I bought Pleasureflush....I couple of thoughts

The way I see it, if there is demand, the prices will go as high as people are prepared to pay. I saw on another thread people slagging eBay off for all the high prices, but if a seller lists something for 99p and it ends up selling for £71 then it surely isn't the seller's fault, right? It's different when people buy up 20 Stereo Roses and sell them for £40 each Buy It Now price, when half of Specktra never got to pick even one up at the counters.

yeah i think i made a comment about ebay being slightly different. the price only goes up to what people are willing to pay. and as long as there wasn't a crazy starting price or buy it now then it's all good. but yeah the tonnes of stereo roses at £40 a pop are not cool at all!

That is crazy.. I wonder if the seller knew she would get such a high price for it. I also witnessed someone pay $174 for a Metal Rock MSF on Ebay.

Probably not, they used to go for around £50-55 new. There's a new Lightscapade for sale on eBay, currently at £26, wonder how much that will sell for.

sweet jesus!!! you could buy so much with that $174! however i guess if you collect these things then perhaps it is worth it. i like to collect msf's and pigments and perhaps if i was rich i would pay such a price. but sadly i am not!

Hahaha, I think we are all a bit crazy (for make up anyway) around here. If I told anyone I know in real life (like my husband) that I spent £60 on one piece of make up, he'd have me locked up in the loonie bin.

I do love it though it's very dark for me, I've only tried it a couple of times and gave up on it, but maybe in the summer it'll be more suitable (not that I'm ever that tanned).

Count me as crazy too, because I don't think that's crazy. Bottom line is we love makeup. Enjoy

Don't get me wrong. I would also pay around $100 for a MSF (if it is rare and brand new) but definitely would not pay $174. That is way too high to me. I do collect MSF too. Only ones i still don't have are Global Glow, Lightscapade, Pleasureflush and Metal Rock. I hope MAC will repromote them so i won't have to pay crazy money on them.

The craziest money that I spent was Metal Rock - but that was still only £40 - I don't think I'd pay much more than that for any of them (unless I was absolutely desperately in need of one I was running out of). Personally for me, when it gets to a certain price I start thinking about everything else I could buy with the money, or what I could dupe that item with, and I usually persuade myself out of it.

£40 is VERY good! When was that? I guess they get more and more expensive as time goes on and there's less and less available. Pleasureflush came out 7 (!) years ago now!

The Lightscapade sold for £32 + shipping on eBay. Not too bad I guess, especially as it was a new one.

Lol, it is sad, but do you know what, I'm even more sad because I do as well and I actually have pretty much every MSF plus some back ups.

Oh wow, that's really good! I never saw that Metal Rock on eBay. Have you managed to use it yet? I find it's very dark for me, although it was okay with a pink blush over it. You seem quite fair like me, so I'm interested to hear how you use it.

I thought I might bid too, but I really don't need another Lightscapade either. I'm crazy for pretty things as well!
