I am getting some prices together on them I am looking for fee free paypal or paypal plus the fee. I am assuming i can ship these at 25 bucks a pop with insurance. IF no one is interested i will put them on the bay. Figured i would try here first

I am thinking 675 for donnie and 500 a piece on the others. plus the 25 shipping

PM sent! :)

daviscfad 06-30-2013 05:55 PM

Everything still available! Really looking not to ship overseas

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 06-30-2013 06:31 PM

I sent him a PM. If he's interested, he can pay me, I'll pay you, and then re-ship. All he'll have to do is pay shipping twice and pay me a small fee for the trouble of re-shipping it to him, that way if there's a problem, it won't affect you in any way. I've NEVER had a problem shipping overseas on Technodrome, and there are quite a few international buyers here who can vouch for my integrity. I'm not gonna steal his statue :tlol:

If you're willing, Filespit will pay me, I'll pay you, you'll ship to me (in the US) and I will re-ship to him, that way you won't have to worry about being held responsible in the case that there is a problem. You will have to make sure you get the figure to me unbroken, however. We really need to get on the ball about this if you're interested.

daviscfad 07-02-2013 03:14 PM

Leo is pending

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-02-2013 04:12 PM

Filespit has sent me the money and it is in my PayPal, but I'm NOT going to send you a personal payment for $525 without his permission, which he told me he never gave. So you guys need to work that out. If you want a personal payment, you need to ship the statue first. I've been trading on these boards a lot longer than you have, so this isn't an unreasonable request: if you ship it Priority tomorrow, I'll have it in my hands by Friday. I can't blame him if he says he doesn't want me to send the money as a personal payment because then you can run with it and there's nothing either of us can do. He'll also be screwed over because he sent ME the money as a personal payment and PayPal still charged him $25 to do that, and that will be money he can't get back. He'll only get back the $525 + what he is paying me to re-ship the figure to him.

Not sure how things got mixed up? It clearly says in the first post "unedited" that I want fee free Paypal or PayPal plus the fee. I am not looking to cause trouble or loose a sell but that's what I wanted. If I need to ship to you first I guess I can as long as your established, which I haven't checked yet

That is a very unreasonable request.

Unreasonable to me too.
The seller should not ship the stuff first, nor should the buyer send a personal payment.
This is an expensive transaction, somebody has to pay the fee for the purpose of insurance. Unless both the seller and the buyer know and trust each other very much.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-03-2013 05:01 AM

Filespit already had to pay $25 to send the money to me, even as a personal payment. So he was out another $25 there because you wouldn't deal with him directly. So now he's gonna have to pay another $25 to cover the PayPal fee that PayPal is going to take for buyer protection, on top of the $35 give or take a few dollars it is going to cost me to re-ship because you didn't want to deal with him directly? Seems international buyers are really getting screwed. This statue is getting expensive fast.

I don't remember ever seeing "fee free" in your post, or that the fee needed to be covered, but you really should have just come out and said "I want $525 + shipping" for these since NOBODY in their right mind is going to send you $525 as a personal payment when you've only got 86 posts.

And Rose-- if this deal had been finalized in a timely manner, I would have had the statue today and he would have had the money today. I have integrity, asking him to send the merchandise first was NOT an unreasonable request. I had another Technodrome member send me $400 worth of electronics merchandise to sell on eBay for him about a month ago, trusting me not to just pawn it and run with the money. I can't help it if you're not trusted here the way I am; for me to make a request like that in a situation like this is not "unreasonable" just 'cause you think it is. Lots of people trust me as a trading partner here, and I've only had one unhappy buyer that I can recall since I started selling here, and that was hotjuicyburgers.

Davisfad, I can appreciate you wanting to get top dollar for these, but there is a difference between wanting to get top dollar and just being greedy. The red flag for me was the message you sent me saying "he said it was alright for you to send me a personal payment" when Filespit NEVER said that. It was a good thing I messaged him immediately because there is no telling what kind of mess we'd be in now had I just gone and sent it. I'm just asking you to consider what it has already cost your buyer before you demand another $25 out of him. If this transaction goes sour and I have to refund him what he initially sent me, he's out $25 (as far as I know) because that's what PayPal charged him to send me the money in the first place, and since it was a personal payment, I doubt they're going to refund it.

daviscfad 07-03-2013 05:58 AM

I dont know how to check the message I sent, but best I remember I said make sure you send it fee free or paypal plus the percentage. If I wanted to pay a but load of fees I would have sold them on ebay. I have no problem shipping first to keep filespit from spending more money. Just must have been bad communication. Send me your info and I will ship the statue today. I trade on a regular basis on some coin forums and have several hundred feedback. Plus my ebay id of wheatman27. I know one thing post count does not credit whether or not someone is a good trader. So just pm me your address or post it in the thread. Btw it seems filespit sent the money to you as a gift. Evidently he paid with a credit card, is why he got charged a fee. I am located in nc so u should get it quick. Thanks for your help in getting this straight

Filespit 07-03-2013 06:28 AM

To clear things up a bit to all parties. Yes, I paid using a credit card, which is why I was charged. When paying through paypal I could choose to pay as either payment or gift, but either way someone had to pay a fee I'm afraid. As payment the receiver had to pay it, but as gift I had to do it. So I chose gift and took the hit. So I'm out $25 and wouldn't really want to pay another fee for another transaction in which I'm not actually involved. But it seems we've cleared things up now so we can have the statue shipped. It would've gone a lot smoother if davicsfad would've shipped it overseas in the first place, but it is what it is and it seems we can finally finish this.

