As Dr. Evil would Say:

"One Meelleeon Dollars"...

Yes $1,000,000 dollars. Granted it was for an entire collection, however the collection could not have been worth more than 5 or 6000 dollars. I'll try to find the Ebay auction, end edit the post later with it.

Here's her current three times the charm auction. She started the bidding at $50,000. No reserve this time. Winner takes all!
I guess Elton John won't be getting anything this time. Well he's rich enough anyway.

haha. how can this be rare when technically its not even released yet.

$80 for alternator prime. A good thing was the free shipping from amazon, but I should've looked on ebay before pulling the trigger. Plenty there for $40.

I did pick up ricochet for $10, meister and sunstreaker for $23 each. I guess it all evens out in the end. 8-}

You answered your own question. : it's rare because it's not out yet. It's out there, in extremely limited numbers. For now.

There's a heck of alot of stuff in that auction that I've never heard of let alone seen. It's worth way over 6 grand, but how much exactly? Anybody want to figure it out individually?

The most that I have seen a TF go for was an AFA'ed 90 G1 Megatron go for $12K US on eBay.

I once sold a C10 Complete MIB Diaclone Blue Bluestreak for $3K US on eBay and a C10 Complete MIB Diaclone Dinobot set for $8K US privately.

Movie Leader Megatron: $79.95. Still not as dramatic as my first post, but considering how many people think he sucks compared to Leader Prime, which costs $39.95!
