Nevermind I'll wait to get them at retail
 

Decided that this forum might not be the best place to try and
get current gen figures due to only attracting scalpers like
that totally fake McShredder guy. I'll just wait and try to
find them locally at Wal-Mart when they restock.

This is a great forum for vintage and I believe I'll stick to
asking for my vintage wants if and when I need them on
this forum.

I have Baxter on eBay-- but if you PM me we can work out a better price if I sell him to you via PM. Personal payment through PayPal only, my reputation as a seller on here is stellar and I have several regular buyers who will vouch for me if you'd like a reference. All orders of $20 or more come gift-wrapped in Nick TMNT wrapping paper.

Thanks for the offer but I'm not into paying triple retail for this figure. And your reputation of buying up stuff from the forum and selling it back to the forum and\or on ebay for a vicious mark-up is very well known you are correct. I will not support that kinda of behaviour or business practice. Your welcome to make money any way you see fit it just won't be any money from my pocket I'll tell you that much.

Well, forget you.

Bump to the top. Still looking.

Another member who is local/not far from me almost jumped in to this thread to defend me against your rude, slanderous comments. Thanks to you, we are working out a trade today in which he will get the Baxter, and I will get the much more sought after Kraang to re-sell. So your comments have done nothing but hinder you; I was going to go out of my way to try to find you everything for you that you were looking for at fair prices until you assumed I was an ogre and jumped all over me when I replied.

If I find any of those figures would you pay me triple the retail to spite tots?

While I appricate your intent, I would like to try and stay out of the ebay rapist price range. ;)

That certainly is the pot calling the kettle black if you're trying to be snide, you saw where I was trying to work out a deal with DonatelloFan for two Mutagen Ooze canisters, and PMed me to try to get me to buy yours, telling me that you doubted he was still offering them for half price + shipping and fed me a bullsh!t line about how $25 shipped was the cheapest you could sell them to me without taking a loss. I'm ALWAYS more fair when I sell to other members here because a) there are no fees, and b) most members trust me enough to send their payment as a personal payment/payment owed so that PayPal doesn't get a chunk to protect them from me, because I've never screwed over ANYONE here. RaphFan84 was the one who wanted to jump into this thread because he buys from me locally from time to time and we have ALWAYS been fair with one another... but I love how some of you have the mentality here that because we're "fellow fans," we should just GIVE you our TMNT stuff and then when we won't, you're mad. How is that in the least bit logical?

Well hell, I have Kraang, and could have gotten Baxter the other day. Good luck on finding what you're looking for, though.

Today was the wrong day "tots"
#1 stop being a little btch. #2 it was a joke. #3 your attitude sucks, see above where the guy said no and explained why and you said "forget you" and this thing you're doing now; so whatever. There is no four. #5 You put it out in public that's what you were looking for so yeah I made a very fair offer( we'll get back to that). [quote:powder: GO TO PM'S /quote] learn your lesson I suppose #6 yeah I didn't think he would because I (unlike you) made an offer on the day of his half off one day only sale, not many many hours later maybe even a couple of days like you, not looking because really I don't give a ff. I didn't think he'd go for it because I offered 2$ per loose turtle and a buck fifty for s&h during the "one day only half off sale." ( which the price per part if broken into thirds from the canister and ooze is percentage wise significantly less than half off.) tangent to #13(sorry DF) he countered with 4$ per turtle plus 1.5$ snh to which I held firm to 2 and 1.5 snh he declined and we parted amicably #7 that leads us into #8 you wanted the two canisters and the display base; I can walk around the corner and buy canisters at 7.99$ each, there are a total of six stacked displays full. The awkward size and weight would be close to 8$ to ship with tracking and insurance that's still not including tax, supplies, time and effort. #9 math btch, also (7.99x2)3timesretailprice=\=25. #10 imma put this out there, you offered me 19$ shipped (which is a lowball offer) but after I declined, you offered DF 17$ which was an even scummier offer (#11 hey DF there have been a few of those one things I said) #12im beginning to think you're so defensive about being fair, because you're probably not, it's really showing. #12.5 you seem pretty petty #13 I reallly hope those last few sentences were not directed at me; because never happened and provide proof (since you think you know what libel is wait no you don't because you called it slander) (see the end of hashtag six), but more importantly I will choke you with your own hypocrisy, in this very thread. You have your own entitlement issues there bub. Remember when you came back in this thread to "give it" to the op and rub his nose in that "trade" you made with a local guy...

