>>6093943I was interested for the first two sentences of your cruel joke. See this interview:
http://www.kennercollector.com/2014/03/kenner-collector-focus-interview-with-star-wars-collector-steve-denny/D- So you were tripling the price on everything equally? Did you have any sense of which toys were hot at that point? Anything selling faster than others were? Luke Stormtroopers moving faster?
S- Not really. In the beginning I didn’t even really want to fool with the figures just because there were so many of them. I remember one time of passing up a whole box of Boba Fetts on Return of the Jedi cards that some woman had. There were maybe 24 in the box. I’d never seen a box that small. It wasn’t a regular sized box. At 50 cents apiece, I passed them up! Haha. I didn’t even want them. Haha. Boba Fetts! Didn’t know why this woman had all the same ones. But that was early on you know, when we started. Well the killer was this guy I came across before I even got into Star Wars. I would just go to the flea markets with my dad, before my son was born. This guy had the action stands, the first ones. $1 apiece. He must have had 100 of them. Buck apiece! I was like “look at that dad, that’s pretty cool, it’s only a dollar.” Nah, we went on by (Steve rolls his eyes). We were looking for baseball gloves or something. And then when I got into it, I was thinking oh man, this guy was sitting there with a truckload of them. He had them in white boxes, like mail-in boxes type things. He had tons of them. He probably ripped them off or they came out of Robertson. Who knows. But just thinking back, God, $1 apiece. Haha.
