I really wonder why nobody else placed a higher bid.

Even though "it's only Spike'n'Volley Leo" I do not understand why people did not show interest in a KE private collection+signed figure.... Anyone able to shed some light?

A lot of people are not into them and think they are a cash grab.....even though it seems people are willing to pay $60-$100+ on these from his website

Oh well....I am glad you will enjoy it!

Yes, I do enjoy it, thank you a lot Also left positive feedback for you here.

Yeah around 60-100+ I presumed would be normal/ok for one of those figures. That's for the buying price but ... I have to admit this is my first signed figure so I have no idea what the real value actually is.

I had a signed unopened Breakin' Loose Leonardo signed by Eastman up on eBay for months. I think I wound up losing money on it when I sold it. I kinda feel Eastman has devalued his own signature by signing every piece of TMNT merchandise he touches.

He has....and does he still charge $25 per sig after the first one at cons? That's way too much if so

Anyone with a hint what real value this Spike and Volley Don is in case my previous question was too far in between the lines?

It's a $10 figure. When you sign everything you touch your signature stops meaning as much.

Ok, let me put it like this:
It's a simple, single, short and appropriate answer to have me say thanks and stop posting in this thread. Not looking for posts like these and we don't need to talk down the figure or its value like you could get it on every corner down the street.

The reason why I'm asking is also simple: I like to know what value this adds up to to my existing collection. It's not going to be sold lol

He does, although I'm not sure if it's actually $25 per sig. Unfortunately, charging for sigs has become a necessity in the world of eBay and the secondary market. While Kevin's signature is very easy to get on anything in general, there is still a huge market for some specific items that are signed, especially in the world of signature-verified comics. When Kevin did charge and gave unlimited signatures, you'd be waiting in line 3+ hours while he took care of everyone. It just wasn't a good experience.

The real value of anything is what someone is willing to pay for something. This is the case for everything that someone is asking the value of. Not just this toy. Yet, people keep asking the question and get mad at this answer.

I see what you're saying but here I do not even have the slightest clue. I'm not talking about exact figures but a rough estimate.

The question put into other words: What does a figure from this series and KE's private collection pass the counter for "usually"?

I wouldn't ask at all if I only had the slightest clue, not kidding, first time owning a figure like this with a signature.

Going by recent ebay sales, the figure, loose, goes between $2 & $10, with MOC versions selling for under $20.

Really? It's quite difficult for me to believe this figure is worth 20 bucks in KE personal collection MOC condition. Well, then silly me to believe I have a precious item for a european collector

I don't know why you would get upset with me for telling the truth. It has also been stated here that someone at KE Studios is just buying lots of loose figures on eBay for him to package and sign at a mark up.

If it's precious to you, that's all that matters.

The more I thought about Powder's comment throughout the past days I have to say thank you along with I'm happy about the signed figure but real mega happy about the signed head (if it was only a raph head )
