Depends on what kinda resin you're talking about.

If you look up completed auctions on eBay, you'll see that one went on the 23rd for $143.50! Gotta love the eBay people that have no clue what something is worth.

isn't 25,000 a rather large run, especially for a chain like blockbuster?

my Blockbuster had atleast 6 of these. Interesting to see the ebay prices. May be worth it to pick up a couple of them.

I'd probably get twice as much for a Virgin Mary AVP set!! It won't degrade as quickly! Thanks for giving me a great idea.

Hey Guys,

This may sound like a strange question, but does the DVD come inside the sealed box with the busts? I got this yesterday and kept the box sealed deciding if I want to keeep them or not...the lady at BlockBuster told me the movie isn't inside the box and gave me the DVD separately. Thanks in advance!

Wow, sounds like you got a double bonus...but who knows. I saw this today at my BlockBuster, but I decided to pass on it. The only reason I would buy it is for EBAY, but I've seen some go for $100, and other have no bids whatsoever. I actually WANT the DVD, but I really have no interest in the busts.

Bought the last one at my local BBV yesterday, sold it on eBay today for...wait for it...$110!!! What a way to turn and easy, so easy $80 profit. Not bad for doing practically nothing!!!

The box set appears to be settling in $80.00 to $50.00 range, I've found one that closed above $100. It might be worth it picking up an extra, but I would wait down the road to sell it.

Count the number of bbv's out there and the amount of people who actually buy dvds at blockbuster and you really do have a GOOD chance at buying it if you look.

I would wait to sell, because everybody and their mother is going to sell now.

i've visited three blockbusters around me and there's still plenty everywhere. i don't think they'll go for much after the initial spike in interest.

and i am one!! but, there's a few over 3 and a couple prior to Tues. went for $140.
i got lucky putting out on Tues nite. and saw the market saturated, i was actually shocked that someone used 'Buy It Now' for over $100. now they are only getting 40-50.

Elijah's corollary to PT Barnum - There's a sucker born every minute, and they are all on Ebay.
