    She's hot, she's rare and she's (still) available!!

    This boxed Mego Isis has failed to sell at least half a dozen times over the last month or two:

    Mego ISIS - eBay (item 330202598834 end time Jan-14-08 16:39:17 PST)

    The boxed version was a Ward's exclusive before they decided to sell her on a blister card. IMO even the Buy It Now is a fair price for this hard to find piece. I do hope somebody will give her a good home...

    Wow. Talk about underappreciated. Didn't even break the $100 barrier. I bet the Buy It Now scared most serious bidders away. Well, perhaps she'll be relisted --for a seventh time -- and somebody will finally make an honest woman out of her...

    Actually, I think the reserve is scaring people away. Good luck, though!

    Nice presentation, but the pictures don't do the figure justice, and the reserve doesn't help. The BIN is obviously not in line with expectations, or it would have sold. $150 is probably as good as you can expect for this figure. Better pictures of the figure, including one out of the box would probably help.

    I would agree. Being a box collector myself, I wouldn't consider the box to be a C-9. It's not bad but it's not near mint either.

    I don't know what your reserve is but I would say $175-$225 or so is about as much as you are going to get.

    My suggetion would be to relist it with some better pics, start it at $175 if you are willing to accept it and let it run its course.

    There have been 3-5 of these on ebay the past 6 months. It could be a case of the supply meeting the demand. You may not have someone actively seeking this piece at the moment. I think that overall the market is soft right now, anyway.

    Who sends a figure Media Mail for $9.50? That alone tips me away from bidding. Your feedback too says you don't describe the item as good as you could. I am just stating facts from your own auction.

    I too looked at that figure but was also INSTANTLY turned off by $9.50 charge for Media mail and the C9 grade in description where it's maybe more like C6 or C7 at BEST(from these pics,anyway).

    That being said,she's still a beautiful figure in a nice enough box.Someone will snag her,eventually.
    Best of luck.

    yeah if list an item that many times you have to revamp the listing. Shipping is way out of line, and if these guys say your buy it now is high,,then it is without a doubt.

    you wouldn;t even need a reverse on that because the bidders will bid it up for you. it's a waste of money. Plus you have already lost a bunch by re-listing it 7 times. FREE shipping with buy it now also would help as well.
