Looks like Res Gutter Runners are flooding the market...?

Final bid 23GBPs, but I'm not sure if potential bidders didn't bid as the seller has 0 Feedback rating.

anyway, last month a Lizzy cheerleader and a Res GR were sold together for 47GBs. Seems a drop in prices though. Strange as the rat isn't offered that often on ebay as other rare minis.

EDIT: Title of thread changed due to recent development.

I noticed that as well, I have the feeling that most collectors have or are near to completing the collection, combined with the frequency the two of them are being given out as tourney prizes (I wouldn't put it past people to claim they were holding a tourney just to get sent some freebies), there's just not the same market as there was once for old BB minis, I'm seeing a lot of 2nd edtion BG's go incredibly cheaply as well as 2nd edition teams (seen an 18 figure dwarf 2nd edition team go for Â£12 the other day).

Possibly the sign that BB popularity is slowing down a bit.

It all runs in cycles. Ebb and wane. Now may be the time to add to your collection. I would have liked to have added another Res GR to my collection but I was on the factory floor this moring and the seller had a 0 rating.

Ok, maybe they're not dropping:

90 GBP or $172. I thought I might have bid on it because it was like $30 something there for a few days, but overnight it's up to this.

You know what's annoying? The guy who's selling the GR Gertwise posted is the one who won the GR Nark posted...

Grrr... arrrr... *shakes fists at sky in anger*

what to say, free market economy.

Better picture, bigger advertisement, better auction labeling, looks more pro and the seller has a feedback of +190 instead of 0 = there you have 70GBPs profit.

Yeah, it just bugs me that it wasn't a bb-fan missing the mini (read: me) who got the bargain.

Call me a bit of a sceptic, but the left leg seems to be a little pitted (lots of very small delves in it) and the sharpness of the figure isn't present, making me think that it is possibly a copy. If I remember, I'll check it against my Res GR tonight. Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying it IS a copy, just that it might be.

look, i own alot of bb/fantasy football figures(800+).and i like to call myself a collector(though my wife would rather call me nuts). yeah, i "only" need about a dozen more of the "offical" greed workshop figs. but i think my wife would certainly have every right in the world to have me put somewhere with padded walls if i ever spent that much on one figure! and i do understand about the complete collection thing. i guess i'll just end up one rat short. thats not so bad

100 GBP, so I think the topic's title is a little misleading.

I'm starting to feel like i got mine for a bargain!!!!!!!!

We should send the buyer the link of the auction in which the seller got the mini for 23GBPs in the first place. Will make his day...
