Actually, JM flipping used to be pretty common years back. I do think it's less prevalent now though since more people know to look to Yahoo!Japan than before. Also, the rising price of JMs makes it harder and harder to turn a profit.

There's one on Ebay now for

There's one on Ebay now for $188 (+$60 shipping to the US) shipped to the US which isn't too bad, I guess, but I know the seller just got it on Yahoo a few weeks back for about $75. He's been doing a lot of flipping of JMs. It's the second Five Robo he's flipped recently. There aren't any on Yahoo at this moment but I'm sure more will turn up soon.

I'm thinking I may pick this

I'm thinking I may pick this guy up, given he won't require a second mortgage. But he is high on E-bay (sometimes $500), so I guess patience is the key.

Yup. Now that you mention

Yup. Now that you mention it, I do remember when we first saw that original Yahoo auction and discussed it on the old CJT BBS that someone else pointed that out as well. Good eye.

I still want a DX

I still want a DX FiveRobo.

Funny thing I just noticed- on that Korean bootleg's box, they use the helmets of the rangers from the later "Changeman" (1986), not the proper "Fiveman" (1985).
