    Still Unbelievable

    I still have a hard time believing collectors pait over 100 dollars for this Gas Monkey Corvette. I watched 3 different ebay auctions go that high. Funny thing is a few weeks later the shelves and pegs were flooded with them for a buck. Many Walmarts had them as peg warmers for a good while along with several Dollar stores...


    Then a short time later this blue version hit the pegs...



    It's a good looking casting and all, but not even close to being worth that amount of money!!!

      When I found mine on the pegs (there were many of them) I looked at E-Bay and saw "selling" prices for around $20 so I went back to the store bought a couple more, put on E-Bay and sold them for $15......LOL

        Yes, they do....and rarely that expected "normal amount" doesn't come around, so if you missed out you are S-O-L, or you end up paying scalper rates. I saw that so often I stopped even worrying about it, if I get one I get one, if I don't it isn't the end of the world.
        The image file limits have been reset. Upper limits now are 100,000 when we have some images that exceed 5,000,000. I've set the pixels for no more than 1000 across the longest side, so if you resize to that all should be well. (The limits are larger than what I typically use, and my images turn out just fine, so I know it shouldn't be a problem)

        Thank you for your understanding.

          I had a handful of these, after realizing I'm never going to customize any, they went in the box of "giveaways" to the kids at my Home Depot store.
