UPDATE. This item sold on eBay auction for its initial listed price of $3,500. There was only one bidder.

Yesterday, we saw the sale of an empty Kenner box with nothing inside for US$281.  It wasn’t even in perfect condition.  If an empty box sells for that kind of money, what about the other extreme?  How much would an ALIEN figure inside a perfect condition box sell for?

Well, we are now fortunate enough to find out. Straight on the heels of the empty box sale comes this pristine condition Kenner ALIEN figure.  It is not only complete, it’s never been open and the contents have never been disturbed.  Being kept in an acrylic case will ensure its preservation against surface damage.  What’s more, this is an uncirculated figure, meaning it has never made it to the store shelving space for sale.  It’s been removed from a packing case with minimum handling and therefore has absolute minimum wear for its age.

If a 40 year old empty box can sell for hundreds of (US) dollars, then how much will this item sell for?  We won’t be talking about hundreds of dollars on this item.  We’ll be discussing thousands.

Bidding starts at US$3,500.   Let’s see where this goes.
