[eBay] "My" newest and likely last batch of auctions has begun...

[Triglyph]

Ok, if you were following what I was doing before with my last few batches of ebay auctions, I had a ton of contemporary turtles on ebay that all started at a penny. I didn't sell through everything and kept thinking "I'll finish it off this week"...about a month has gone by and I still haven't found the time to set up another batch of auctions. I just took on a new full time job on top of the projects I have been developing...so it was looking like I would never get around to listing stuff on ebay...

Last week, I ended up shipping everything I had in my "I gotta get this stuff listed pile" off to a friend who is now listing for me. His id on ebay is toyicons. You can find his current auctions here: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZtoy...QQfsooZ2QQrdZ0 There are some tough ones like karai and feudal shredder, some fan favorites like the toddler turtles and turtle titan mike...and a number of figures come with dvds. Additionally, he has a good 20-30 loose complete contemporary turtles figures that will also be listed...including both Quary and Gen. I am unsure of the starting prices on the loose complete figures, but one can assume they will be in the "start low and see where it goes" style of auctions that tend to perform well for me. Again, this is less about setting high prices and waiting for the right buyer to come along and more about clearing through a collection and taking whatever the auctions sell for.

Why am I selling? I need money for producing some of my own projects and I have decided to not only thin out my collection, but also to get out of the collectibles marketplace entirely. For those that know a little bit more about me, I was involved in toysandtoons.com as well, but as of this week, I am out of the picture there (though the website hasn't been updated yet to reflect this) and my former partner, Peter Lerose, will be the sole owner of the website and everything shown there. The contemporary loose complete turtles that were previously listed on the website are the ones that "toyicons" will be listing on ebay (plus a few more that weren't on the site like gen and quary). Pete was only interested in "vintage" items and has not followed the contemporary line of turtles.

Obviously you'll spend what you want to spend, so me asking for people to "bid high" doesn't mean much, but I paid to ship this stuff up to toyicons and he is taking a percentage of the total sales...so bid high .

After these sales, I just have a set of loose complete contemporary turtles still here with me in FL that I plan to hang onto at least for the time being...and some extra incomplete ones, misc. weapons, and other fun stuff that are open to trades should anyone have an interest in that stuff...but after being in the online collectible toys market for somewhere in the ballpark of ten years (including the time before toysandtoons.com existed), I am now making my exit. Don't hesitate to buy from toysandtoons.com if you see something you want. Pete has been doing this toy stuff for as long as I have and he is great to deal with. Same goes for toyicons...after he sells through my stuff, he still does quite a bit with power rangers and has talked about opening a .com store in the near future.
