Word... personally I've seen custom figures sell for $500-1000+ some of Jin's customs like his most recent deadpool went for a crazy amount of $$, factor in it's 1 of a kind, all the cost in parts, paint, time and effort it's worth a lot more then retail, but the question is how much more. That's why I like him he starts all his auctions at $1 and lets the public decide (collectors) what it's truely worth. I've seen "customs" which were purely a simple headswap sell for big bucks. The customs out there that have a buy it now or starting price at $1-300+ annoy me, unless the figure itself is extemely rare, like the custom ML Dragonman figures I see listed time to time.

This is a perfect example, custom ML Captain America figure which sold for nearly $900! amazing work, but is it really worth that? starting bid was a $1

then you get someone like this who sets a buy it now price for nearly $400 for 2 custom figures that to me look kinda cool, but aren't worth a fraction