Are you offering to sell me a Kraang and maybe a Baxter here or just saying you have it and can get the other but are not selling them to me? Please explain as I am still looking for these I'm just not gonna pay "$29.99" each like that Shredder toolbox wants for them.

I thought we had a deal going before but I stopped getting replies from you.

I would sell my Kraang, but not at the price you wanted to pay. But also not at $30. And yeah, if you wanted the Baxter, and if it was still available at the store, I would get it for you at the right price. Again, not looking to make a lot, but I will help you if we can come to an agreement.

You told me $10 for the Kraang before plus the $5 tops it would cost to ship it is $15 which I offered you. I was going off your price plus shipping cost. I never sent you a price of my choosing, I only went off the price you offered to me. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

First off, with eBay and PayPal fees...I'm not going to make ANYTHING on the Kraang and April figures I have listed at $19 with free shipping.

Second... I didn't ask you for the Mutagen Ooze display box, I already have one, I wanted to make sure they were still in the little cardboard holders, which makes them "unopened..."

Wow, so McScalper goes all defence mode cause he dropped his price from $29.99 to $19.99 when the figures demand went down as they are more avalible again and he doesn't want to be stuck with them? Then claims no profit? What a joke. But I suppose it all makes sense when you look where it's coming from.

EDIT: Forget it all together, The scalper attraction is not worth the time to get a couple of new figs, I'll just roll the dice and wait for them to
show up at my local wal-mart.

First off, I didn't scalp them. I don't even have a car. Another member picked them up for me and sold one to me and traded me the other for some much needed gift wrap.

Just shut your oxygen waster and go away.

You ought to be banned, talking to a senior member and a longtime fan that way.

Senior member of what? The scalpers club? Get lost loser.

First off, I don't scalp-- I had a Baxter that I sold to another member here for WHAT I PAID FOR HIM-- no more, no less. You have a really bad entitlement attitude like several others here and several others on the Facebook groups, who want those of us who take the time to research what items are popular/hard to find, find those items, and then offer them to people who are having trouble finding what they want, to sell them to you for exactly what they cost us + exact shipping, not taking into consideration the PayPal fees, the cost of shipping materials, or the idea that our time is worth money. It's downright disrespectful. You don't have to like it, but disrespecting members such as myself who do this, in MY opinion, is no different from from being disrespectful of someone or slandering someone because of their race, sexual orientation, religion, etc, and THAT kind of behavior isn't tolerated on this forum, and while I can't speak for Krang or anyone else on the staff, I have faith that your behavior won't continue to be tolerated either. You are slandering me and making yourself look bad in front of those here who know how hard I work to find things for them at fair prices that they are having trouble finding themselves... I came into this thread with every intention of helping you, but you assumed to worst about me because of the BIN price I listed Baxter for while he was still rare, and didn't even care that I had given someone almost $20 in gas money the day I went out with the intention of hunting him and the other two figures down, I only found him that day, so without getting $30 I was taking a loss, I would have done that for another fan to be nice, but you simply took it upon yourself to be hurtful and disrespectful, I'm sure there are people here who would still try to help you just to spite me because they feel the way you do, that nobody should ever make a dime doing something they love, but there's not a lot I can do about that and quite frankly, I don't care anymore.

Wow. Amazing.

Dude has some serious mental issues.

Yeah I was kinda on your side until this

Hey guys, just strolled in. Is this the place to ask for the rarest of a toy line and get pissed off when fans and resellers don't give me their stock at walmart retail prices (including shipping?)

if so...I really want some leatherheads and krangs. Don't you dare ask more than 8.88 a piece for them. I also need them shipped to Australia with free shipping btw.

bro prices. gotta love 'em.

That's what I call them too.

