The Price of Shads
Re: The Price of Shads
Bugger!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Re: The Price of Shads
Whilst looking through eBay this afternoon it has become apparent that someone is in dire need to win them there were a few up to the £9 area with 4 days to go, it is not good news, I've already gone back to the cobra trooper buying, won one already 

CIA got you pushing to many pencils.

Oh no, have we got another Johnigoe out there? Determined to be lead bidder from the start until the close of auction, no matter how much it raises the price. Great.

Re: The Price of Shads
Hello everyone
I have been a member for a few weeks but this is my first post. It is interesting that the price of Shadows is getting higher and higher, and I had never considered that it may be American collectors who are pushing them up. When I first started collecting AF and Joes about 15 years ago there seemed to be little to no interest in anything other than original US Joes from most US collectors. I have also joined the Hisstank and Yo Joe! forums and I really like this new enthusiasm for international figures on those sites. I haven't actively collected AF for a couple of years, but the last Shad I sold was a stone minter that I think reached about £10 3 or so years ago.
My solution? Army building with
!
Mike.

Re: The Price of Shads
It's all on the day of the auction and wether or not you've got some utter berk who wants to pay £15 when you can buy them for half the price, it is essentially the luck of the draw,
