I have one of those sets, only partially done (it wasn't great). Maybe I can sell it too…

Every so often you see a crazy price, or one that is a mistake/typo. But, people are actually bidding it up? I guess if you have to have them Gobbos…

There are 16 bids so there are at least some people who think it is worth that much. BTW I'm not one of them!

It is as we all know. Its worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Max Schnell22 Jun 2020 2:15 p.m. PST

I like the set and I have large army's worth, but I am not going to drop 200 just on a box of Goblins. Ten dollars per miniature! For that kind of money on miniatures, I am more inclined to get the right 3-D printer and get/contract for a file to print out my goblins.

Silly human, there is no such thing as peak crazy on e-bay.

Ebay Russian roulette.

Instead of blowing your brains out you get a pile of Goblins when you lose.

Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. Some people seem to value those figures.

Mithmee24 Jun 2020 2:41 p.m. PST

Well gee looks like someone really wanted those Goblins.

Good thing that I have over 300 Goblins already.

Because there is no way I would pay that much for GW mini's.

From the wikipedia article on the Tulip Mania:

Tulip mania reached its peak during the winter of 1636–37, when some bulbs were reportedly changing hands ten times in a day. No deliveries were ever made to fulfil any of these contracts, because in February 1637, tulip bulb contract prices collapsed abruptly and the trade of tulips ground to a halt.[36] The collapse began in Haarlem, when, for the first time, buyers apparently refused to show up at a routine bulb auction. This may have been because Haarlem was then suffering from an outbreak of bubonic plague. The existence of the plague may have helped to create a culture of fatalistic risk-taking that allowed the speculation to skyrocket in the first place;[37] this outbreak might also have helped to burst the bubble.[38]

I just saw a John Coltrane CD that I own listed for almost $500.00 USD on Amazon!

They must love the box artwork those figures are hardly rare.
