Complete re pricing of ALL my current ebay listings

[Triglyph]

I know I had some interest since people were watching, but no one was making offers on the listings. I decided to get rid of the "make an offer" button and just reduce all of the listings pricing SIGNIFICANTLY. Some things were reduced by MORE than 2/3 of the original price...

This is my last ditch effort to drum up some sales before these fixed price turtles listings end. I am trying to avoid more listing fees and just clear through stuff asap. I am letting some of it go for less than I paid for them at this point...definitely take a look. I want to sell all of this stuff:

update to avoid double post

OK NOW we're talking! Someone just bought some comics for themselves. If anyone else wants stuff, lets make something happen. I want to sell some toys.

Wow...that is a nice buy for the Triceraton.

[Triglyph]

I am hoping someone will snatch it...at the moment, the $200 would do alot more for me than the figure. I have recording sessions to do and I am guessing I will be charged $50 an hour or something to that effect for renting a studio to record in :-(

Last time I did high fixed prices with a "submit an offer", I had alot of feedback. I am not sure what happened this time around...:ohwell:

Hopefully we'll see some sales between now and tomorrow night :D

Alright guys...Shogun triceraton is back up...auction format...starting at a penny...

also check my auctions that have ended. for the most part, if they didn't have a winner, I still have them availible...again, for the most part.

Still trying to sell through as much as possible.

Isn't it great how you had it for a cheaper buy it now price for the Triceraton originally and no one bought it. Congrats on the sell.

Sadly, Mumm-ra sold for WAAAAYYYY below what I expected, so overall it was a disapointment, as great as the triceraton auction went. Funny how that worked out. After the fact, the other toysandtoons guy, Pete, was like "you should have just taken it out of the case"...People are weird when they see a low afa number even though its still a top level piece with a minor bubble crack. For anyone that doesn't know, if something has a bubble crack, the highest grade the bubble gets is a 60. Even though its a crazy rare item, people see AFA 60 and get scared off :(

I truely expected to see that go for at least $500.

Someone emailed me today too and did that "if the high bidder doesn't end up getting the mumm-ra, let me know" thing. Its like DUDE...YOU SHOULD HAVE BID ON THE AUCTION!!!!! :x

The simpsons figures I had also sold for $13. $13 for two toyfare exclusives not to mention the playset and two regular figures. Time will do that, and I know its not 2002 any more so simpsons "values" are way down from that period while they were the "hot" line of the retail market, but its like DAMN...for $13, I would have given them to my animation partner's kids or given them to my girlfriend to take to work (by the way-simpsons ride opens at universal orlando in the spring!!!). I mean every buck I get is a buck I didn't have before, but DAMN, $13!?

I am still at EASILY $2000 below where I need to be by the end of march. I have to buy a plane ticket for one of my voice actors and put him up in a hotel, and pay for a weekend's worth of studio recording...Its going to be one big payment thats going to hit me all at once. I am thinking about just selling out all of my remaining vintage items to Pete and being done with all sales "vintage" anything. I don't have time to keep up with this and I have hundreds of $10-$20-$30 items. I'd rather get the money out of them and put it towards production costs than sit on the items. Ebay is just too time consuming for me. Every hour I am selling on ebay is an hour I am not editing scripts, storyboarding, etc.

Depending on how my comic lot does tonight, I may start my volume 1 set at a penny and see what that does for me. I wish I was doing all of this at christmas, but I am where I am at this point in time, not seven-eight months into the future. I have a project in production and I need to get a voice actor in a studio when we need him. No voice means you can't move forward with animation.

I've got some other stuff down here in FL-some power rangers, a few more contemporary turtles...I've got a loose quarry I may part with...I have some vintage turtles line test shots...I dunno...I am just hitting a tough period on ebay for some reason. Selling out to pete may be the best option. Again, triceraton was awsome, but mumm ra was less than half of the minimum I expected to see it sell for. Kind of evened out to still be a letdown. People will say "how could it be a let down"...All I can say is I sure as hell didn't pay $5 for these figures at retail.

Oh well...buy more of my stuff tonight. :D

Dude..I've also sold things on ebay for way below what I wanted to get. It seems to be a thing with ebay, unfortunately. I think ebay's existence alone lowers the values of certain collectibles. Good luck with your sales.

Well I'd consider bidding on some of your stuff only I'm not in the USA.... Might explain the lack of bids?
