Let me put it this way, it's so rare that people only stumbles across one such as this Baloo figure once per year, give or take a few months. This is not something you can find in your local Wal-Mart store. You'd even be hard put to find one of these in a Collectible store or a Flea Market

Recently we're losing our flea markets as most people are contented with selling their stuff on eBay, while I like eBay, I feel it is killing the business for flea markets, bargain malls and collectible stores

As for old it is and how much it is worth, it is 20 years old and the last one I saw on eBay started the bid at $9.99 and ended at $61.00 plus a 17-dollar shipping. So you can tell it is worth a lot, even if it had been opened

Hope this helps

Well, we talked about one recently :

Does that answer your question?
