Look what I found on eBay...

All 4 sidekicks for only $100!!!
It seems kinda like a waste of money for 4 pieces of plastic that do almost nothing...

Just a bit back I saw a set of them sell for $160.

I hate these Sidekicks because their rarity=their pointlessness. It's a real shame because they're so adorable. smilie

I agree it is. Especially since they only cost 8 dollars in total to get in the first place. I send off for mine hopefully I'll get them soon.
But sadly 100 is nothing compared to what I've seen them go for. A full set went for over 400 a few weeks ago...

400? Where do people get that sort of money just to throw away like that on a whim?

It's good to know that the starting price was $100 rather than people actually being foolish enough to bid over $100.

What I want to know is when the ridiculousness of all these sidekick topics will end. Seriously, we've already got like five or more of them, do we really need another?!

True, but most of them are people asking when they're getting the Sidekicks - not about the prices they go for on eBay.

Agreed. I know theres an incredible amount of topics on these guys, but..they are the big thing right now. Its a shame too cus they don't (from what I know) do much of anything in the game :/

I sent off for mine, so I won't know the full extent of what they do and how worth it they are to me, till I get them.

Being a wealthy collector with no other way of getting them (because I don't live in the US), I can't say $100 or even $160 sounds too ridiculous - though the ones I bought were luckily not as expensive.

$400 sounds like waaay too much, though, but that's mostly just because you can get them so much cheaper.

Well if Anybody wants one just send me the cost of the Chips and the 2dollars I'll send one too you, our stores got hundreds of those chips bags, don't spend that much ever, its just plain greed.

I don't think you're allowed to sell Sidekicks on here? Just trade.

For what the Sidekicks do, it is quite ridiculous. It's not surprising, though...
