I saw one go for $10 a month or two ago on ebay...I wouldn't drop a hundred on it.

It's not that I don't understand or respect collectors, because I myself would love to enlarge my TMNT collection. However, a couple hundred bucks for a 1988 fan club kit, particularly if it's been seen as low as $10 a couple months ago, is way overboard. No offense, of course.

something is worth what somebody is willing to pay.

i wouldn't let mine go for $500.

@sai_of_relief:
As I said, I have no intentions of offending anyone. Of course the basic laws of economy (in America, at least) state that anything is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Supply and demand is a wonderful thing when you're one with the supply, but when you're on the demand end it can be a bitch at times. Anywho, I don't blame you in a way; if I had one, I don't think I'd want to part with it for $500 (unless, of course, I had another one readily available for much cheaper than $500).

I'll sell one for $500.

I responded to the original post. The guy never got back to me. I would have been happy with this offer.

i know you weren't trying to offend anyone. stuff can be found for much cheaper than most asking prices if you simply look and be patient. but if someone wants to drop a few hunnerd for an item, then let 'em!;)

and the only reason i wouldn't sell mine is because it has always been mine..... i actually was a member and kept my fan club kit.

Samhain 05-11-2009 02:42 PM

i actually scored one from a member awile ago. Sorry, im not sure how to close a thread so if someone more wiser than me could tell a mod to close this, thankies. Anyways, to the person who said the price was ridiculous, i admit it was alot but at the time it was the one thing that eluded me for years and i didnt have an ebay account so it was near impossible for me to find one. Hence the price i offered.

Totally. Some people are comfortable with overpaying to insure acquisition. Lord knows I have knowingly overpaid for something before because I didn't want there to be any chance for the seller to say no. This happen a lot when you are trying to buy things that were not originally for sale.

Totally agree. I have probably overpaid by Hundreds of dollars just to make sure i get a certain item. But o well, to each his own.