Where in NC are you? If it isn't far, would you rather just drop it off?

I can't exactly blame him for not wanting to ship overseas per se, I rarely have problems with it myself but problems do occur from time to time-- I sold a Krang's Android Body loose with just the Krang (the smaller one) to a guy in Australia for $40 shipped and the post office lost it. So there's no telling where it is now, and when all is said and done, I may be out of pocket $40. I only agreed to re-ship the item for Filespit because I was sent a personal payment, on eBay I'm forced to take responsibility for the post office's negligience from time to time, but I don't allow that to happen to me in other venues.

daviscfad 07-03-2013 07:19 AM

Its a little to far to drive. Im at 95 va border. It will be in the mail today thanks again

daviscfad 07-03-2013 04:24 PM

Still have the other three lets make a deal

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-03-2013 04:39 PM

It says electronic shipping info received, I can pay you for the shipping as soon as you send me an exact shipping quote.

daviscfad 07-03-2013 05:27 PM

You can just send everything when you get the statue. No need to send money several times

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-05-2013 11:33 AM

The $525 has been paid to you now via personal payment.

If any other international buyers are interested in the remaining statues, I would be happy to help, just know that I am going to have to charge a flat fee of between $80 and $100 for shipping, and if shipping winds up being less, you'll receive a partial refund. This was a big hassle for everyone involved, but I learned a lot, and if there is need to do it again, it should go smoother the next time.

Marshall84 07-10-2013 12:30 PM

Is mike still available or Leo? greetings

daviscfad 07-10-2013 07:13 PM

Leo is sold all the others are available

If you're interested, I can help you with this-- will respond to PM.

Filespit 07-12-2013 09:31 AM

I can confirm Leo has arrived in Sweden, but I am yet to receive him. Will probably have him by monday or tuesday. ***The One True Shredder*** helped me a great lot to get it here so his services are warmly recommended if any other international buyers are interested in these statues.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-12-2013 11:11 AM

I'm still waiting to hear back from both of you, This statue needs to be in the mail by tomorrow if I'm going to be able to get it out Monday.

daviscfad 07-12-2013 08:21 PM

Sent you a reply to your email

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-12-2013 09:37 PM

Need payment from Marshall84, I'm sure I will have it soon. It would really good if you could get the statue out tomorrow so I can ship it back out on Monday.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-13-2013 11:46 AM

If anyone else overseas wants Raph or Don, I will be happy to drop ship those to you for Daviscfad as well. I'm charging $30 a statue for the work involved. It costs about $90 to ship one of these overseas.

daviscfad 07-13-2013 10:48 PM

Mike is sold. Don and raph available

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-14-2013 11:50 AM

I'll bump this since your best bet seems to be the international buyers, and I've been facilitating those transactions.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-16-2013 04:38 PM

I'll bump this for you again.

Filespit 07-17-2013 09:28 AM

Leo arrived today, or rather I picked him up from the post office. I had to pay a hefty import fee to get him though, but that's part of being an international buyer I'm afraid. He's in one piece though which I'm very happy about. Thanks do both daviscfad and ***The One True Shredder*** for helping me out, now I finally have the complete set.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-17-2013 10:05 AM

Sorry about that import fee-- looking back, since you sent me a personal payment, I shouldn't have bothered with the insurance, which resulted in you having to pay that hefty import fee.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-19-2013 05:22 PM

Bumping this for the seller, these may go on eBay soon, and I will gladly assist so that international shipping will be offered on there as a way to benefit those potential buyers as well as the seller, who for good reason isn't comfortable with providing that service himself.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-22-2013 08:40 AM

Bumping this again.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-24-2013 12:11 PM

With Daviscfad's permission, I'm listing these on eBay for him.

Marshall84 08-01-2013 01:40 AM

I can confirm that Mike has arrived today and everything is awesome, no issues or anything like that. So thanks to daviscfad for selling Mike and a big thanks goes to ***The One True Shredder*** who was the perfect "middle-man" here. All faith goes to TOTS. Awesome deal guys!!!

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 08-06-2013 11:18 AM

Donatello and Raphael remaining. Daviscfad allowed me to put these on eBay for him since it is more likely that they'll be bought by international buyers anyway, and putting them on eBay increases exposure.

dkram230 08-06-2013 01:25 PM

Wow I can't believe how expensive these got in just one year!!!! I have the Playmates cold cast statues and I'm still happy I choose them up over the Sideshows. But I would still like to scoop these up some day! Hopefully the market will relax in a few years lol! They're really nice pieces.

daviscfad 08-17-2013 12:06 AM

Raphael is sold. Don is available
