Can't believe I missed this, even if a little expensive considering I paid $50 for II:

I did snatch this the other day to start my individual Tales collection, and is close to a steal considering I paid about half of cover price:

Old Archie Tundra trade, I believe this one comes with that exclusive new 5-page preface that briefly details the origins:

I'm in the serious beginnings of starting my own eBay store. Any suggestions or recommendations?

I've sold many times online in my life with eBay and Amazon but I just want to take my hobbies and try to make some decent money. Anyone on here live off their online store only???

I don't have an ebay store, but i sell a lot of stuff on ebay to fund my turtle/lego/gi joe addiction.

The most I ever listed at any one time was 25 items and it gave me mass anxiety when they all ended and i realized that "holy **** now i have to wrap and box up all this stuff and make sure i get the right addresses with the right items." Its some really hard work and I will never sell that much at one time ever again.

But I guess maybe I'm just not organized enough to do it. But selling small lots of stuff has been fruitful for me. once a month or so I sell a few things and make a hundrrds dollars or so and go on my way.

so if youre a real stickler for detail and organization i'd say go for it if you have enough items to have in an ebay store because i think they charge you a few for that.

I remember someone wanted this old TMNT handheld game with Berserko in it.

damn good price despite the shape the figure is in

Welp fellas, it's been fun...but I have to part with my collection I just got started on it seems. I need bill money which is more important. I've got my whole collection up on ebay, which includes mint versions of every figure released in 2012-2013 so far (minus mutagen ooze) and includes pop-up playset and the shellraiser. Also have 5 foot soldiers and 2 Kraang as well as April. All accessories are included, all figures are in mint condition. Hopefully they go to a lucky home. Happy bidding fellas, hope someone gets them that can give em a good home! [Mod Edit: Please use the B/S/T section instead.]

You're not welcome to sell your collection here at this given time or in this thread. Sorry to hear about your situation, though.

*Plasticplayhouse* · 03-22-2013, 07:39 AM

holy crap! A few months back Kevin Eastman listed a bunch of colorized/painted pages from the First Comics TPB. If I remember correctly, the pages were listed for $65 each. this ebayer is attempting to his page (not a very good one at that!) for $500!! talk about a scalper! **** like that annoys the hell out of me. if you want to sell it, that's cool, but let it go for auction and let the bidding dictate the price.

I can see why you'd feel that way, but if some sucker is willing to pay $500 for it then more power to 'em. If it were me, and I wanted to unload it, I'd start it at what I paid for it and let it ride.

Personally, as a die-hard Turtle fan, I can't see paying fifty bucks for that page. It's not from the original TMNT #1 comic and it doesn't have any Turtles on it!

*Powder* · 03-23-2013, 02:43 PM

This is a pretty damn cool piece, at a nice price. It's a recreation of the Shredder pin-up from The Leonardo micro series in full color (as seen in the original collected books). I have no idea what the size is, but regardless, it's dope.

I'm the high bidder on this, but unfortunately I feel like a loser, not a winner because the Buy it Now price 30 seconds before this ended was $69, yet somehow someone bid $76 setting me back $7. Also, the shipping is high at $15.50, and I just contacted the seller to hope that it can be reduced, because I want this storyboard so bad!

What could have been:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teenage-Muta...item41713acf97

I haven't payed yet so I'm hoping for some compensation. Also, the same seller had this item with a $49 open/$59 buy it now last week and raised it again when he relisted, and I feel that $18 bucks may have gone right down the drain. What's the best way to compensate given this knowledge of a recent lower price by the same seller?

I think it might be fair to contact the seller before bidding and just say, hey I saw this was listed last week at X price and was wondering if I could still get it at that price? After the item ends, I'm not sure, it would be really nice if the seller was to give you the difference back..and yes, that is very expensive to ship.

I also think its crazy this seller is listed as being in deerfield IL, I used to work in the same village/city, and is only around a 25 min drive from me.

*pannoni1* · 03-23-2013, 06:45 PM

Well he did lower the shipping by $5, but unfortunately declined my "split the difference" offer and decided to pay up since I LOVE the OT and seeing the actual storyboard used from the FIRST SEASON would be very symbolic of what I grew up with. I guess sometimes you have to pay up and it was like gambling, hoping that nobody else would bid or to take a "sure thing" not unlike certain game shows, unfortunately someone bid with 19 seconds left and I had to pay up and should feel fortunate that I even came ahead. At least I found three silver half dollars at the bank today to take the edge off of this. You can't win them 'all. I will just give him a lower communication rating thanks to not understanding the best way to satisfy both buyer and seller, but I guess since this is an auction and not an in-person experience it has different rules and regulations to follow; it shows that its worth what I paid thanks to someone's bid anyways. It might be a good investment in the long run if the Turtles go the way of Looney Tunes/flagship DC/Marvel franchises, plus the fact that this is rarer than Turtlemania Gold shows that I have an exclusive item to own!

Well thats good about the shipping and yes, I Agree, sometimes its def worth paying up if there is a sentimental feeling to the piece in question.
Congrats.

YOU are hoping for some compensation? Give me a break! YOU need to grow up. As a frequent eBay seller (and an human with honor), I find your behavior shameful. If you weren't willing to buy it outright for $59 and then $69, don't b*tch that you didn't get it for that and instead let it go to auction. Also, if you feel the shipping is too high then don't bid (or ask for cheaper options BEFORE the auction ends). It's buyers like you that are making selling on eBay such a pain in the A**.

To answer your question, compensate by closing your eBay account...you won't "lose" any more money and no more sellers will have to deal with you.

CuRSh14 · 03-23-2013, 11:27 PM

What is going on with ebay? Some person has multiple accounts and is over bidding stuff. What is the point? Now I have a bunch of completed auctions that I am not going to get paid for.

I would recommend blocking this guy from your ebay auctions: beta7361, beta73612012, beta7381, beta7392, beta7486, beta8391, beta847, beta981, snow172

As an avid seller and buyer on ebay I have to fully agree with rich. You knew what you were getting into, don't try to lowball the seller after the auction is over.

spp · 03-24-2013, 10:34 AM

Why wouldn't you just use the buy it now? I was watching the item and it had the buy it now up for a long time. Not until near the end did the buy it now go away (when a bid was placed).

I am guessing you thought that you would snipe it at the end for the starting bid and save a few bucks instead of using the buy it now?

Also do not bid more than you want and there can be no problems!!

Unless the listing was incorrect in some way..... asking for a refund is insane. That person was not out to harm anyone nor are they listing terribly like some people I deal with on Ebay. They seem honest and because of that you should be honest, take care of the payment and apologize for even asking for a crazy refund such as that.

CuRSh14- THANKS!!! I will be blocking for sure.

*MrPliggins* · 03-24-2013, 11:30 AM

Rarer than Turtlemania Gold doesn't mean anything..in that case every single one-of a kind animation cel would be worth thousands.
In my opinion it's ok to ask about lowering shipping before bidding..but once you bid, you're pretty much saying you're ok with the shipping price. I know I'd get pretty annoyed if someone asked for lower shipping after the fact. That being said, I always refund the difference if I happen to overcharge for shipping anyway, so people either pay exact cost or less.
