NYCC NECA Boxed Set: Sell or Keep?

TwistedMettle · 08-05-2008, 07:23 AM

Hi Guys. I have a NYCC Exclusive NECA TMNT boxed set which a coworker is offering to buy off me for $175. My girlfriend gave me the NYCC NECA boxed set back in May for an early birthday present. My girlfriend doesn’t mind me selling it at all. In fact she encouraged me to saying she only paid $60 for it.

The NYCC boxed set was never opened and it comes with an autographed card by Peter Lair. The box itself is far from perfect, but it is not beat up and is in display condition. It has a crease on the plastic bubble between Raphael and Michelangelo’s head. The corners of the box have very minor dents. The wear on the box most likely occurred during the shipping/unloading process. My girlfriend recalls the attendants at the booth removing them from a box and stacking them as people lined up to purchase the boxed sets.

Do you guys think I should sell it to my coworker and make a quick profit or hold it for the long run? I also read online that there were only 500 NYCC boxed sets made. Is this true? Thanks for the advice in advance.
