I checked it on ebay and you're right. People selling The Last House On Dead End Street want lots of money for it but nobody bids on it. I've got lots of things that are SUPPOSED to be worth a lot of money but nobody is willing to pay that money for them so technically they're worthless. I have an extremely rare variant of the Movie Maniacs Jason toy from series 1 that's almost 12 years old and it's supposedly worth $200, but everytime I check it on ebay it's selling for $40, so it's worth $40. I've got a Leatherface variant that's almost as rare that's supposedly worth $125 but it sells for $30. I've got tons of comics that are valuable according to Wizard Magazine but they don't sell either. Putting a definitive price on a collectible is a vastly overused/unimportant thing to do. Ultimately that collectible is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. On the late night sports memorabilia shows they LOVE to tell you what cards and autographed stuff are BOOKING for and then selling it for a third of that price. That alone will tell you that price guides are useless. Who is stupid enough to believe that people are willing to sell you valuable things for nothing? Is it out of the kindness of their hearts? Are they doing you a favor? No, they're selling worthless shit for a profit just like everyone else. Why would someone say an autographed A-Rod baseball is worth $250 when you can buy a ball for 5 bucks and go to Yankee stadium during batting practice and possibly get the autograph for free? Putting high mark ups on comic books and sports cards just fucks over the young kids that most of this stuff is marketed towards. Why should a 9 year old kid that loves Spider-Man have to pay 200 dollars for Ultimate Spider-Man #1? It's not rare, they're floating around all over the fucking place. I can see really old stuff being expensive but this new stuff that's mass produced and widely available isn't worth shit in my opinion. It seems like lots of other people feel the same way about it too...
