    There is a yellow balloon Buster Set in ebay UK:

    Yes, start price £100...…………

    Don't think he'll get any buyers, especially now there's a second Yellow balloon, currently @ £72!

    There is also a Brown balloon, start price £140 () which is now on its NINTH time around, with not a single bidder!

    If the seller doesn't reduce his start price, he will never get a nibble.

    EEk! Would love to get a ballon, but that is a bit much for me.

    Hmmm... I don't know what balloons went for when originally released in Britain, but the starting bid is more than double what I paid to get a balloon back in 2012 in Canada.

    Someone is profiteering.

    Or Not! - if they don't sell!

    I think someone said they were about £30-ish on release.

    I was too late for that, but I got mine in job lots on ebay, and from "Ludibay" in France for EUR 20 each.

    I guess in germany the release-price was about 30,00-40,00 Euro.

    When some small planes hit the 100,00 and above...75,00 doesnt sound sooo bad....otherwise the playability/playworth of the balloons are what? Just targets?

    I asked it sometimes: What about the announced or rumored re-releases....last time it was said that just the painting have to get a "do over"....that was when ? One year ago?

    Any ballon on the table is an eye catcher an prestige objcet.

    I've got 3 of them.

    So 100 GBP or 72 GBP is not that bad for someone who hasn't any...

    I just took a peek. Two bids. Some people indeed, have more money than sense.

    The only real question is, how do *I* take advantage of this?

    £72-er finally sold for £105

    Start-bid £100 still has no bidders

    Start-bid £140 ended without bidders (and always will! - greedy!)

    A brown balloon appeared, Start-bid £80 or best offer, and sold for that £80.
