[QUOTE="retrotoyinfo, post: 470338, member: 9848"] There may be that lucky find or whatever but I just disagree, I don't think there is very much at all to be had anymore at bargain prices. It's all relatively speaking. I've been buying vintage Star Wars for the last 20 years, when I started there was bargains to be found everywhere. I must admit I do find the odd bargain myself, even nowadays, but as I said it is very slim pickings. The situation of buying from America both in the prices they are asking/fetching and the postage prices has changed beyond recognition and not in a good way. The effort I have to put in now to find bargains hardly seems worth it, so I have just effectively stopped buying. About fifteen years ago I picked up a early bird certificate for £50, I could buy 12 backs for £50-£100 and POTF figures about the same. Mini-rigs boxed were about a tenner, and a lot of vintage boxed toys I could pick up for under £50. Imagine now when I see someone asking thousands for an early bird certificate or 12 backs, makes me laugh and angry at the same time. [/QUOTE]
