No, this is no April Fool's Joke; I bid 47 times and lost! At least I forced him/her to tack on hundreds and hundreds to the tab here! Sure, there are some fairly scarce figures such as Toon Turtles and a Hot Spot, but I definitely made somebody really happy and someone else a real loser in terms of value! The reason why I did it? Because the other bidder kept having multiple bids, and I just did it for fun, making sure there were at least two bids by the same member before bidding, along with using minimum bidding depending on the number of bids I'm behind by.

On the other hand, I scored this 2K3 lot for just $18 or so:

I still cant believe the prices these are maintaining. I mean for **** sake. That is about what I paid for my Scratch Prototype.

This **** pissed me off. I was the winning bidder for the entire auction, with most of the three days it being $152.50. My high bid was $280, then in the last three seconds, two completely new bidders to the figure put in two INCREDIBLY high bids and completely knocked me out of it.

Damn it to hell. Well, I've still got the high bid on the other one that's up, that ends on Thursday. Hell, now I'm scared, because my high bid is about the same, and I'm sure I'll have the lead until two seconds before it ends, then some jack-ass will snipe me for $700...

I would love it if someone here had one that they didn't care to keep, and would sell it to me for a reasonable amount...

Unfortunately with the market as consistent as it is right now, people would be fools not to take them to ebay.

I'm tempted to make a post of "Things I've paid less for than a Toy Fair Turtle" lol

After the auction that ends Thursday, if I don't win it, that's it for me on bidding on them. If a 'Buy It Now' comes up with a decent price, I'll jump on it, but no more bidding for me. I'll just spend my money on commissions instead.

Oh, and the Kevin Eastman-run auction for the Volume One Number 1 issue autographed, with the IDW Sketch #1 made to look like the Vol.1/#1 issue, was bid up to a little over $3,000, but the reserve wasn't met...

*Shogun26* · 04-02-2012, 08:33 AM

Hi I was wondering if there is a better place to sell things besides Ebay? I really dislike paying the fees to both ebay and paypal for every single item that I sell... esp since ebay takes a percentage of both the total sale and shipping.

Thoughts?

I'm also amazed at these prices...pretty crazy. 2 cents from a long-time collector (as I know your pain when wanting something very badly)...these are super-hot right now because they are the ONLY ones in existence and they're really new. We can't go out to Toys R Us and get our hands on these but soon we will be able to. Wait until Playmates releases these to the mass market later in the year and see what happens to the prices on these. Just like all other collectibles, they will continue to turn up here and there on eBay and eBay prices are driven by current demand.

I've purchased many items for very high prices when they first appeared (or surfaced)...only to see them later be widely available for 1/4 of what I paid. I've also purchased items for very high prices, only to watch them now going for way more than I paid. Kind of like the stock market...you need to determine the risk of buying at prices now...you may look back 10 years from now and be wishing you could buy one for $600.

Hang in there.
