I've finally had a look at this listing and I do think the price is really high for the condition. The play set itself isn't mint with a damaged Trash Compactor door and crack in the canopy and also the box looks a bit shabby to me, even though it's in ok shape I struggle to see how it ended so high. I also just noticed an instruction sheet that went for £40 (and an original catalog that went for the same), so it's hard to know why this set went so high.
Saying all of that as long as the buyer is happy then that's the main thing but it does feel like the bidders got a bit carried away. In other DS news I also noticed a sealed one sold for almost £5.5K recently which shows that people are always happy to go high for the best condition (it's a beauty as well
).
