No TMNT toy is that rare or worth that much....Idiot! Some people on E-bay are just looking to screw over the naive.

How tempted am I to shell out $30,000 for three figures I already have multiple of?

And even at $1,000 starting price, you would think the LEAST they could do would be to purchase a Shogun Triceraton and try to pawn it off. I mean, these guys aren't even that hard to get!

And I mean, they have to pay like $10+ just to list something with a start price and a buy it now price that high... They must honestly believe they can get that...

Silly people!

I think they only did this to get attention, I mean they got us talking right? I seriously doubt they think anyone will buy them at the price. People do this on eBay all the time, I don't know why. It does cost money to list on eBay.

Maybe they are trying to get the 'news coverage' like all the other 'odd' ebay auctions...

And if you get the press interested, you tend to sell your item... But it's a toy... It's not going to be news worthy.

I don't get why people do this stuff...

This is absurd...people like this are a waste of ebay space and just add more junk i have to go through when i do searches. Simply saying something is rare is not going to get someone to spend 10,000 on something. Is there even an action figure alive worth $10,000?

There are a few. Don't know specifics but I know one of my relatives has one (Mint in box, never opened, blah blah blah). I think it might be a G.I. Joe but I nevered paid attention much to figures I wasn't interested in.

I am sure there are more than just the one out there... But the Ninja Turtles had such a huge production (even to the end although it was only proportional) that none of them will reach that kinda status...


The only other auction he has sold that was toys was loose Star Wars toys and it sold for $200... The rest are like $50, or $5 auctions... How dumb this guy must think we are?

I believe one of the rarer action figures out there is from the orinigal Star Wars line and I think its called Jawa w/ Plastic (or vinyl or something) cape....i've seen that go for around $3,500...and trust that me, thats a GAZILLION times more rare these Talking TMNT are...
