Whoa. I got mine (in SW) for $41 a couple of years ago.

I would pay 40 (even perhaps 60) for a SW Castle Greyhawk (The real one), but not for that one.

Hmm... maybe I'm missing something...? I understand these aren't really, really common, but...

It did go for $255. Odd, to say the least. The winning bidder had the same feedback as the seller, but I'm assuming that was just a coincidence.

Just the numbers are the same. I've done business with the bidder, but I don't think I've ever done business with this seller before.

I was watching to bid on this one as well, but $255 is crazy.

I was the seller on this auction and I'm honestly as shocked as it seems you guys are! I'm not a collector but have just begun selling an old collection of stuff that was bought during my younger years. I did some estimates on the value of those items at this site but never expected it to go for that much despite the fact that they are in great condition. The buyer seems to be honest, there has been some correspondence working out the shipping details. I think I just got lucky!

Perhaps a little on the high side.

(I had one of those stickers somewhere - were they store giveaways or something?)

You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.

Don't know if this price is too high or not but I wonder what he means by a Rear Collectable.

Heh... he probably means Rare collectable...

And as far as price, I'm sure we've seen Tiamat for sale before. This is the first time I've seen it in the actual box for sale. That and all the parts are fully functionable...
