Best buy... hard to say. I got a large neon bar sign of the Ghostbusters Logo for, I think, 1 cent, plus 15 bucks shipping! He had a 1 cent opening bid amount and no one else bid!

My best ebay sale was probably the toy 007 James Bond pistol - I bought it for a quarter at a garage sale, and put it on eBay for a minimum bid of 1 buck... eventually the bidding went up to 75 bucks! Not a bad investment/profit ratio.

Best result i had was a bundle of books all movie related stuff like visual dictionarys etc, there was i think 18 books in total all big hardbacks i won the auction for under a five pound note and the shipping on the listing was £6.
I honestly didn't expect them to turn up but they did and they were all in new condition.

Oh and i grabbed 3 larbel sabers for a good price too cant remember exactly how much but it was less than £150 LUKE ANH,LUKE ESB and VADER ANH

I got the correct car seat for my Defiant captain's chair for $40. That is 5-10 times less than they usually are. The re-upholstry will cost more than the seat did!

Hi, i actually read your thread a few times before i bid. So did you get the Graflex in the end? I lost out on one last week by 1 euro:angry. Also got a sterling to go with the hengstler. So why do people pay stupid money for a new made prop like a MR light saber when you can pick up the real deal and convert it for less than halve the cost?

Because it's "collectable"
Kinda like the beanie babies of the prop world, it's got uncle George's name on it.
