The Great "Archon is Having a Baby" Sale!

[Archon_Turtle]

As you may or may not know, Heather is expecting in early may, and we are planning on buying a house in March. So I've come to the decision of liquidating the entire collection for a significant down on a home. In the coming weeks I will be throwing just about everything up either here or on ebay, but if there is a piece of mine in particular you've been eyeing for years, please feel free to inquire!

If my inbox gets flooded (as I suspect it might) feel free to drop me a line here and I will get back to you.

If you are inquiring about an item, I expect you to bring an offer with you. and we will go from there. Know that i am not out to screw anyone, but this is for the future of my family so don't expect friend pricing either.

This sale does not lift bans on my collection If I have previously told you I will no longer deal with you (you know who you are) that status is still in effect. Thank you.

Figures that come in sets: I probably wont be interested in splitting those sets. So like, sets of four (undercover, mutaforce etc) are going to be sold to someone who wants all four, or at least those people will always take priority.

The reasoning behind this is because I dont want to get left with a bunch of common or less wanted stuff I can't sell or end up having to practically give away.

[Donatellodude]

Mib/moc-Farmer don, sewer squirter, giant mutation don, mutant force donatello

Not sure of a price for the lot, if you want to give me individual prices and a group price that's fine. More interested in moc/mib.

But a couple loose caught my attention, giant basketball don and obviously the cloth undercover don.

[Redrumh2o]

Please let me know what sketch covers you still have and what you have...graded and not graded

Sketch Covers added to post 2. Some of them have minimum $ on them, some don't.

[Casey]

I'm looking for Mirage Vol. 4 Issue 27. I'm willing to pay around $10 for it and will accept it being shipped media mail for like a dollar. I don't need it to be in great condition. I just want to read it.

Since I have a complete run of Volume 4, I will probably sell that as a complete run.

Photobucket works for me but each time I click one of your links it says an error occurred.

Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah please let me know if its not an isolated issue. I will try to fix it on my end.

Just added an Art folder. Anything not priced Im accepting offers on.

I can't be certain. When I clicked a link in your collection thread, it went to a folder and I was able to navigate around however when using the links in this thread I got the error every time. Hopefully it's just me.

People are already sending me offers for stuff in those folders, so I am guessing its isolated.

Added an IDW Limited folder. I think that's about it for the evening. More to come over the weekend!

[grizzlyaddams]

You happen to have a MOC Gatekeeper Rocksteady or loose Pterano Don with wings?

[jd04988]

Price on Splinter Jim Henson puppet, and Turtle puppet? From your collection video.

[Coro]

Yeah please let me know if its not an isolated issue. I will try to fix it on my end.

Just added an Art folder. Anything not priced Im accepting offers on.

Yeah I consistently can't load your photobucket images due to "too many redirects occurred" and sometimes I get "Sorry, the requested page does not exist.
Please check the URL for correct spelling and capitalization."

The images inline on the threads work fine and the links in your post#2 work fine as well. It seems to be the photobucket links in the old thread.

I was specifically trying to load your CGC books 1-4 from this link in your collection thread:

http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JNCOPosterboy/library/The%20Collection/CGC%20Comics/

[Coro]

Sent you a PM

Also I am curious on the asking price of Turtlemania and the Gobbledygook books

[Sofistocat]

PM sent

Photobucket runs different scripts that other web-hosting platforms. I get errors alot, but manage to see the pics. Can't run it on my work laptop at all due to internal network barring certain scripts associated with web advertising pop-ups. Android OS generally won't support it either, sometimes it works though.

[Archon_Turtle]

Sent you a PM

Also I am curious on the asking price of Turtlemania and the Gobbledygook books

The GG's and the gold have been sold

[oldmanwinters]

Haha, Archon's Turtles collection is so epic that it has apparently brought Photobucket to its figurative knees:

Splinter has sold. You can make an offer on the baby

[Archon_Turtle]

OOH well if it's the comic album that's the problem, that's been intentionally locked. That's why I'd posting specific links.

I have thousands of comics. I need to control offers on those a little tighter than everything else.

[drewizzle88]

Congrats on the baby and house, I just got a house last month and my wife is expecting in March so I feel you man. Best of luck with your sales as well.

[TheCanadiandrome]

what's the ebay page?

[Archon_Turtle]

There isnt one. all the links are in post 2

[TheCanadiandrome]

ah ok, thanks

[Mayhem]

Must admit I didn't realise the Goobledygooks and gold Turtlemania were gonna be on the block, OR that they'd go so quick... still, that's the kid's college fund sorted :P

[Archon_Turtle]

Must admit I didn't realise the Goobledygooks and gold Turtlemania were gonna be on the block, OR that they'd go so quick... still, that's the kid's college fund sorted :P

There's only one or two things not on the block, and those are basically for sentimental reasons.

[Archon_Turtle]

Added the archie collection to post #2
Added Tales volume 2 collection to post #2
Added Volume 4 collection to post #2

[Archon_Turtle]

Working on an alternative photo hosting service for those of you having issues with photobucket.

Thanks

[The Gunslinger]

Bump. I definitely understand why you may have to thin out your collection. As a father of a one year old and also looking to move soon, my wife has been trying to get me to let go of some of my things. Congrats on your new family. Pm has been sent regarding a certain item.

