Premier Collectable Auctions Makes Your Wallet Weep
I got an email recently directing me to a internet based auction site that I hadn’t heard of before, Premier Collectible Auctions. What’s interesting about the site is that it is clearly an alternative to eBay for those looking to spend a lot of money on a rare item. I don’t see myself ever buying anything from the site, but it sure is fun to look at.
Some examples of draw dropping asking prices that I found on the site include a 1978 mint on card Darth Vader figure for 7,000 bucks. Even cooler than that though is the voodoo doll of Indiana Jones that was used on screen in The Temple of Doom. That will only set you back about 50,000 dollars. If you’re thinking about being frugal, there’s always the first 300 dollar Metroid game for the NES that’s factory sealed.
Sure you can find a lot of this kind of thing on eBay, but what’s fun about this site is that it has all the high end stuff in one place. You don’t have to wade through dozens of figures that just got dug out of someone’s old sandbox to find the gems. They’re all right here for you, tempting you to take out a second (or third) mortgage.
