[FS] 6 inch flingerz available

[Endurs03]

Still pm if you want, maybe we can work out something....I'll sell a set for $70 plus shipping.

I have a Leo with a damaged tab, so the card is all but ruined. I'd let him go for just $15 and shipping.

Target.com had some in stock earlier today. Don was sold out but the others were available.

$25 dollars is kind of ridiculous for these since they're going for about 15 at most stores.

I've noticed if a figure sells for 8.88 in stores then people only want to pay 5.99 with shipping. I'll haggle and trade. However making 20 cents a sale hardly pays for my gas. No one forces you to pay any price.
If a figure at walmart sells for 8.88 and I ask $9 ill still see complaints. I factor taxes, gas to store, and then to post office plus supplies. I'm not paying rent here. I'm making a few dollars. I'm not making millions.

If you want them fine, buy them but losing money in gas and time making $1 on $50 sale isn't like you bought me a ribeye steak dinner.

I'm not mad, however if you think a price is too high there is no point in trying to picket a sales ad. Just ignore it.

[Powder]

As opposed to complaining about the gas and costs... why not just try not buying them at all?

[Endurs03]

Alright I'll try my best to not distribute good finds to others. I bought 3 sets one I am willing to sell. One for me and one for my friends 3 year old son. I'm such a jerk. One to a collector and one to a friends kid. Sorry for bringing a set to the forums.... So rude

I bought one to try and sell on the forums. I apologize for that. I shall not attempt this again.

[Powder]

Chill with the dramatics, just sayin'.

That's a heck of a markup. They are barely worth the $14.99 they are priced at on shelves, IMO... Especially with those paint apps, good looord.

I might be tempted to get the Raph or Don if I see one in stores, but honestly it would be money better spent elsewhere. The Leo and Mikey are just terrible if you ask me.

Good luck selling them. Maybe someone from overseas will bite.

[Endurs03]

Ok so 14.99. They weigh about 1/2lb. 4 figure is 2lbs. So shipping 2lbs is about $8.00 to Seattle. 14.99 * 4 = 59.96... 59.96 *. 07 = 4.20 + 59.96 = 64.15 + 8.00 = $72.15 shipped and no profit or supplies factored. Say $5.00 in supplies plus gas(very low end) ... That's 77.15 leaving a maximum $22.82 profit. I (the *closest* tru is 45 miles away ). I live in Demorest Georgia.
Rude .

I'll just delete my post since I offended you all. I'll try not to make any sales thread. Some of you are really great but I hate defending myself left and right.

20% is what you should tip a server on a good meal. It's not unreasonable to tip someone for a favor.

[Redfield182]

Guy was just tryin' to help someone out! Everyone chill...

Could be good for someone who doesn't have a TRU or much of anything in under 50 miles by them.

I know I'm newer here but I've seen some extras in stores a couple times and thought about doing the same! I'd like to share the wealth with fellow TMNT lovers/collectors! I know shipping will always be killer though when looking for the best price as Target has all 4 of them online now at $12.99 but you're going to pay full shipping and handling costs...

[Zulithe]

By all means sell them for whatever you feel they are worth... but keep in mind a large number of members here are from the USA and have easy access to these figures. That's all.

[ScratchTheHotSpot]

I missed the original post, but people should be intelligent enough to decide for themselves whether something is worth the asking price. If the guy wants to try make ANY kind of profit, you should just leave him to it. There could have been someone that wanted to buy these figures, but straight away this thread was ruined by people saying that it's a rip off.

I feel sorry for you bro.

[Zulithe]

Those figures are not worth $25 no matter how you slice it. I love seeing fans trading, swapping and even selling to other fans, but please be realistic. These are brand new figures, rolling out in stores nationwide. Nobody should be paying $25 for these, they are on shelves for less and common to find. How is it defensible?

Sorry but I do not feel that someone who happens to get lucky and find something first and turn around and sell it at a markup to other fans should be rewarded. Figures are expensive enough as it is.

He has all the right to sell whatever he wants, but if someone smells a bad deal they also have the right to speak up about it.

Like I said, if you want to sell them you could probably find a buyer on ebay. Things sell at ridiculous markups there all the time. But this isn't ebay, it's a fan community.

[Digital Ghost]

Endurs, no need to be so defensive.
Even if you were/are trying to help someone out, there's no need to martyr yourself, justifying anything with equations pertaining to gas, time or other other such expenses.

The easiest thing to do (for anyone) is make a thread, ignore any insults and simply deal through PM. If someone wants what you're offering, they'll let you know... But I have to agree with Zulithe in regards to these figures. He's 100% correct, given that these are hitting store shelves across North America.

Getting defensive and threatening to delete your threads is not going to interest ANYONE, in fact, it will make myself and a vast majority of dromers weary of ever dealing with you in the future. There are members that have done similar things in the past... threatening to remove items from eBay if no one buys, etc. That kind of pushy sales tactic doesn't fly around here.

If people are honest in their opinion and tell you what you're offering isn't exactly a bargain, it's because we try to look out for one another around here. For example, someone might join today and see your offer, not realizing that those figures are a block away at their nearest Target. Are we evil for saving them the extra $ and time by informing them? Hell to the NO.

[ScratchTheHotSpot]

I just don't understand why people feel they need to chip in and blast the guy, make snide comments, just because he's selling these and happens to be making a profit. If people are stupid enough to buy items that are over priced - it's their own fault for not using their own brain to do some research and find out whether it economically viable for them.

[Endurs03]

Not apologizing but a set for $70 isn't bad. It would let me make $8.

Some of you may think me making $8 is too much or too greedy, but those without stores near them it would probably save you that much in gas.

Pm me for a shipping quote . My original, but absurd, original markup had free shipping. Since that markup was a problem we can just work out that shipping quote and then be done.

Violation removed.

"Any post that is made for no other reason than bringing a thread to the top is considered a bump. "

Endurs had a reason to make a post. He had some updated information about his sale. I don't see where the problem lies. If the thread author has updated information, then they shouldn't need to wait 48 hours to share that info.
