If I win the lotto tonight, I'm buying that and breaking it free from its prison.

 

Up top dude. Grading is slavery.  

 

I broke one out of misb once = |. Figures were perfect and box was beutiful but, the tray was very ..not white anymore, and the window was poked through in a couple spots. Wasnt worthy of being graded by any means and even misb, it was just ever so barely worth never opening. Inner child got the best of me long story short ^^.

 

Wicked. Maybe I can find $6000 in between by couch cushions.

 

Wont, or at least shouldnt, sell for more than 3 or so. imo anyway

 

how much did the last MISB Dinoking go for..... I think it was around what 2-3 grand?

 

The last sealed one I saw actually end was a couple months ago or so, and was pretty much posted around here, probably the same one you mentioned. If I remember correctly it DID end at like 2.5 or something but, idk.. There are always crazy highs and crazy lows. In my opinion, a really nice misb shouldnt go for more than 2k, and graded idk.. maybe no more than 3k. Unless its one of the top few out there or something, then the crazy highs like 6k might happen.. imo anyway..

In the end everythings only worth what someones willing to pay so, ::shrugs::.

 

& when was the last time a sealed piece sold for under USD $2000?  

 

Got mine under 2k ^^. Sealed pieces just dont exchange hands often enough to get a fair estimate on value either, imo. I was just expressing what they are worth to me anyway. I personally dont see that afa 80 piece going more than 3 or so. If seller is even willing to haggle that low that is..

 

Sexy.

 

The last MISB dinoking set sold for $2200. A sealed individual set recently dissappeared off ebay for a private sale.I would say this is worth about $2000 to $2500 but will sell lower than higher because of the 80 grade.

 

Congrats there mate.  

Was the sale made recently or what?

 

Yeah kinda. Earlier this year, you may had seen it floating around on the bay before I got it. And of course, who knows.. If seller holds out firm, very well might could get that few ++ grand on it.

This one being graded turns me off a little bit too, personally. Unless its a straight up museum piece thats just absolutely perfectly perfect somehow still after 20+ years, dont get it graded imo <.<. It could even potentially fetch more just being mib than sealed, in the right circumstances. Gotta consider there are a ton more people out there searching for opened/unused pieces than misb graded, which is a reallllly small clientele. Idk, just my 2cents

 

Yes, yes...

As said, I'm part of that statistics.  

I've a Used giftset & yet I'm still out looking for an Unused piece...

 

At least it has high subs. A toy with those subs often gets an 85.
