About 10 years ago I had a dispute with ebay saying I owed them double the fees actually owed when I sold a few items. Instead of neither the double amount or correct amount, they got NONE OF IT.

I have posted earlier about some of the prices vintage Krylon spray paint goes for. Here is an auction that just finished tonight for a latter 60s Fluorescent Cerise can in pretty decent condition. As the final hammer fell bidding topped out at $405!

...and also a Fluorescent Lemon Yellow at $305.

I don’t feel so bad about some of the prices rocket kits go for.

Absolutely ridiculous what some fools will pay for PAINT regardless of rarity.
Idiotic.

Next thing you tell me is that somebody is a dung collector, paying hundreds of dollars on eBay for dung of the elusive Bonobos of Central Africa.

I’d be game for that, but I would need some guidance. I don’t know crap about dung ...

GH-

You may have seen this already, but here is your green face card Gemini-Titan kit. Looks like it is missing a couple minor items, but the price is, well, kinda out there....

Earl-
That is not a green face card K-21. It's the older much more common one.
That price is whack-job nut-case looney-bin insane.
