Anybody have a Crazy Climber they want to sell or possibly trade for a pin???My buddy is looking for one and has several pins available..What do these cost????Havent seen one for a while..
I saw a Taito
Crazy Climber on eBay this morning with 5 minutes to go in the auction. Seller had set opening bid at $700.
Auction ended with no bids. It's in Kansas. Maybe write the seller and make an offer? I wouldn't offer more than $400 in this market, especially if you have to ship.
I briefly pursued a very nice HUO Taito
Crazy Climber on eBay last winter. Seller set opening bid price at $700. I did not bid because seller initially agreed to let me ship with NAVL and then backed out on that 24 hours later. It went for $700 with only one person bidding. The buyer tried to flip it on craigslist three days later. That one was in Ohio.
For some reason every time a Taito
Crazy Climber gets listed for sale the asking price is a minimum of $700, or so it seems. Maybe I just miss the better deals when I'm not looking. I do remember reading not long ago that someone on KLOV picked up a Taito
Crazy Climber for under $200 this summer. I think that one was a craigslist listing. It wasn't in bad shape, either.
I never see the Nichibutsu versions for sale ever. If those ever change hands it is likely directly, between collectors only.
These are all uprights, by the way. I do see cocktails occasionally but people don't seem to be interested in them.
