I'm a little surprised this sold, it started at 150000. Beautiful vinyl, but for the $ I think I'd rather take a beautiful vacation... http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f61761578
Check out who the only other bidder was and you'll see where all the flipper dollars are being spent.
Yeah, I see that user buying/selling on YJA consistently for high prices. The seller of this Udegeruge outbid me for this same figure last summer. I think it ended at just over 100000. He also just sold a purple lips demon, a flesh eye demon, and an orange brain demon a few days ago. The demand for these "older" Rainbows isn't easing up a bit.
At that price I'd definitely take the tropical vacation over a piece of vinyl. I saw that the other day I can't believe it actually sold for 4 digits.
this is a holy grail for me - but I don't want it THAT bad - it's insanity. I wonder how much it would go for in the Phillips auction - probably more than a Renoir.
