the thing about the price is that right when ryback got his main event push, demand increased for the skip figure since there was no ryback yet. that thing was selling for $60-$80 on ebay EASY.
its just now we have a basic ryback and a few more on the way.

The Sheffield figure was under $50 on Amazon before his push... I really should've picked him up

i think that might be a case of Ringside bumping the price before the Ryback figure was announced, and forgetting to drop it down. Before there was an actual Ryback that Sheffield was going for $80-$100 loose on ebay.
this will probably just open RSC eyes to the mistake. there is no way anyone is paying $140 for a skip sheffield ever again in this lifetime. $20/$25 maybe....and only because its his only figure as Skip.

Reason for the high price is simple, Skip was the only Ryback figure for so long and he is the only Nexus figure other than Wade to get a singles release. But no one thought much of his "corn fed meathead" persona, Ryback on the other hand is a beast with a catchphrase.
So because of the rarity of the figure cause scalpers (like the one you pointed out with the link) are willing to capitalize on people who don't care about the price simply cause they want to complete their set.

If anyone is goofy enough to pay that price it's not ring sides fault.

Considering how many became fodder for customs, he legitimately has become rare. Not $140 rare, mind you, but there are fewer in existence. On a side note, is the price of the Jakks Gymini figures and Jesse going to go up, lol? Can't tell you how many $#!tty Ryback 'customs' I've seen that are the Jesse body fixed up with a Gymini head.

I didn't even know that, but I still thought he looked like a meathead, plus the poor guy doesn't have a forehead. It looks like they smashed the top of his head with a frying pan. Lol

Technically you are incorrect sir. He was only in the Nexus for a couple of days & his figure did not have an armband, but Daniel Bryan got a single figure released in the same series as Skip Sheffield.

I think I bought him online to complete my nexus, think he was 19.99. Figure wasn't really even that good. $140? No way.

Skip was in the Nexus for 2 months before tearing up his ankle, DB was only in it for 4 days before getting canned and was never released with the N band. But the one and only Skip figure does have the band, you can't see it in package becauce it looks like a simple black band considering how he was packaged. I included a RSC pic of Skip out of package showing his N armband.
