   People (except Star Wars ones that are newbie in the past three -5   
   Years) are wise now.  I see a crapload of stuff "not selling".  Things   
   this price are usually only sold by celebs or huge film/TV icons for   
   charity.  Usually private sellers don't get that for their stuff.   
      
   I just heard people were "booking" a Star Wars ex-collector (I'll   
   reserve what they call him now) into getting Ford and Lucas sigs for   
   several hundred or over a grand each.  INSANITY.  Those people will   
   never see a return on their "investment".  I laugh... to me it's   
   funny.  All it takes is a little patience and eventually all these   
   people can get gotten.... I've had to wait years on some, but it   
   happens and I still have only paid 100 bucks max for a single graph   
   and that was on a deceased person.
