The "Incredible prices" topic

Here's a good price for a change. I can't believe I got this fjord for less than $2USD! It must be the shipping that kept people from bidding.

Or maybe it's the fact that it has serious surface wear on the snout and tail...

High prices but also a good condition

They are beautyful   - but the prices are not that nice

Beautiful!

Ohh the buck! Love it   

Hello! I am a new collector and this is my first post! I was very lucky yesterday, at a yard sale I found an Invicta solid blue Plesiosaur for 10 cents! He has a couple of scrapes on the bottom of his body and the very tip of one back flipper is gone but for the price I can not complain. From the top he looks great.

Congratulations!!!  

Thank you very much! I didn't know what it was when I bought it. I just knew that is said something about the British Museum of Natural History on the bottom and I thought that might mean something, plus, I just like it and it was cheap. I have been primarily collecting Schleich Farm animals so I truly didn't know what I had until I came home and looked it up online.

Welcome here and congrats for that catch     

Congratulation and welcome on STS   

At a flea market last week I bought 3 retired Schleich-S for only 30 euro cents in total. It were the 1999 giraffe (#14149), the 1990 black and white cow (#13214) and the 1993 brown goat (#13223).

wow!! Congrats  

I came across the Maia+Borges sperm whale on eBay, and the seller wants almost $90 USD for it (including shipping!). Surely it's not that rare?

Not that I'm interested in it, I just think it's crazy to ask that much for it.

It costs about 7 Euros in the net-shops

That's what I figured...it better be a real sperm whale for that price!

Wrong, wrong, wrong...      This is not a recent Maia y Borges release; it's the 16063 and it is very, very difficult
to obtain...   Now, it may well be overpriced, but rare Buy-It-Now stuff usually is, and especially from this seller.

Yes, you are right,  the paintwork is quite different

Hmm I didn't notice the paint and color difference either

Plus, one was available in the mid-1990's and the other was introduced last year...