$29.99 is a scalper price there is no question about it. Asking for $8.88 or whatever is also pretty weak. $10 - $15 a pop + shipping? Thats more than fair when a retail fig is harder to get.

Long and the short is that the nutcase dude with all the pent up sexual issues he takes out on action figures within online forums is a scalper and $29.99 is a retarded price for a toy worth less than $10 at the store seeing
as shelves restock all the time. Giving a guy room for profit is one thing, standing idle when he's trying to rip you a new asshole VIA your wallet is
another.

And you? You can just shut the **** up at this point.

If I were to sell you one, i'd expect to double my money for the time and effort in locating it. 8.88 x 2 = 18 + shipping (around 7-8 bucks)

that comes out to $26 on a high end, not counting costs like paypal fees, gas, or shipping materials. so 29 can be assumed it's just doubling the investment to get and ship the item. Keep in mind the total workload to get and ship that item will probably be about 3-4 hours. That's like 2 bucks an hour I'd be earning (this is why I don't like to resell new stuff honestly)

you're okay with 15 + shipping? shipping would be 7-8 bucks MOC (2-3 if you would take loose complete) that'd be 23.

now with that said, you had to blow up on the guy for wanting 29 when you've said yourself you'd be okay at 23? you two really couldn't come to an agreement in the middle of 6 dollars?

and regardless, I think you're attitude is a little ...much. I don't see people foaming at the mouth at apple for having the same hardware as a PC marked at 2-3x the price. If you don't like his price say no thanks and go elsewhere, why take it so personal?

Maybe I just see things from a different light since I'm a merchant but this just seems silly.

I honestly can't understand why this guy hasn't been banned after being so rude to a senior member.

Your not a senior member, your a jerk. Alot of folks like seeing you get the tar and feather treatment too which I assume has ALOT to do with it.

He wanted $29.99 PLUS shipping but thats just beating the horse dead at this point. They are all over ebay for $12.99 BIN and some with free shipping included in that price now too. My problem with the whole thing was the pure on scalping being done and that dude trying to say it wasn't scalping which it clearly is. Then he went on that whole mess about sexuality,ect. which shows he's clearly not right in the head so at this point I feel sorry for him more than anything else.

Well to get back on topic, i dont mind helping anyone out. I am always at TRU/Target/Walmart/KMart and i ALWAYS check the TMNT isle. I run into kraangs/baxters/aprils all the time. Wouldn't mind helping anyone out. I passed up a mint baxter a few days ago at Target. He is prolly still there.

However, shipping these days is indeed a RIP OFF. I don't see how anyone could ship something for less than $10 due to needing packing supplies and a box. Is there a trick or something im missing? After taxes and shipping, a TMNT figure is gonna run at least $20 shipped.

So you're saying you bought those figs for 14ish each? I don't believe you and this will help prove that you're sketchy and a liar.
Second you asked for the "cardboard display things", which I will admit I misread and thought you meant the cardboard store display, I didn't see the "s" on things, but still that's unopened in display and the price I quoted you is way more than reasonable and fair, to which you still lowballed me and lowballed DF even more, because you're so sketch.

Having a car has nothing to do with scalping... What's that got to do with the price of tea in china?
But really this proves you didn't pay 14ish each, espically since that gift wrap was less than 8...

Lol this is hilarious. If I thought for one second that you would go look for a legitimate job, I can see you putting that "I'm a senior member and long time [turtles] fan on the thechnodrome.com forums" on the application

Yes you do scalp. You're a scalper. You utilize market manipulation for profit. The definition of a scalper is a person who buys goods which are limited and resells them for a premium markup after only briefly holding the items. You even admitted to lowering the price after the marketplace was slightly more saturated. So how much did you pay for baxter? 29.99 or 19.99 or more likely 8.88... Either way I'm probably not going to believe you, because you are so sketch.

Your hypocrisy is hilarious, talking about entitlement issues and snh costs after trying to ride me and accusing me of an outrageous markup... You have no room!!! Lol and stop trying to pass off giving someone gas money as an expense towards the figure, which I'm sure you applied to every figure you tried selling him. That almost as funny as when you offered to buy that figure off ebay for raph and ship it to him (when he could just buy it off ebay himself) effectively charging him twice for shipping, plus whatever fee you were gonna charge him, for your time and effort...

