Playmates ALL 4 Turtle Statues
 

I know some of you are still looking for the Don and Raph statues. This auction is for all 4 for $2000. THAT IS A GREAT DEAL!

I recommend any of you go for that.

No, this is not my auction. Just wanted to share.

I second this... The free shipping is an added bonus since its coming out of Hawaii. I'll be watching just to see the final price

Someone needs to alert The Fifth Turtle to this thread; he's been looking for that Donatello statue for a long time.

Seen it! Thank you CJJ :)

These statues are without their boxes and COAs. Also clearly displayed. I'm not sure $2K is a great deal, but for someone who wants the whole set, it's an easy way to acquire it.

There is also a single Donatello statue up, ends in 5 hours. The current bid is a whopping £2,500 though! Is he worth that much these days?

Holy crap! If Donatello by himself is at $2,500 with a seller that has a feedback rating of 1, I'll be interested to see how much the set of 4 goes for from a seller with a more established feedback! I may be enticed to put my set up for sale- geeze!!!!

Take a look at the ebay thread. In it I discuss my thoughts about this auction and shill bidding.

Donny is at 4k. WTF is happening?

I suddenly feel like my net worth it a little higher now than it was when I woke up this morning LOL.

The feeling is mutual.. I wonder if the bidder is serious or not... I though the $825 I paid a few years ago was a lot

I here ya! I paid around $1,000 for the set of all 4 boxed last fall and thought the same. In fact, I joined this forum just to get opinions on if I paid too much! Guess I have my answer now. :lol:

It's a shill bidder. The same "bidder" leading all of this guys auctions. He has even listed and relisted the raph statue. Id avoid this guy like the plague.

Yea, I never put any stock in auction results where the seller has a feedback rating less than 10 and I certainly would never buy from them. Especially for a piece as expensive as this. The auction for the set of 4 statues, however, is from a seller that has (20) 100% feedback and has been an eBay member since 2004. It currently has a single bid at $2,000. I'm interested to see the final value of this auction as I'm fairly certain it's legit.

I'm wondering if the same thing happened with a copy of IDW TMNT 5 Cover A by Santolouco, that went for $165 shipped today. The book is worth easily $50 to $75 to an international buyer (not including shipping), but $165??? If it is, it is the first time he's listed it that I could see.

Quite possibly.

Is there any way to tell, other than the seller relisting it?

I'm pretty confident that that listing is legitimate. I am, however, surprised that someone bit given that those statues are without their boxes or COAs. They're also pretty dusty, which means they weren't in a display case, so I wouldn't expect them to be in near perfect shape. How funny that these statues create such a buzz every time they show up on eBay!

The seller of that listing (tmiles616) has only 1 piece of feedback from another seller- says "never paid"- Meaning he has 100% positive feedback (because sellers leaving buyers feedback has to be positive) but for scamming another seller.

Also, the winning bidder s***s, who did the most driving up of price- only puchased from tmiles616 for the last 30 days- 2x. Most other bidders listed (I didn't take the time to check them all) have purchased from at least 2 different sellers.

I'm just saying.... you can't make it look much more suspicious than that....

If you are scratching you head at how I got this info, let me know I'll talk you through it. Pretty easy to find, just got to know where to look!
