Completed ebay listings would suggest the 3 pack is worth about $50.00

While the A-10 is worth over $100.... it has been for awhile, actually....

But 650?? - that's what I like to call the "I need more crack, because I clearly used up my stash when I listed this" price.

Supply and demand, I guess.  That and scalping.
In all honesty, I have no idea how much those are worth.  But I do expect that the fact that they're sealed and/or graded drove the prices up.

The A-10 is one of those rare oddities.  I have seen it go for over $100 a few times, but I have seen just as many that didn't sell with a starting price at, or around, $100. 

It is definitely a seller when MISB, but I think that Joe sellers, specifically commercial (not collector) tend to overprice.

so if i have one MISB and put a price of 99.99 on it would that mean i am over pricing it?    ;D

The term "scalping" pertains to new items.
Older items is a "what you will pay" market. No scalping involved as these items are no longer easily available recently.

I have a MIB A-10 for sale/trade for less than $100  :shifty:

I no longer pay attention to prices because the market goes up and down all he time. Buy what you like for a price you are comfortable with, then enjoy [s:a52ypm8m]playing[/s:a52ypm8m] displaying your collection.

Right, good point.  Sorry, I worded that badly. :-

Words to live by.  If you don't want to pay it, don't.  No need to complain about the price.
