As you never see just the boxes, or at least I never do, I have been having to bid on complete sets. I usually drop out at the $50 to $60 mark so I never follow them after that. I picked up a set today for $89.99 using a BIN. I was wondering if the price is ok considering the condition and what the complete sets have normally been completed at?

Thanks for any feedback. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1You did well. I monitor these pretty closely, and while you might have gotten one cheaper in the last few weeks, when they hit a minor slump, it probably wouldn't have been quite as pretty. In the last week or so, they've started trending upwards again, and I assume they'll continue to do so until January. This summer they were going for far too much, in my not-so-humble opinion.

That's a pretty smart move, and there certainly isn't a shortage of OCEs up right now...7 by my count.
