I had a very similar experience. unfortunately the rares and very rares that I got doubles of are ones that I have found hard to shift. But it was still nice opening up a large package of minis.

I had a trade I thought was to good to be true. My Sandtrooper on Dewback and Rebel Commando on Speeder bike for his Cad Bane!

Sounds like you both won on that deal.

I traded Han GH and a bunch of Cs/UCs for Freedon Nadd. =)

I managed to get Mando the Indomnable for $18 at my LGS( I don't know his current price but at the time he was $35)

Yeah the Cad for 20 off Auggies has to be one of the best deals I ever managed! Funny thing is I pulled another in my case!!

I started into my plasticrack addiction right after RotS came out. By the time UH dropped, I had a a fairly good collection. RS was done, thanks to the first reprint of the set I was finally able to pull a Boba Fett. I was missing Tarful from RotS, and the only pieces from CS I was down were the 'money' pieces, all of which were going for around $30 or more at the time (Maul, Sidious, Mace, Yoda, Aurra, maybe one or two others).

Logged onto the trade forums one day on WotC, and someone was quitting. Selling his entire collection for $300. He had a complete RS, CS, and RotS(minus one piece that wasnt Tarful) sets, along with a few UH pieces, Clone Strike starter map laminated, and Clone Strike Ultimate Missions books.

When it came in. I had officially finished my CS and RotS sets, and traded to completion for UH. I made a huge sale thread on the boards, and sold most of the other R/VR and made my $300 back.

When CotF was getting ready to drop, I found www.coolstuffinc.com and sold them the remainder of the stuff I hadnt sold on the forums to them for their Buy list (that was a pain, let me tell you. They are kinda nitpicky about how the list is organized and how you mail it to them). Got about $150 for the credit, cause I was putting it towards the purchase of product (2 cases of CotF). So, I ended up paying about $50 for my two cases, and got different VR clusters, so all I was short from those was 4 VRs once I got them in.

So, after loaning the 'game' $300, I completed 3 sets, got my money back, and paid for a huge portion of the next set to come out.

Not too bad, I think. :P

Just got two Mouse Droids for a total of £5.49 (≈$8.30) from a UK-based online store. I've been hunting for a store with Mouse Droids that didn't realize how valuable they were, and I finally got one! Only wish they had more, lol.

Which online store is this? I thought I had looked through all of the Uk based stores, but never noticed this!

I was literally on their website yesterday! I wish I had noticed. When looking at online minis stores I find it funny when they have Cad Bane and Darth Revan priced at £15.You can blatantly tell they had some at the beginning and have never restocked.
