I'm curious as to what happend to all the extra Reunion 2005 Waugoshance HL's. More often then not, after a HL Reunion, some of the extra pieces purchased by the attendees go up for sale and anxious collectors, who were unable to attend the reunion, buy them up. This doesn't seem to be happening this time.
I thought I had a deal on one but the person who was kind enough to offer to sell me one must have changed his mind because I haven't heard from him since. I don't see any at the New Marketplace. I don't see any, right now, on eBay. Where have all these extra pieces gone?
Could it be the owners are holding on to them in hopes of getting a better price some time at a later date? Could it be they are so nice that the owner can't bring themselves to part with any of their duplicates?
Recent history (eBay again) has shown us that Reunion pieces of the past are selling for much less than they did in the time immediately following the Reunion. The collectors that really made out were those who sold these treasures before the prices fell. Why isn't that happening now?
Well I guess I'm back in the market for a Waugoshance again. I do have a brand new Reunion 2001 piece for trade that I kept MIB for this purpose, or I would be willing to buy the Reunion 2005 piece if the price was right.
