Holy Grails

[Adam West]

Is it just my imagination or are there a lot of Holy Grail items being listed on Ebay lately? I haven't been monitoring the Mego auctions but have been finding that some really rare items showing up on Ebay in other areas that I collect up for auction and was wondering if I'm not alone. I just grabbed a Buy it Now item this evening (non Mego and will share once it is in my hands) that I have been searching for years and it was 50% off what I would have paid for it. The item had a BIN or best offer and I decided to send a best offer hoping to get an even better deal but then thought "Why am I even leaving this to chance when the item is already priced to sell?" I am totally stoked and just curious if anyone else has noticed the same?

Started happening for me about 2 years ago on ebay...First it was a Let It Be Box Vinyl set that was only issued in Canada and the UK back when Let It Be was released, actually got 2 of them withing a 6 month period...and then it was a Butcher Sleeve that was in a lot of Beatles records...and from the pic it was clear that it was a paste over, so I couldn't have been the only one interested in the lot. The Butcher ended up costing about $20 after all was said and done with the lot. It's not a mint Butcher but it is a C6/7 Butcher. Lots of stuff is showing up that you wouldn't have seen years ago at decent prices...but it does swing the other way too...Been seeing a lot of stuff that just makes you shake your head, and not in a good way, when you see what the price is when it ends. Leaves you asking "Why would any collector in his right mind pay that kind of money for that??!!??"

funny, all my "grail" pieces either never show up or it would take way more money than I have to pry them lose...why can't it be a buyer's market for me :cry:
