Recently we saw Rancho Obi-Wan sell a complete set of Star Wars action figures at auction for $11,5000, which leaves it up for debate of whether or not the figures were worth the price they sold for, but hey, it was for charity. However, look at what you could get for three times as much.

A private collection valued for over $100,000 is up for sale for the dirt cheap amount of $35,000. This Star Wars collection has not only action figures, but comic books, posters, and one of my Holy Grails, a life size carbonite frozen Han Solo.
Here's the details on the collection via Craigslist:
This is a collection that started in 1977 and ended approx 2005. Appraised at more than $120K. Everything has been in climate controlled storage for the last 2 years. Boxed and ready for pick up.

You can see a news report on this Star Wars collection from a few years ago.
So, what do you think? Anyone interested? Is worth the discounted sticker price?

Wow! I would imagine that there's probably 10K of quality items in the mix and 90k worth of dreck you would have to unload. ;)
ReplyDeleteBut man, that would be fun to sort though if you had that kind of cash!
You're probably correct Brian, but wow is right, it would be a blast to look through it all.
