(...) Um, it's WORSE than the McD sets. It's not a limited time set, and the starting bid was 400% markup, and if the guy used the buy-5-save-$4.50 deal in the S@H catalogs, it was a 600% markup. Believe it or not, some of us PAID $11 for that McD (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

At 11pcs, and an opening price of 9.99, that's almost $1 a piece... even the eBay loony buyers balk at that for a starting price I guess! Though some parts lots regularly sell at more than that per piece by the end of the bidding. Kevin (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
