I totally agree, it seems now the price of $79 for the Blue Angel or $90 for the F-18s were a deal. I remember, as I'm sure many people do, when that Amazon.com/Toysrus.com goof had the F-18s at something like $40 with free shipping. It was an amazing deal and tooooons of people ordered F-18s at that price before they realized their mistake and fixed it. I myself bought two more F-18s during that glitch. Thinking about it now, it would have been quite the investment to get a ton more and resell them later!

Well my take on this is that I never was really into modern jets. The F-22, Harrier and A-10 are cool. but the others ehh..... So the large money that the Hornet is going for I just shrug my sholders and wait for the Tiger II. A Ruusian Hind would be cool as well. I forgot to mention that. But that is not a modern jet.

I was watching it, or the one previous to it.
Anyone see the guy who put his Jolley Roger F-18 on the same time as this auction was going on, and kept raising the "buy it now" price to match the auction one?
I didn't check to see if he sold it but he probably did.
What would you call that? A parasite auction? :lol:
