EGADS! The world has gone mad.

For fun, I just checked ebay for the price of a fireball XL5 toy I owned as a kid. The guy wants $800 bucks for the thing with a starting price of $500. I’m speechless...

I see that the seller “shecreature9” sells ONLY very expensive, very rare toys, and she sells A LOT of them, so the asked price may indeed be an accurate reflection of it’s value.

Too bad they don’t make cool metal toys like that anymore....some kid uses a metal toy to cut his playmate’s head off and then nobody else can have nice metal toys anymore :-(

(the item description says “Metal type: Steel” but it looks like it’s plastic)
