Mint Scratch for sale.

Hey guys,

I've done something I'm not sure I wanted to do, but did it anyway. I listed my mint Scratch for sale on Ebay. Sorry about the price--- I just bought a TMNT #1, plus I'm in need for $$ for dental work. If it doesn't sell, I might take an offer.

Thanks.

I'm happy your scratch sold at such a good price!
It's nice to know that people are willing to dish out the big bucks for a great item like that.

Thanks! I was just getting ready to put it back in my collection and then I got a bid..In total there were 15 watchers on this item, but of course, most just watch, so I wasn't sure what would happen. The downside now is, I have no Scratch. Ah well, life goes on.

Yeah he's just one I can't part with, because I know I'd never get another one with how rare he is and at the prices he goes for.
And yes I know all to well about watchers, I really wish people wouldn't watch if they have no intention of bidding or making an offer or something.
Just gets the seller excited, and then dissapointment sets in when it doesn't go.
And life does indeed...

Dude that's a good price for Scratch. Seems like TMNT prices are starting to pick up. Hot Spot and some of the lesser but still rare figures are starting to pick up in price too.

Congrats on the auction but double congrats on the TMNT #1. Think of it like you traded Scratch (and some other stuff) for that TMNT #1. How much did you pay and what condition if you don't mind my asking?

Yeah, since I got this Scratch, I've never seen another in person. I actually got this one at a toy show in the 90s, by trading a bunch of moc Starting Lineups and Spawns.

I agree about watching...though I have to admit, I watch auctions I don't intend to bid on sometimes. Sometimes I'm just interested in what the sale will be. Many times I intend to bid, but it goes too high.

Ecto, Hot Spot is picking up actually. I've never owned one myself, might like to get one someday. I'd also like to get a Shoate and Shogun Triceraton, which seems to have cooled down a little lately (one just ended at around $120).

I paid roughly $300 for the TMNT 1, which is more than I've ever paid for a comic book. But since I sold the #3 error recently for $500, I figured now is as good a time as any to get the TMNT 1. It's probably in VG-F shape. Unfortunately, then I found out about all this dental work I need, so the Scratch was my next casualty.
