legendary but little-known Jedi MasterGeez, you could probably buy a pristine 70mm print of the movie for less than that.

I am ready for the trials!I saw an SW style "D" poster in a Hollywood memorabilia shop once that looked like it could cover the entire side of a two story house. Only the top half was even visible inside the store. No idea what the asking price was...

That's what she said...
There is no lingerie in space...
C3PX said: Gaffer is like that hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with even though she is way out of your league because she is sweet and not a stuck up bitch who pretends you don't exist... then one day you spot her making out with some skinny twerp, only on second glance you realize it is the goth girl who always sits in the back of class; at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks... and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all. Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming... Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Only two days left for the poster. You think Steve Sansweet has seen it?

Padawan LearnerLooking at the poster, I can see why it's soooo expensive. You have to be the biggest and richest Star Wars fan on Earth to own it.

Jedi KnightFucking ripoff I'd say.
If it was $420 I would say cool. $4200o?? Fuck off. Its folded to shit and can't even be practically displayed because of its size. No one stupid enough to buy this has that much disposable income.

Ah, but you must have overlooked this little nugget:
Buying this poster is ECONOMY PROOF! Why waste your money in the stock market? It can crash regardless of any decision you make and can even crash regardless of any decision made by the company related to the stock - Leaving you with a near worthless piece of paper that won't inspire anyone! With the purchase of an historic document such as this original Star Wars 8-sheet poster, it doesn't matter what happens to the economy, you will still have the inspirational document which can be displayed and enjoyed. The magnificence of art and historic documents have an inherent value that relates to civilization and society. Unless civilization itself crashes then this piece will hold its value and if civilization itself crashes - Who will care about money? This poster is definitely ECONOMY PROOF!

Jedi KnightHaha, well in his defense I am a terrible financial planner. Maybe I'm not investing enough in Star Wars posters that cost half the price of a small house.

See You, Space Cowboy...The only novelty item that would be worth that much (and more) would be the copy of Double Fantasy that John Lennon signed for his killer only that morning. This poster could just be re-made in Photoshop.

Token Linguistics NerdHey, a house can burn down or get drafty or be repossessed. But this poster is historic!

I am ready for the trials!Either they had it "appraised", looked it up in a movie poster price guide, (semi-useless where Ebay bidders are concerned) or somehow white mice are involved. ;)

Padawan MonkeyIt seems roosters are generally cheaper than 42000.

I would give several of my bodyparts for that.
...
On the other hand, buying something that belonged to Chapman.... which I despise... but John signed it...
I'll just cut my leg off, and then I'll think about whether buying it or not.
... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"
