Wow! What a deal...

[Krueger]

Ugghh. C'mon, man. How can you post this and expect anyone to bite? I'm sure everyone on this forum finds this disgraceful.

[evil_henchmen]

No one is forcing you to buy anything. I am simply providing a service to those who may not have the opportuinity to spend the day looking for toys.

I have to spend all day looking for toys because of people like you who run out and snatch them all up before I can get even one it's called being a scalper and it's not cool.

I don't know, Putrescent. I mean, I did buy a figure from him once, and not only did he take a long time to ship it, but he opened it. I said "don't bubble wrap it because I'm only going to open it," and then he opened it up before he sent it.

I buy TMNT figures and sell them for a lot more than what I paid for them on e-bay. It's a BUSINESS. You're doing the same thing with all of your old toys: you'd have sold all those NT:TNM figures if your prices were more reasonable. A lot of it is luck. So if what he's doing bothers you, there's a good chance that it bothers you because you're doinjg the same thing in a sense.

Yeah, what he said...

[Roseangelo]

Scalping is buying current, in-demand figures for the sole purpose of reselling them for profit on the secondary market.

Selling your personal collection is NOT the same thing.

Um Darth I am selling old figures that are hard to find because THEY CAN'T BE BOUGHT IN STORES ANYMORE and are from my personal collection I want to turn a profit so it's worth my getting rid of them not because I want to sell them and rip fans off.
And When did you ever buy a figure from me that was opend? Unless it was something in the box not a blister card the only reason it would be opend was because it had been for years or I opend it to check and make sure everything was ok the tape being cut on a box isn't the end of the world.
And I find it funny I've never had a single complaint on ebay from anyone (well besides a few nitpicky people who's idea of mib is like straight out of the case) and now you come out because I say what this guys doing is wrong so you try and say I'm selling sh1t reall nice makes me wonder...
Oh I've also gone out of my way to make my ebay customers happy this one guy was unhappy with something I sent him right so what did I do I sent him 3 hard to find tales of tmnt issues yeah what other seller would go to that length to make his buyers happy I don't think that many.
The figures this person is selling are in stores right this very minute and you don't like what I'm selling don't buy it but my prices are not in any way shape or form as unreasonable for figures you can buy in a store right now for 6.99-7.99
And you know what else I've sold allot of them because I'm a good honest seller and always inform people where there's something wrong with the box, if something has taken me awhile to ship it it's because I had a medical or dental problem which really is no one persons business on this site at all.
I'm sorry but my health is more important to me than taking an extra week to send some one a figure.
Like I said this guys scalping figures you can buy AT THIS VERY MOMENT making it hard for others to find them it wouldn't even be an issue if he had one and was selling them he bought 3 friggin shredder figures jacked the price up and expected people not to p1ss and moan about it gimmie a break it's internet highway robbery.

Exactly I'm selling things I need to get rid off and are very hard for me to do so so I'd sort of like to make some money off of figures that you can't buy anymore for the love of god it's not my fault you can't buy toys from the 80's and 90's in stores anymore shesh.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

No, you misunderstood me. I bought a figure from evil_henchmen that was advertised as "MOC" which he opened before shipping to me because I told him I was going to open it. I didn't have any problem with the item that I bought from you, nor do I think I will have a problem with either of the figures I am bidding on right now that you have for sale. All I'm saying is that I don't think that what you are doing is all that different. I'm not saying you're a bad person or anything like that. All I'm saying is that if people don't like his prices, they can get the movie Shredder figure somewhere else. Just like I'd rather wait until someone has all those NT: TNM figures for a more reasonable price rather than buy them from you for several hundred dollars.

EDIT: You may think that what he's doing is immoral, but that's your opinion. It's not illegal. More power to him for having a good business sense and getting to the store before anyone else does. Better collectors get these figures than some snot-nosed little brats, anyway.

Yeah since 20.00, 30.00 & 40.00 is bad prices for delux figures you can't even buy anymore.
And I am not doing anything close to what he's doing.
And seriously try and find any next mutation figures in as good of condition as mine are I took very good care of my mint in box stuff and am very proud of my collection it kills me to part with it but I must and as my collection becomes smaller and smaller I guess I don't mind so much.
And I really think you're missing the point that others and myself are trying to make here.
Old figures not in stores being sold at high prices because they are hard to find is a hell of allot differnt than a current 6.99 figure being sold for 26.00 + whatever else.
The money I make from these figures is going to 2 things the funding of my music video for my band & getting me back to Los Angeles because I lost my apartment over a year ago and have been stuck in pittsburgh,pa.
It's not just another case of omg my mommy said she'd throw them away it's a fact of I really need to sell these and for a good cause.
And sorry about the missundertstanding but you should say who you're talking about next time directly because you said my name right before you said that.
My best Sellers haven't even been from America go figure people in other countries know how hard those next mutation figures are to find and I've sold plenty of other figures for very low prices uncluding shogun triceraton and shogun shoate.
Oh and Darth I'd hardly call the 2 items your buying off me over priced one bit.
Shogun Raph First release

Ace Duck w/ collector card {do you even know how ard that figure is to find like this}

Um dude those snot nosed little brats are what keeps the line afloat not you and me wow thats just rude.
And it's wrong because he didn't need to be 3 of those friggin shredders one or 2 is more than enough let one there so a kid or another fan can buy one without having to pay double the current price of the figure + shipping and handling thats just messed up.
Oh well I really don't care that much let him ripp people off if they're that dumb.

