Well, no nightmares at all.... it's a matter of life, or a matter of money! After years bidding I understood that there is anything impossible to get. Some lost items (by any reason) appears again and again.... also *unique* pieces... like original screen used props... Sometimes the owner cannot pay debts.... and sells whatever to get out of risk... and then, you get another chance...
Others, is simply a patience question. I don't bid NEVER online... Why to rise the prices myself? Snipping at ending time is more helathy for my pocket... and, yes, I lost many times, but won many amy times... and pay less...
Let's talk about those props.
1. The Cibi Double Old Fashion could be bought, brand new, for around $50 online. I have three of them at similar prices.
2 and 3. This spinner and sedan are worth a penny? Don't take me wrong. I buy ANY spinner I can afford... toys, mockups, lego, pictures, negatives, blueprints, books, ANY... But this particular two ones are rusty and weird... I will not pay so much for them... Recently, I bought a pile of junk (yeah, A GREAT PILE OF JUNK) from a prop maker hobbist... only for two pieces in the lot. A resin spinner and a sedan one. The spinner needs some finishing, but it's ok. The sedan is only a project not finished at all. But... well, the complete junk was cheap.
Ebay is a great way to find some jewels, and also some junky. The main question is, where we have the boundaries as collectors... (I don't have if you ask! )
Let's fo how these auctions end....
