He he he. They weren't thinking at all. Their mind had been taken over by some illegal substance that they had taken...
They were on star sprinkles.

Like that youtube video about the true Rainbow Brite story

What I really love is how the auction still says "Happy Holidays" in Christmas colors. Do they not realize that it is now March?

WOW on the Lurky auction- the box isn't even intact - but even if it was mint, it would be laughable-

Well, some people do Christmas all year. I mean, there are those who have a "Christmas Room" in their home where everything gets stored so it doesn't have to be taken apart for the next year!

I love overpriced auctions; they really are banking on there being a sucker born every minute.

That is some craziness. I just got a Kitty Brite not too long ago, in much better shape than that one, and I paid around $50 for it.

@ Stormberryfairy :

I think the price you mentioned would be limit for me too.
Kitty is somehow really a little rarer compared to other rainbow brite toys especially in good condition ...
but the prices some sellers demand at the moment are a bad joke.

Kitty is the last toy I miss from the original 80s-RB-toyline.

I want to buy her someday in good condition but I can t support that momentary kind of price-craziness.

I live in Germany and have to import Kitty to get one.
Quite expensive undertaking.
I never saw a european Kitty-auction.

edit :

Gee! ...nobody bought horror-price-Kitty !!! ;-)

I find that patience pays off in the Ebay world, even though it is way hard to practice it! LoL!

Your right stormberryfairy !

One has to lurk for a good opportunity ...
sometimes impatience prevails !