I'd imagine by the beginning of your answer that you'd be against his selling but then you turned around with what you just said.

Honestly, after working retail... I began to hate the ebay pigs. Yes, I call them that. These hogs would come in at the first minute of the store opening to buyout all the hard to find figures just to resell them. They'd even call the store and demand to know what figures were on the shelves. And then they'd demand us to put them on hold until they came to get these figures. Pissed me off because there would be stuff I'd want to get but these hogs would get to them first and buy out every Marvel Legends/Star Wars/Transformers, etc possible to sell them for a huge ass increase.

We had people buying out the Chris Benoit figures to ebay them right after we found out that he killed his family.

What Putrescent is doing by reselling a TNM figure for a profit is alright. You can't get TNM in the stores but Shredder? You should be able to, but hogs and those with greed buy them out just for the sake for making money while collectors and the kids are looking for it.

It's why the toys suck. Obnoxious zealots buy out the figures that kids would want as well as what collectors want... Leaving us with the limited and junky repackaged turtles. Eventually we stop collecting because we can't get what we want. And then the toy line fails because we stop collecting.

BTW, CJJ... Check your signature. I think you meant, "Take CARE," unless you want me to take your car?

And that snot-nosed little brat was you 15 years ago.

It was me 15 years ago.

It was all of us 15 years ago.

So that point is void.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

This is coming from someone who has hundreds of army builders. Seriously. No. I meant "take car."

All I'm saying is that if evil_henchmen can sell those three Shredders and have three happy customers, more power to him. Last time I bought from him, it wasn't the best transaction I'd ever had, but oh well. Someone shouldn't have to be flamed just for trying to make a small profit. I'm doing the same thing, and until the turtles themselves start haunting my dreams, I'm going to keep doing the same thing.

Putrescent, I meant you no harm. Seriously. I really want those two figures I bid on; if I didn't, I wouldn't have placed the bids. All I'm saying is that there will probably be a surplus of Shredder figures later on; if anyone doesn't want to buy them from him, that's their business. He shouldn't be flamed for trying to make a small profit.

It wasn't the two figures I bid on that I think are over-priced. I think the NT:NTM figures are. That is my OPINION. It is not a personal attack.

Hundred of army builders? Hundreds is an over estimate. And to be honest, most came from flea market finds or ebay. I've purchased great steals of 16 MIP Movie Star Foot Soldiers for a total of $3.99 plus $15 shipping. I've gotten 2k3 Foot Soldiers as gifts as well.

Triceratons were peg warmers by me. No one was buying them. The Utroms? Those just happened to be finds for my new released TMNT hunts and not finding anything.

I don't get what army building has to do with this though. If you are accusing me of hording TMNT figures, it's because I love these figures and the factions they represent. I'm not selling them either. CJJ, I have no problem with you selling a Fast Forward basic turtle for $6. That's the general going price; within a dollar either way. But more than a couple bucks on a figure that isn't even a month old... that's wrong.

Care to explain how army building is bad for the fandom and the franchise? I got Triceraton ships on clearance for under $5 each. The Mutating Foot Soldiers as well. I bought the crap no one else wanted and I got in bulk.

I'm no different than the GI Joe fan buying Green Shirts or the Vipers, BATs, or the Transformer fan buying the Vehicons, or the Star Wars fan buying the Storm Troopers...

But buying something to deliberately sell for a $15 profit from a toy store is insane. Especially trying to see it to us, Dromers, MikeysTMNT goers, etc. We know where to find these figures and we know how hard and easy it is. Right now, we can't find Shredder as easily as we want but just like Karai, she will be all over the place.

It's not like we're talking about TMNT Volume 1, Issue #1, First Printing... We're talking about another Shredder figure. And not even a Transformer Movie Arcee figure (Deluxe edition, not that cruddy Target repaint.)

[Wes]

CJJ! Good to see you, man! That said, I totally disagree with evil_henchmen's scalping practice and fully support everyone who's taking him to task for it. But he's evil, so what should we expect?

Also, as Slash and Putrescent (and others?) have pointed out, 15-20 years ago WE were those snot-nosed little brats who couldn't wait to get our hands on the latest TMNT figures. Shame on you for being so cold to your former self, CJJ! Somewhere in the past, a tiny you is crying.

And Slash, I literally laughed out loud when I read your comment about the Benoit figures. Joke's on those people (and me, kinda...), 'cause those toys aren't worth crap! They do make for fun SC articles, though.

And not that anyone should be jumping on you for anything here, Putrescent -- let's reserve that for the evil one! -- but $40 does seem like a pretty steep price for a 10-year-old figure that didn't even come from Japan. You're not guilty of scalping it, though, since TNM figures have been out of retail circulation for years.

Take car, y'all.
