I would back in the day, but stopped long ago. The example of this minifig's
value (especially as new) brings home the countless potential payoffs. By necessity,
we vendors budget what little time left to us beyond that of running the store.
Nonetheless, it was always deemed as time very well spent for me, staying appraised
of market values trends - Can be enjoyable too.

Back in the day, when you would take the time, besides just perusing the catalog
and price guides, how did you go about keeping up some of the market value trends
(I would be interested in knowing)?

What is his value though? The price guide for this one indicates what price buyers
are NOT willing to pay, but doesn't indicate what price even one buyer is
willing to pay.

It is a figure with low supply, but (at the current listed prices) even lower
demand.

There is one sales to be found at the torso level:

It seems that the other parts of the minifigure are low/normally priced only.
