The last house [MISB] went for $350.95.  Ebay is soooooo fickle!

Well you have to figure that each time one goes for a high price it probably removes that buyer form the equation. There isn't an unlimited supply of buyers who are willing to pay the really high end prices so if too many more of the same thing come up in a row then each time one sells the amount the buyers are willing to pay can slide lower.

I used to believe that as well, but it seems that now, seeing one sell for $350+ justifies the price for the next one - I wonder what this auction for a NIB 5300 plus 8 rooms of furniture will close at, $600+, maybe? Update - sold for $830

It seems that the prices for playmobil on Ebay have gone up quite a bit in the last 3 monhts.  Here's a pile of junk selling of over $100. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230390644992.  Maybe there's something really rare included that I'm not aware of, but it looks like $40 worth of stuff on a good day.

And trains! Just look what trains have been going for:
a 4005 (green loco passenger train) for $232 + $35 shipping.
a 4024 (frieght train) for $212 + $35 shipping.
or a 4010 (cargo train) for $224 + $30 shipping - last year these were $164 at playmobil.com with free shipping!

You really do not need a time machine . It seems a lot of the Victorian stuff is going for a lot lately 4083
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I thought it was not too long ago that the 4083 was at the stores being discounted due to too much stock ?
