Where does your TMNT money come from?

[zak_the_neutrino]

How do you buy you tmnt collectibles? Do you put money aside strictly for tmnt stuff? Do you just happen to be out at a store and decide to grab a few toys? How do you go about your funds for turtle collecting? How much have you spent in one outing for tmnt collectibles?

[OA]

At this point in my collection, everything I buy I use money that I made from selling other TMNT items. But early on, I simply bought whatever I wanted as I went along, little here little there.

i do customs from other toylines and i save that as my toy fun money

My primary source is disposable income that comes from my job.

I will make some extra money selling some figures here and there.

I imagine most people have jobs.

When I was younger I got toys from my parents or when I had money for it. As an adult, obviously now I buy whatever I want.

All my TMNT funds started in my pocket. I bought large lots, and many lots. I kept what I needed and re-sold what I didn't keep. Generally speaking I can buy a few lots, re-sell the excess and end up with maybe 3-5 items I wanted and break even.

Flea Markets, Thrift Stores, Goodwill etc often have items I can sell on eBay or items I needed for maybe 25cents to a few dollars. Really if you took your time you could have a very nice figure collection for under $100. However, you will likely not find weapons with those figures.

The money I make from my job, after what's left from rent, down paying loans, food and etc.

Im in the same boat as Joe. I buy what I want with disposable income from my job. If I want it I buy it. I also make some extra cash from selling stuff.

Pretty much the same, albeit more money should go towards that stuff lol

I have a 3 month old son so spare money is non existent
Sometimes i'll treat myself to a 75p pack of trading cards

My wage and girlfriend fund my habit....

Yeah, this. I work as a freelance, so my wage varies constantly. Sometimes I can allow myself to buy expensive stuff, but most of the time I try to save as much as I can because you never know, specially with the financial crisis that's shaking Europe these days.

i donate any bodily fluids they will pay cash for, and extra organs. scratch cost me an arm and a leg . but i can still hop on my left leg and eat with my right arm. this is taking a while to type with only one hand, but no regrets at all i love collecting tmnt stuff.

just kidding by ebay lots keep what you need sell the rest break even make a few $ or loose a few $ still cheaper to collect that way , even worked with my motu stuff, and kept a good variety of other 80s figures , look at mixed lots not just tmnt lots , flea markets have dried up in my area or maybe i just bought all the tmnt stuff already

im with this guy!

Right now I have only enough money for the TMNT comics, and the figures that strike my fancy...

[TMNachoT]

Money from my job and whatever figure/comics i sale.

Luckily I held onto my TMNT collection from when I was a kid, so that makes up a large chunk of my collection. Other than that I have a regular 9 to 5 for funds. I'm pretty satisfied with my collection now and rarely buy any new TMNT stuff. Sometimes if I want to drop a large amount of funds on something I'll sell some customs, like when the new line was released I knew I'd want the main 4 turtles and the Classics so I did up a set of turtles and hoped for the best.

My job and my wife's job. We have a 6 yr. old so after she taken care and house and all that good stuff!

If it's something I really want, I pony up out of pocket. Otherwise, I try to sell crap I don't need to fund my addiction.
