Who here thinks prices have gotten out of hand?

I have been at this since 1992. First pieces were the Bowen Batman and the Graphitti Gambit and Wolverine. Still got all 3. I am also still as good looking as I was then.

Doc Ock full size just sold for a little under $800!

Yikes!

Wow. But I can't say I'm surprised. One of those pieces that many Bowen collectors still want in their collections.

I did not feel like I saw any major drop in Bowen pieces. In fact I was surprised to see some of the busts selling for as well as they did. There is no question some pieces can be had for a good deal but that is the same for all companies depending on the piece. I have also noticed some pieces that were super hot a while ago have dropped while others have ascended in value which again always happens.

well said....Yeah pieces like Retro Cable ,Modern Nova ,Dr Ock and the GOTG box set hold their own.

The worst part is that sometimes the high priced pieces don't show up for months.

I think I waited like six months before Shi'ar Gladiator came up for sale and it ended up being on a facebook group. It never even showed up on ebay for an inflated price when I was looking.

Plenty more than that, I'd list them but too lazy. When I started collecting Doc Oct was in the 200 range. He's a gem tho. Hopefully Koto has a go at em.
