    It would have to be AFA graded for me to pay that much.

    I would say around $500 is closer to what it is actually worth

    In that condition, i'd pay around 600-700 bucks. No way near the price it ended at. It's simply ridiculous.

    Is it me, or have prices for boxed Japan exclusive Gestalts been a bit high lately?

    Way, way too much. Personally let go of one in better condition then that for about $500. So ....

    Someone got ripped off. Of course then again, haven't seen another one on E-bay in that good of a condition for about 9 months. Someone might have been desperate.

    i was going to drop 800 on it, but i figured there wasnt enough pics on top of there not being enough feedback(not a good combination)-not that it wouldve mattered at all......at all.

    Wow, that is a crazy price. Makes me amost want to see what my Diaclone set whould go for as it is unused as well, and IMO looks more like they did in the cartoon then the TF release.

    although it is a very nice peice, i whouldnt drop that kind of money on anything opened. but take a look at the buyer. it seems that he only collects vintage japanese releases. so to him it must have been a "must buy".

    I was thinking the same thing figuring It would end at about $900 just because of the condition and the general rising of prices but I never thought $1700. It's OPENED! I'm with sir peter north nothing is worth that much opened.

    Same here. It's not the best combiner but the giftset box is nice. I am a sucker for giftset boxes. But it's no where worth that much. Around $500-800 is a decent price for him.
