In 1996 I found out about the smooth haired dracula and the flat top frankenstein. I immediately vowed to own one of each. After several ebay purchases for what I knew to be hidden smooth haired draculas, (all proved to be the regular version) I had given up hope. A couple of weeks ago I saw a naked mego dracula come up in the UK with a low starting bid. I watched it for a few days and no one was bidding on it. I though I'd get it for a song. Then someone bid on it. Before I left for work on the last day of the auction there was 1 bidder and the price was under $10. I set my sniper program with a $90 bid and went to work. I couldn't wait to get home and see if I won. When I opened my email I was happy to see I won. Then I was confused why I owed $163. I only bid $90. Then it dawned on me I bid 90 GBH ($163) I saw an envelope from the UK on my porch when I got home today. My $163 grail piece I paid $20 or $30 for shipping, wasn't worth putting into a box. Ripping open the envelope I was afraid at what I'd find. A mint smooth haired dracula, unbroken and awsome. Worth every penny. The sculpt is so much better IMO. I'll try to get some pics up this week. Jason

Glad it all worked out even with the extra expense."I should say I`m very much cleverer than any of the people who put me here. As a matter of fact, I could leave any time I wanted. It`s only a doll`s house after all. Anyway, I don`t mind. I like dolls" - The Mad Hatter, Arkham Asylum.Comment

Congrats Jason, it's nice to hear about a quest ending. I don't understand why people do the envelope thing, I got a carded Ursus from the UK shipped the same way.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Amazing story!! I'm sure more than a few of us have made the UK Conversion Mistake. Unbelievable your luck would turn out so well under the circumstances.
Congratulations!! That's crazy.Comment

I accidently bid 26,000 instead of 260 on something once. Lucky for me, it didn't go down to the wire.....Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions
