This may sound crazy, but it seems to me that the sale value of the Ani-Com Scar is dropping.
I have a very schizophrenic attitude to this piece – I had one, it was the first HT Pred I bought, but I wasn’t hugely impressed and I sold it soon after for about £120 and didn’t really get hooked until the AVP Ancients turned up. While it is a fairly mundane rehash of other parts, it’s now the only HT Pred I haven’t got, so every now and then I weaken and bid for one on Ebay out of blind completionism. I hold a vague hope that at some stage I can get one for a not completely insane price.
Anyway, the last couple I’ve followed through on open auction have ‘only’ ended at about £280 ($500) – which leads me to wonder, is the market weakening for these supremely rare pieces? Oddly, regular Scars seem to sell for more. Perhaps with the growing number of more recent (and IMO much better) bareheaded Predators, the uniqueness of the Ani-Com is reduced, and being further eroded by the number of people turning out their own, more film-accurate Scars based on the AVP Elder.
(And before anyone asks, I’m not trying to provoke panic-selling of Ani-Com Scars, welcome though that would be! I’m just very curious generally as to whether the value of an AVP figure has finally peaked.)