You still don't freaking know the difference between slander and libel, even after its been explained to you

And this whole self entitled senior member nonsense, seriously, go seek professional help. And I'm not going to address the rest of this as its the ramblings of a lunatic.

No this is the thread you come in and try to overcharge people and then turn into a little bitch when they tell you to go pound sand. Wait no this is the thread where you ask for some help finding some figs for your kid and yourself and then get insulted with rape prices, and when you say no and explain why get berated by a maniac.

But I have some kraang I can sell you, I'll even go below cost, I got them at fao Schwartz for 29.98 each. So ill do 29.97 for you.

29.99 plus shipping is robbery. Shipping would only be 5.35 usps priority, with free boxes and supplies. Don't want to use the free stuff from usps, go to any store, ask for their boxes, they will give you every size and shape they have. Does no one get papers or plastic bags anymore? That's all shipping protection that's free, no cost. People are always trying to inflate snh expenses for profit.

But you also missed the part where the guy said no that bed rather not pay triple the retail price plus shipping, and then got the attitude from the shredder toolbag, that's when he went and gave it right back. And tots deserves every bit of it. Guy can't even let a joke slide (see the just to spite tots part)

Go seek professional help. Seriously.

Cheapy ziplocks, balloons, plastic bags, newspapers and junk mail all make for good filler to help in shipping. The usps provides free boxes that ship for flat rates (if it fits it ships). Every walmart will give you boxes and buckets of every shape and size they have. Often they will also have styrofoam (bestbuy and hhgreg type stores usually have a lot of this as well) that they'll give you for free. Break that up and it's free shipping peanuts. With free materials a baxter should not ship for more than 5.35$.

You've already had one thread get sent to the Disintegrator Unit because you ripped into a serviceman on these boards because he wasn't spending his disability money how YOU thought he should be-- pretty sad that he probably got injured in the war protecting your freedom of speech just so you coudl school him on what a selfish f**k he is. You're completely and utterly worthless. I've never seen you contribute anything other than negativity to these boards.

I honestly thought this whole conversation had been dropped, but you're still at it. You obviously feel it is okay to rip people a new one anytime they don't behave exactly as you would have them to behave. Most of us are here because we love TMNT. I consistently post in other sections of this forum, it isn't like I'mhere just to make a small profit on toys. Most of my sales are done on eBay, where the fees are VERY high and it is hard to make any money, and the buyers I have obtained on here rarely have any complaints and are usually grateful and willing to pay a little more than market cost for my time and my help. What you're doing at this point is simply harrassment; you're just grasping for straws and you clearly have no life if you're still bullying someone on an internet forum; I traded that Baxter to another member WEEKS ago and you're still going on about this for some reason.

And I didn't lowball you on the ooze; you came to ME trying to convince me that DF probably wasn't offering the ooze at sale price anymore, even though he was, you tried to rip me off and he was happy to sell me the canisters for the low price he had originally offered them to ANYONE for... you're just mad because I didn't let you rip me off. A re-seller is never going to pay above market prices.

Scalper, you are so ignorant. I was trying to pay it forward. Some one gave me a good deal I tried to give you a good deal, you tried to lowball me. Look bak over the breakdown i listed, fmv is not a rip off you Ignorant piece of sh!t That's that. You are psychotic and seriously need to seek professional attention. If you wanna see a selfish fck you should look in the mirror. You obviously lied about being on other parts of the board because you would see I post a decent amount of things, I also stand up for users when they are getting berated for being new.
You eat the biscuit in your little circle jerk. 90% of your posts are trying to sell something, bumping your own threads, complaining about the "disrespect" you receive as a senior member and other nonsense. You can go back under your bridge now troll, I'm finished feeding you.

Usagiyo nailed it in his lengthy post, I think. The hostility is a bit much on the part of all parties, but there is some definite scalping going on...

Scalper!

I didn't read any part of this thread. I just wanted to be mean too.

Shut up, Jester. You're a scalper!