[Archon_Turtle]

Thanks for the support, though it's important for me to note that my wife has nothing to do with this decision. In fact she's not happy to see my selling things.

[The Gunslinger]

Yeah sorry. I didn't mean it was your wife making you thin out your collection. I was just trying to relate in someway to your decision to sell. My wife, in contrast to yours, would be happy to see my collection go lol. Good luck on the sale!

[Archon_Turtle]

oK. Everyone who has paid up until the time of this post has had their items shipped and has a tracking number in their inbox (except the one person who is waiting for their eCheck to clear).

A few people who just wanted prints are still waiting on your quote. I will get to those within the next couple days.

PEOPLE WHO INQUIRED ABOUT THE BABY TURTLE: I cannot currently locate it, so I can't sell it to you. If, during the course of this sale, I come across it, I will let everyone know.

The sale is going great so far! Thanks to everyone who is participating. My unborn child thanks you :)

[Jester]

Yikes...you keeping anything to pass on to the little 'un?

[Archon_Turtle]

Yikes...you keeping anything to pass on to the little 'un?

Yes. A house.

[Archon_Turtle]

Pulled a few items from the photobucket links on to post #2. Have a look! Cool stuff now bleeding into post #3!

[tfranzone]

PM SENT about Vol. 4 and Sakai sketch cover

[Archon_Turtle]

can the person waiting on the quote for the shoate print please msg me? I have your quote but your msg got lost in the ocean of PMs

[Memphis]

Are the pictures in Toys the only ones you've got? Looking for the Dino figures, if you've got them.

[Archon_Turtle]

I have all of them, but loose. Also have the wax sculpt for Tyranoshredder

[Archon_Turtle]

Packages that were supposed to go out today did not due to a combination of Halloween and rain.

Packages that were supposed to go out today did not due to a combination of Halloween and rain.

Slacker...

[So-CoAddict]

Damn. I'm totally late to this party. Lots of great stuff here, especially the original drawings from the adult book. Someone had better scoop those up before I go and spend my next paycheck. :P

Spend your next paycheck :)

[Archon_Turtle]

If you're one of the three people waiting on your package to be shipped. It's shipping today.

[Archon_Turtle]

I believe everything that has been paid for up till today has been shipped.

If you have sent payment and not received shipping info in your PMs, please let me know. (Not including the buyer of the TMNT #1 2nd printing. That's going out tonight or tomorrow)

[Metalhead 2.0]

Some of this stuff is insane, but what really blows my mind is that Sewer Sports Leo Soccer Ball.
I can't believe you're selling it.
Every baby needs a ball! Especially one that's worth as much as a car.

[Powder]

All the more reason to sell it! He can make sure that kid's got a car when he's 16. :trazz:

[KingGrimlock]

Very good reason to be selling! Did the same with the majority of my Transformers collection and it made a massive difference to what we could afford.
Any chance you've got a carded Movie Star Leo going?

[Master Splinter]

It would be awesome to pick up some of this stuff. Too bad I have two kids of my own. I am actually curious as to what you are keeping.

[Archon_Turtle]

Practically nothing. The piece of the dover house, a set of the carded 88 figs signed by the voice actors... that's about it.

[Master Splinter]

Practically nothing. The piece of the dover house, a set of the carded 88 figs signed by the voice actors... that's about it.

What about the board games and stuff you've been picking up lately? Is that stuff going to be up for sale as well?

-ms

[CyberCubed]

I'm surprised you're not at least keeping the comics. I understanding selling off the toys and kid products, but you have no desire to read Turtle stories and have a huge part of where the franchise started?

Without the comics or cartoons, its like you're abandoning the franchise completely.

[Master Splinter]

Without the comics or cartoons, its like you're abandoning the franchise completely.

I don't see it like this at all. You do not have to have tangible products to be a fan of something.

While I'm thinking about it... How much for your tattoos...? :P

-ms

[Archon_Turtle]

What about the board games and stuff you've been picking up lately? Is that stuff going to be up for sale as well?

-ms

Naw, that stuff I'm keeping. Besides, there is very little value (over retail) on most of those games.


Without the comics or cartoons, its like you're abandoning the franchise completely.

I'm not going to dignify that with a response, but if I were to respond, it would probably be something similar to "eat ****."

[plastroncafe]

I'm working on calculating a decent offer, but while I do that...have you considered either Karen or Bing as a possible name for your kidlet?

Just saying...

:D?

[So-CoAddict]

Spend your next paycheck :)

Ugh! Still torn on this. Would be so cool to own, especially if I had an actual copy of the book too. Had any bites on those drawings at all?

[Archon_Turtle]

Ugh! Still torn on this. Would be so cool to own, especially if I had an actual copy of the book too. Had any bites on those drawings at all?

A couple. Nobody has pulled the trigger yet.

I also have a city at war run signed by Craig farley.

[TMNTChris1980]

I didn't see it listed in your stuff for sale, but I'm looking for a specific Laird/Talbot print (link below). If you have it, PM me with price, thanks:), and congratulations to you and your lady on the baby.
