I jsut saw this item on ebay and was so overwhelmed by the price and the description of the item I had to share it. The item is one of the Australian muppet toys only just finished at mcdonalds, these have been available on ebay mint in packet for around $2AUD and this person is selling an out of packet one for $10AUD which is quite ridiculous, they are even quoting that the item is rare, can you believe that?

The same item was only available at mcdonalds for sale for $2 or free with happy meals only about 2 weeks ago.

How can it be rare!

Some people try to sell anything on ebay and ask ridiculous prices for them!

You can get the whole set for around $25AUD!

Paul :excited: :confused:

I'm sure one reason is that there are people that will pay those ridiculous prices for them.

They would have to be pretty stupid as there are many other listings of the same toy on ebay for about 0.50cents and they are in their packets. It was the added postage charges that made me laugh about the item this thread is about.

here is another one of the exact same toy but much better price

I couldnt agree more about the ugliness of these toys, lol. I only wanted them because they are muppet merchandise, and i noticed they really varied in quality, some of the kermits were cross eyed upside down eyed, it was more like a muppet monsters happy meal. lol.
