Yowza! What's really cool is I have this MISB, and I paid 1/3 less.

I think next to Scratch, Shogun Triceraton, and maybe Shoate, this is the most expensive Turtles toy (most definitely the most expensive Turtles vehicle).

*BigApple3AM* · 04-30-2006, 01:17 PM

Man, turtle collecting is starting to get too expensive. I remember when you could find MOC figures on eBay for like $3 each, now it seems all the prices are going up. The Party Wagon used to go for like $30-50, now it seems it's gone up to:

I'm done with eBay, too many turtle collectors getting on there. I'm gonna start hitting up toy shows and comic conventions.

Still I wonder how that guy just "found" a case of Party Wagons? He's in my area, I should try and find out if some warehouse has all turtle toys. Talk about a dream come true if that happened.

I would be wary of buying stuff from the woman who sold that Blimp: I gave her two positive feedbacks for the two Universal Studios TMNTs that I bought from her, because I DID get them, but it took longer than I expected. She charged me $8.00 to ship something that only cost $4.00 to ship, and then I didn't get it for nearly a week and a half after my paypal payment cleared. If anyone wants to know what I think sucks most about e-bay, PM me.

I hate seeing auctions where the seller wants to charge a crazy shipping price to their item. Its ridiculous to even act like it costs $9 to ship one figure on card.

I think part of that cost is driving to the post office, packageing it, and shipping it.

*BigApple3AM* · 06-02-2006, 04:11 PM

Yeah but why should the buyer be paying for their gas? What next, I'll pay their bills too?

Some guy had the nerve to charge me $10 shipping for 2 gi joes. I wouldn't have won the auction had I known he would charge me so much. They charge higher shipping because eBay doesn't take a cut out of the shipping cost. That's why you see auctions with penny buy-it-nows and $80 shipping or something stupid like that.

Krang's Uncle · 06-02-2006, 05:18 PM

I agree with you Ectocooler, i shouldnt (and dont) pay for the other expenses related to the selling of that item. I dont recall reading anything on ebay that says i have to pay for the seller deciding to sell something. They make that choice, and therefore are responsible for whatever extra costs may arise. If thats the case, would the sellers that do that be against a winning bidder not paying the full winning amount? The bidder has to buy gas to get to work.

OA · 06-02-2006, 06:16 PM

Well thats why you should ALWAYS be aware of shipping costs prior to shipping. I've been buying tmnt on ebay going on 6 years now and have only been truly shafted one time...i bought 1 skinny, light animation cel and the guy try to charge me $18!! That was a few years ago but i still remember that crap...fortunately if you deal with reputable dealers and check for the shipping price you should be ok...sure that might mean on passing on something you really like cuz you dont know the shipping/don't want to pay, but trust me, whatever it is you're looking, will ALWAYS come back again...just be patient

Not a bad deal for these guys (it would be worth it if Mike weren't the only one I needed and I didn't already have two MumRaph's).

http://cgi.ebay.com/Ninja-Turtles-In...QQcmdZViewItem

Really not a bad deal when you consider how hard it is to find this figure. If I had the cash to spare I'd be on it.

Same for this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Ninja-Turtles-Cr...QQcmdZViewItem

I would never post an auction here that I was bidding on, because that would be inviting competition, but since I don't have the money for any of these auctions, don't anybody not bid on them because you feel you'd be stepping on my feet. Personally I think these deals are pretty sweet.

60 figures - out of package - 100$

*BigApple3AM* · 08-09-2006, 07:41 PM

This is just one auction, not my entire collection (see the second to last page of the collection thread for an idea on that).

Not bragging, not at all. Just sharing pics of my good fortune. I feel really bad when I buy stuff like this when other countries are at war with each other and pulverising citizens and soldiers alike. Still, I don't drink or smoke, and it's my income so I'll do what I want I guess (yeah you guessed it, I'm having buyers remorse, oh well):

a close up

I really wanted to open some of these guys, but I just couldn't do it. Mutagen Man especially:

Peace

*Brodie* · 08-09-2006, 11:19 PM

Oh man, i cant even remember when toys were $3.37...

Foot Soldier · 08-10-2006, 12:46 AM

yeah good times

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 08-19-2006, 01:36 PM

Even though it costs more, ebay is my friend when it comes to getting cool action figures. I wasn't able to find the 4 basic Fast Forward turtles, so I bought them on ebay. I also decided to buy another Fast Forward Splinter off of ebay, since my first Fast Forward Splinter's arm broke inside.

Then today my Baxter Robot arrived in the mail.

He is such a great figure.

I had to pay more than if I bought him in the store, but he might not be that easy to find. Plus, with Fast Forward taking over, the 2k3 toon figures will probably be a thing of the past soon.

Last night I won a 1990 Shredder for I think $22.50

I never understood why that Shredder figure doesn't have a shirt though.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 08-21-2006, 06:54 AM

Be sure to let us know if you decide to sell any of those, Ecto...

Found it in an eBay auction, I'm not going to bid I was just wondering where it's from.
