Captain Corndog vs. Baron Von Broccoli Action Figures

Bought: $7.90 Sold: $25.00 Fees: $3.20 Profit: $13.90

I saw this in VV and it was still new in box and I looked it up on eBay and only person was selling it for $50. I assume they were from a TV show or something. Apparently not. As far as I can tell someone created these two figures solely for the purpose of selling them. I have no idea where they would have been sold. They seem to be sold out online, but then again, who would buy these? I listed mine for $40 and figured it would never sell but if that one person did come along they would buy mine before the other one. Today I got a low ball offer so I countered with $25, which was my lowest and I came down $15 from my asking. They countered again, and I returned with $25 and they countered again and I returned again with $25. They had run out of offers. So a few minutes I got an offer of $25 from a new account with a very similar name - this guy had clearly created a new account to buy it. He clearly wanted it, and probably would have paid more, but I don't think there is anyone else out there who would buy this, so I took it. Once he paid, his Paypal name is a website, which I checked out and it is a gag gift website. I guess he is planning on reselling it? Overall a very weird sale on a very weird item that I probably should not have bought in the first place.
