Fortunately, I never sold any of them, as by the time I wanted to restart in the mid 2000s, the prices had exploded to the point to where I could not afford them. It blew my mind to see common ORS that were going for 5-10 dollars close to 100 dollars.

I hope that we see days to where the ORS go for about 10 dollars and ORBs for 20... but I think those days are long gone.

I see that Igor has 4 HSUs for sale! Shades of the late 1990s!!! Wow!!!
I can't say that they are overpriced. Collectors/buyers will vote with their dollars what each piece is worth. This is capitalism at its best!
