I think the only way that will happen is if several of the old school collectors start unloading their cel collections all at once. I am not sure about you, but I am pretty sure my kids do not want any of my Macross stuff, including the cels....so eventually I would want to sell it all. With that said, it seems the appetite for SDFM/DYRL cels never seems to wane.....which is a good thing! Of course, there's always the funeral pyre option....

Yamato 1/48 VF-1S Roy Fokker Weathering Special.........60,000 JPY https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1074012588&ref=list

There is only one gif that will do when speculating on future Macross releases....

Yes

Ok...then I guess it was too subtle...

Misa cels always demand a premium.....but Mandarake auctions always tend to get out of hand with the nicer cels...no way I would have paid that kind of money today....

Perhaps my post was too subtle or the attached pic did not go through?.....

Misa Cel from DYRL......260,000 JPY https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoEn.html?index=583442 SDFM Genga.....375,000 JPY https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoEn.html?index=583441 Haruhiko Mikimoto signed/hand-drawn Minmay Shikishi.........66,000 JPY https://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/auction/item/itemInfoEn.html?index=583282

So VF-2SS was released and YF-19 on the way.......what's next?

Everything on the original Macross HMR diorama has been produced....no reason to think these will not... Believe!

Just reminded me of my SDFM musicbox....forgot all about it....now I need to find it

Not sure what happened but fixed the links....No3ljm got it!

Actually, the next decision is to educate yourself on the fair market value for the item you are trying to purchase.... If the item has been listed for over 24hrs and it still has a "buy-it-now", it means the BIN price is most likely above the current market value. Here is some info for helping you figure out the going prices for most items on YJA..... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/42369-the-new-and-improved-whats-it-worth-thread/?do=findComment&comment=1365860

LOL.... First....you initially claimed to have lost by 300 yen (a post you quickly edited)....which means you stupidly thought it was worth over 1000 usd...that was before everyone that actually knows this collectible market said it wasn't... Secondly, you are disparaging urbantreasurehunter for doing the exact same thing you are doing on ebay....essentially being a "bunghole" cel scalper yourself... Why not just embrace being a bunghole instead of a hypocrite.....you are not fooling anyone

So in this "internal" type of auction....is the YJA seller even aware of the ongoing Rinkya bidding....sounds like the seller gets no cut in that action....

Ep 36....at around 9:08

???

Yep.....he does not accept proxy/foreign bidders....guess you actually would have to read the details of his auction to know that....lol Buyee will not even accept any bids on his auctions...so they won't waste their time or that of their customers

I'm not sure how it works....but when you look at the high bid via Rinkya...it's 109k jpy.....so the Rinkya bidder won... However....I'm wondering if the seller tossed out the bid....I think he may be one of those sellers who does not allow bids from proxy bidders....but I could be confusing him with another seller.... If you want his stuff....or stuff from sellers who ban proxy bidders...you definitely can't use Rinkya

The PO offered "free" shipping for either figure....so hoping they send them out as released.... I have 2 Minmays bundled with the 1/72 Super VF-1S, which is also offered with free shipping.....so it shouldn't matter to them if they break up the orders.... Anyway, if you find out differently...let us know!

That is pretty much how I felt about it. I personally did not feel the cel justified the final auction price of 500 USD. With that said, the market indeed felt the price was justified at 500 USD. The "Rinkya" price is irrelevant to any real indicators of market value for this specific cel. As stated, it was just two guys caught up in a pissing contest.

https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/t589368725 Someone took it to 109,000 jpy via Rinkya.....lol!! That's double what any cel collector from Japan (e*E*M*** / 13) was willing to pay for it! Bid history Bidder / Ratings Price Quantity Bid time X*G*0*** / 26117 High bidder 54,000 yen 1 2018-09-02 21:09 e*E*M*** / 13 53,000 yen 1 2018-09-02 21:01 f*q*i*** / 27927 25,800 yen 1 2018-09-02 20:59 i*8*H*** / 169 12,800 yen 1 2018-08-27 00:03 3*l*l*** / 1334 11,800 yen 1 2018-08-26 23:28 Clearly whoever took it that high has no idea of actual market values for these items and is just desperate to get their hands on anything......makes urban's prices seem legit....maybe that was the intent....
