How much is a licensed premium worth? It depends on demand. Some are worth 32 cents when they’re made, and 32 cents when they’re thrown out 10 years later. Others are eventually valued at hundreds of dollars. Die-hard kitsch collectors are willing to pay big bucks for the right item, and high-tech trading hub eBay is their hunting ground. Here’s a look at some high-priced premium lots that recently sold on eBay.com, complete with the item’s description in the seller’s own words.
