The one that got away...

I blew it pretty good yesterday and passed up on a buy-it-now NECA Jill Valentine figure on Ebay for a fairly reasonable aftermarket price: I should have taken the plunge but somebody beat me to it later on in the day. So here's my question to you fine folks...are there RE goodies that you could've purchased but passed up on...only to have the item go OOP or reach impossibly high aftermarket prices (pretty much making the item unobtainable)? Stupid me.

Man, I feel your pain, I had seen the Resident Evil Archives book at Gamestop about four years ago, and I wanted to get it, but didn't have enough money, and little did I know that it was going to be extremely rare.

yeah for me I had RE Survivor get away from me a couple time on Ebay...but I am still trying

I just got it over the winter break, I got it at a store called Movie Trading Company, which is good because the ones on ebay keep 'dissapearing'. But it is worth it...

Good luck, but I wouldn't even bother with those, I haven't checked for a while, but the last time I checked there were a few that were about 13 or 14 dollars, plus shipping, for a Buy It Now, and that would be better than biddng up to whatever it might go to, but it has been a while, you might want to check.

Which one are you bidding on? Because I was going to bid on a copy of Resident Evil Survivor also, but I haven't yet, because I saw that you are bidding on one too, So I don't want to out bid you.

I was going to bid on one that ends in 22 hours, and it is up to 5.00 dollars.

Good luck in your search...always good to hear of somebody scoring that elusive desirable at a reasonable price no less!

Congratulations man, it is alot of fun, it has to be played in one sitting because of no saves until after you beat the game, but it is still fun.

That's the spirit! persistence will pay off...just sometimes the wait seems interminable...lol! The items that really surprise me these days are the Toybiz RE figs from a decade ago...I remember the times when toy stores couldn't give them away...now a mint packaged figure draws a lot of money...such is the marketplace!
