Yah, I was the guy with 13seconds left thinking he had it at 750! I would have made a banking exception for that Gem. I hope my Cammy from W00zie comes in one piece can't wait to display her

LOL, yea, I knew it wouldn't last!
In the last 5 seconds it went from 750 to 1430. Everyone was waiting to snipe it.

That is true, I would have put in a bid of 1450 USD myself, because that would still have been a good price, but I wasn't allowed. Also it was impossible to contact the seller
In my opinion he lost a lot of money because of that, lucky winner by the way, 1400 USD for a Shin is very good.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Told myself not paying more than 1500, so that was the max. I was actually quite surprised it went that high, when I placed my bid it was at 1172 with 3 seconds left. Damn snipers getting too good!

I got that Shin at 1400, seller seems pretty nice, but he didn't know how to set up an auction for beans! He wanted worldwide shipping, but couldn't set it up, so like you said he excluded 60% of the customer base, also, he listed in under "lord or the rings figures" for one category and "Anime, Manga" in the other.
PCS and Sideshow statues are just like anything else I guess, you put it in a spot where most people can't find it and it won't sell as well.
Great price! Congrats! The search is finally over for Shin
