    Kook will drop in price in the short run, but I believe 3 years from now this is going to be sought after. I'm going to buy a few when prices fall some more.

    Bizarre - some dealer allocations were cut back presumably because it was too popular.

    You don't think it's a bit of a stretch to pluck 1 sale out of Italy on ebay to claim a whole series is a dud?

    Give it chance - sure, it might fall under RRP - but I sold a stack under RRP before it was even released. Does this make it a dud - or was it just that I got hold of some from a dealer who didn't want to make the full mark up?

    I picked up the last one from Goldslackers yesterday :D
    Short term falls in price are not a good judge ,especially from a dealer in Italy .
    Auction prices will drop in the short term but only due to the fall in spot price .
    If we look at it in 12 months time & they are only selling for just over spot they I'd call it a dud,unlike the 10 coin colored Dragon set which just isn't selling.
    Checkout the threads on Kitco on the HR Crook ,the Americans want them but can't get they're hands on them .

    Ive been seeing the crazy price PM stuff sell at feeble price levels around half the RRP .... as stated these are all a huge waste of money..

    Looks like the funnel web spider is doing well.. about the only one i would imagine forking out for.. although still not worth the massive rip-off prices PM charge.

    Sheep get fleeced.

    Just checked eBay, there were a few completed sales in the mid-60's.
