What happened here? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 5935841905

This Tsojconth went for only $730. The condition was great, even without the original ziplock bag.

Did we have too many Tsojconth's lateley? Is this a beginning of a new trend?

Hmm, it seems I was right.  Mine was going to go on eBay, but I changed my mind as 3 more went on.  Probably won't be for sale until February.

I mentioned something about absorbtion of too many of the rares. It seems I was correct. I think the market can only absorb about 1 every 60 days or so and maintain high prices.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

It was missing the original ziplock bag which shaved well over $100 off my second place bid.  Plus with so many going up in such a short time, it's a little harder to get excited about them when they appear.  
It's the least rare of the rares, and without special numbering or an unusual paper stock/folder/envelope, also the easiest to counterfeit.

I was watching this yesterday. I was thinking about dropping in a snipe of $750 - $800 just to see what would happen. Maybe end up with a nice bartering item for a good price. I changed my mind last minute on a hunch someone would drop in a much larger snipe so why bother. The Fantasy Museum's $730 win I believe was lucky. I'd be willing to bet that their reserve was much higher $1000+, it's just no one else showed up at the gate that was serious in my opinion. Nice win FM!

Question? If given the chance how many here Tsoj or not would buy one today in NM/M with the original bag no fuss or muss with guaranteed satisfaction for $1000?

I myself would pass having 2 copies, but if I didn't have one I'd jump on it.

Tsoj appears the most often, hence the lower price. But again, there are only a finite amount, and in a few years it will go up in value.

If it were on eBay, the BIN would probably be something ridiculously high.  I'm not a very big fan of BIN.  :wink:
