Snort.... heat-treated? Even Lyman says it's cold blue.
I should put some of my stuff up there, I could retire... It's getting so I can't afford to even shop there.

The seller even just cut and pasted the description right from Midways site, word for word! But the description added "JW" to the end of the mold number; does that have any meaning?

I'm sure JW means something, like BO means bend over. Hey, if the buyer wants to get fleeced it's his perogative. I did e-mail him with the midway link though, just to tell him he's responsible for pricing used moulds far beyond their true value.

Knew a guy that used to buy match-box cars at bi-mart and sell them on e-bay for extra spending money. I guess some people think that because they're getting it on e-bay it's going to be a good real.

I was talking with a guy at Voc-Rehab and he told me about one of his clients that sells Hotwheels on ebay and makes close to $30k a year.

It isn't just one person bidding over normal retail price, either, but several. There's a lot of it about.
