The thing I don't understand is, how are the prices for some things
staying so consistently high? I've seen more Guarded Inn's go through
eBay in the last few months than I remember seeing on RTL in the last
year or more, all at a very high price.
Then again, the Launch Command triple pack I just auctioned off sold
for just over $36, which I consider to be a fairly low price
considering the fact that I've seen some people sell the largest set
in that pack for about that much, more than once.
The 1967 went for around $26, about average based on what I've seen
them go for before. Luckily I still have several of those, so I have
the choice of either selling off some more of them or breaking them up
and keeping the BK set and selling the other sets individually, which
will probably bring less money.
