I know the guy. It's a fair appraisal to say that he is the Citadel mini collector with the largest collection on earth. He is quite reputated to have the oddest, rarest citadel minis in his boxes. I'm just puzzled as he should know (??) that this price is far OTT...

is it OTT ??

ca. 35GBPs should be the "normal" price. Well 50GBPs is not OTT but just a "high price" then.

Even I agree with Narkotic. Having sold 1/2 a dozen of this model over the last year - it usually goes for Â£25-Â£35.00 no more. I think I did 2 on BIN at Â£25.00 a couple of months back.

Not really, it was a 10GBPs start, with a reserve price and 50GBPs instant buy. It stucked at 13GBPs for days until the instant buyout occured. I think the auction would have ended somewhere 20-35GBPs.

I suppose the buyer is very busy (he is!) and just didn't had the nerves of watching and last minute bidding.
