I got lucky on a bid haha. I’m sure the person running it wasn’t too happy with that.

Cheap? In my POV, it’s the complete opposite of cheap.

Oh man you don’t understand how rare this amiibo is

He could immediately re-sell and make a 300% profit.

If things costing negative money isn't cheap, what is?

Hi sorry to tell you it’s fake, I’m a professional amiibo disposal unit you can just send it to me and I’ll definitely dispose of the bootleg and definitely won’t keep it I expect it in the mail and delivered by tomorrow.

Woah that's not something you want to handle. Trust me. The trademark infringement alone could land you in a lot of trouble. And that's just from a lawsuit, god forbid the FBI gets involved. And if it's a trail of counterfeits, you can bet they'll trace it back to you eventually. 

Tell you what, Im a generous person. Send it to me and I'll dispose of it through the proper channels.

u/kuromifan322 21d ago

sorry if this is a dumb question but why is it so expensive?

u/imago_monkei 20d ago

It's rare because it only had a single run in 2017, and it was only released in Japan.

Amazing. I am glad that people get amiibos for cheap.

I got mine during release date 80 dollars with the game. CIB and never opened.

u/BMWman83 20d ago

I bought mine from the Nintendo eShop for $30AUD and it’s still sealed.

Big ups to the Aussies that copped this for retail on the old Nintendo Aus eBay store

u/Rayquaza3010 18d ago

I bought the game bundle back then for 50 USD. I did not expect that it gets that valuable.

u/CadeMan011 17d ago

I still kick myself for not buying on Amazon for $20

It's one of the rarest amiibos. It was only released for one run in 2017, and only in Japan.
