blackdougal wrote:Most money you have ever spent on a single gaming item? Either $1200 or $1500, don't really remember now.Why? It was the first and only one I'd ever seen.Do you regret it? Nope. It got me an invite up to Rhea's house where I ended up spending, uh, several thousand dollars on more stuff from his collection and Chris Roseman's.Do you still own it? You bet.What is it? R1 Prepub.And the next biggest? Not sure... Lost Tomoachan maybe? Probably around a $1000. Just don't ask what the most I ever spent on a Star Wars toy is....

blackdougal wrote:Not sure, I haven't heard from him in a while. The last time I made a trip up there he still had quite a bit left, though most of the "big" items had already sold. That was quite a while back (couple of years or more, maybe?) and shortly after that he stopped ebaying. He might have found a bulk buyer for the remaining collection. Or maybe he got sick of ebaying... you know how tiresome that can get.

faro wrote:Hmm... in that case you'd better increase the amount you're offering for those on your AOL page, Mike, since that still only says $100 each - albeit cash. (For some reason the http://hometown.aol.com/badmike3/myhome ... iness.html link on your Acaeum profile doesn't work, btw).
