Paying a lot for reggae?

I thought it was bad to spend hundreds on 1 reggae LP, but look at this...

...
not to mention the guy selling these is making a killing of something that came in cereal box.

Wow! I used to collect »Monster in my Pocket« when I was a kid. I remember that you put the bags in water and they dissolved just leaving the monster.

Why is this going for that amount - I am sure we still have some of these in the loft - is this one supposed to be special?

It's crazy isn't it - I checked the guys other auctions - about 10 of these things - mostly going for more than a $100
Who pays this money for this stuff? And would they like to buy any of the toys in my loft - I have the remnants of the 70's classic football game 'Striker' surely those little men with their 'real kicking action' must be worth about $50 each?

Yeah at least when you shell out a high price, you get something worth having - instead of some stupid piece of plastic from a cereal box.
Honestly - how come I can never find these idiots when I am trying to sell my old junk?

Maybe because they want cereal and not reggae vinyl.

That is what makes them idiots then!
That said, I have loads of junk that isn't Reggae vinyl to tempt them with!

A quick scan of eBay reveals other 'monsters in my pocket' models failing to sell for even for pennies.
Maybe they are represses

I'm not quite sure why the canadian cereal box one's should go for so much - presumably they are rarer - but so what? They are still just stupid little pieces of plastic - and they don't have any killer music cut into the plastic like a good bit of Reggae vinyl!
