    Did I just get a GREAT Deal?

    Guys, I am knew to collect He-man. Getting them for my son. We only have about 3-4 figures. Anyway, I got a Castle Grayskull on ebay tonight. One of the first things I have gotten. I was shocked I got for $15.50. Did I really get a good deal or did I over look something?

    i've seen near new ones (everything included but the box and packaging) go for $25 at flea markets. $15.50 seems like a good price till you look at +$19.95 shipping. it's not a horrible price. probably normal online price.

    It's a little on the high side considering all the pieces that it's missing. Like EldestSon pointed out, you can get one with all the accessories (except the little weapons rack pistol) for around 25.00 most of the time. 20.00 for shipping on top of that is outrageous for Parcel Post.

    thanks guys, here I was thinking I got a great dea! I see one figure go for more than that so I thought it was a good one. The $20 shipping did seem high but being a so big I wasnt sure. Anyway, it will make my son happy and I guess that's all the counts at the end of the day, right?

    Actually it depends how far it has to ship. I have sold two of these and if you are shipping across country, $20 is very possible for parcel post. It's not the weight but the dimensions of the box that shoot the price up so high. I still think you got a good deal. I was actually watching that one for resale but I forgot about it. PM me if you have interest in the missing parts as I could probably hook you up for a pretty fair price.

    I think you got a good deal. I paid 129 for all greyskull, snake mountain, and the fright zone (but it was free shipping). It cost another 30 to complete them with everything but the cardboard cutouts....so grand total was 159....or 53 bucks a playset.....and I thought THAT was a great deal. Good Job!
