advantage of an opportunity to make a considerable profit with which I could have bought more toys that DO belong in my collection? Your thoughts?

    Generally, it goes for around $20-ish. I'd have bought it for $5, but I probably wouldn't lose any sleep over passing on it.

    Though there was a rare one that was a different color if I remember corectly and that might have been the one you saw for $100.

    Or it was a greedy seller who likes to overprice his items. If it had actually sold for $100, then it'd be a different matter... :p
