Agreed. Even when there is shipping up here i find its calculated as more then the price of the Item itself.

the shipping from the US to Canada has dramatically increased. I have been offering $5. shipping to Canada for loose figures and have had to recently change it because its costing me 6.55- 8.00 depending on the location in Canada.

blame the post office.

No I mean originally. I bought tons of stuff back in 2002-2005, but never saw this on the shelf.

Sewer Submarine from the 4kids cartoon:

I wonder why the vehicles from the 4kids cartoon don't go for as much on ebay as the original cartoon? I mean these vehicles came out back in 2003/2004...they're a decade old now.

blame the post office.

haha i do blame the post office for the biggest chunk of the shipping cost. unfortunately not much one can do about that. But there is still the odd seller that tries to bump the price of a piece up by over charging on shipping. The prices you quoted are more then fair. Its the guys that try to sell you a loose figure with $20+ shipping charge that get me.

4kids vehicles in general will never out value the OT vehicles since it will always remain its younger brother, not to mention the OT being far more popular and creating more demand and will more likely relate to the younger generation. This is true for other franchises, where the original trilogy Star Wars will always outvalue the prequel trilogy. Fewer examples in complete survive intact since they were made at a time where collecting was seen as an afterthought. And if there was a Sewer Sub from 4kids, why not just get the classic from 1991?


Well, I finally won an authentic, non-reproduced OT script at a reasonable price ($9 less than the Buy It Now, so it worked out for me this time). The seller (Martin Pasko) also listed the script for the Season 2 episode "Curse of the Evil Eye" in the middle of the watch period, but someone used Buy It Now just five hours after it was listed for $25. Hopefully he'll sign my script and being a first draft will enjoy spotting the differences between the script and the final episode. "Menace, Maestro Please" is one of those cheesy Season 4 episodes with Howie, but its cool seeing another member of the OT crew sell some scripts.

Anyone know where or how to report a seller who is shill bidding his auctions?

There was an auction last week for three of the rarer Mini Mutant sets (Cyber Jet, Cyber Rover and Muscle combo)

It ended for around $480 which is fairly reasonable for those three items combined. The winner was a bidder with 0 feedback which is suspicious. But I see the same seller now has all three relisted separately for more. So I looked at the winning bidder's history and he/she has bid exclusively on this seller's items. Seems like a clear case of a seller getting out of the auction with a fake buyer. But I can't find any means of reporting this to ebay. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

The eBay Shill Bidding Page

[jd04988]

The auction your referring to is mine. It was not "shill bidding" but rather a new tmnt collector who is also a member here of the drome who placed a bid and communicated financially she was unable to follow through with her bid, unfortunatey this happens, people get caught in the moment and bid money they do not have, especially with newbies. This person I have sold to regularly off ebay and have communicated through the drome. I am fair to all my buyers hence my perfect feedback, and especially considerate of my fellow dromers, yes the items were re-listed all for buy it now or "best offer" key being "best offer" so if there is an item you are interested in I suggest making a fair offer. As far as this person bidding exclusively on my items I have many return bidders especially here from the drome, each item listed there is almost always 1-2 repeat bidders, mostly because of the rarity, low prices, and fast shipping. Feel free to proceed with your venture however you feel fit but thought you should hear from the source.
