Is this a rip off?

Postby popy633 » Fri Jan 07, 2011 9:12 pm

I saw the end of time sonic screwdriver in the stamp centre (scificollector), the strand, london. it was in the big glass cabinet and was £39.95 :o (or £35. i can't quite remember). It can't honestly be worth that much, can it? is it a special collectors item, or are they just ripping us off because there are tourists on the strand?

I know over here anything like that (ie the Master's ring with the journal of impossible things) which is packaged in The End of Time packaging is rare and fecthes quite a sum over here.

really? are you from the states? i saw the journal in there for £15.
i had a look online and i couldn't find the EOT sonic anywhere - so it may well be rare

Yes I'm from the states, you are correct. I seriously think that's some collector price as we call it here in the States, "Secondary Market"
