Vintage Halloween Plastic Blow Mold Lighted Pumpkin Jack O Lantern Witch Hat

Unfortunately, the site that will typically reveal what the Best Offer selling price was for an item just shows that this sold for $65, although the price was lower than that. Let’s assume that it was $50, a much higher price than I would have expected. Virtually all blow molds are super common and seldom bring meaningful dollars. (There are exceptions, of course. The tall orange or green haunted houses, the slanted orange haunted house and the standing witches with arms outstretched holding some object are some examples.) This design is common, so even $50 would have been a surprise, especially given that it has significant fading and has scuffing and no light. Is this result an outlier or an indication that there has been strengthening in this market segment?
