Oh, I didn't even realize it was footballorangeguy. I should have figured; what a ****.

Blade Raider · 02-05-2009, 09:02 PM

Never heard of this guy, so I looked at his other items

PROTOTYPE AND TEST FIGURES REFER TO THE -----SIZE GROUP----- THAT WERE MADE OF EACH TOY---- NOT-- THAT THEY WERE A TEST TOY OR A PROTOTYPE TOY

WTF does that even mean?! This guy is crazy. Nice to know who this guy is. Makes me wish eBay has an ignore list (Or I could the option if they do

).

*Spitfire* · 02-05-2009, 09:06 PM

He sells crap for insane prices and thinks everything he sells is rare. He's also a scalper and buys stuff cheap and then sells it for 4 times what he paid for it. Tries to at least I doubt anyone is stupid enough to pay those insane prices. If you try to bring it to his attention that his prices are outrageous, even in the nicest of manners, he turns into a douche bag so yeah buyer beware.

Sarah · 02-05-2009, 09:55 PM

yeah, footballorangeguy is one of the biggest pricks on ebay. I don't know how he gets people to buy his crap at those prices. I looked at his feedback and he's actually sold a few things.

does anyone know if he posts on the Drome?

i doubt very much that he POSTS here, but he very well may lurk here. I think hes figured out that the entire community hate him more than...well...other people we hate a lot. So it's probably in the best interest of everyone if he continues to be silent.

*BigApple3AM* · 02-05-2009, 10:26 PM

No reason for all the hate. His auctions are silly but it's very easy to just not buy from him.

I believe he's bought items at very low prices from members of The 'Drome and sold them for more than 4 times their standard going price. Also, he's outbid me on things I really would have like to get my hands on just to turn around and sell it for much more. So maybe not so much as hate, but he really is a bug in the ass.

Fortunately the TMNT community doesn't have it so bad where scalpers are concerned. Other toy lines have much more dedicated scalpers/speculators.

Yeah and Marvel/DC crap as well. Some of that stuff is just bought by scalpers.

Im getting the feeling you guys were not trying to build a collection from Ebay about 5 years ago.
I can't count the number of Times myteefinestuff out bid me.

But I agree TMNT is close to left alone outside of a few people.

Does anyone know about these figures he claims to have that are rubber ?

I think its just a simple residue that can be wiped off of the plastic.

Since the figures were produced in diffrent countrys and at diffrent times they will vary in production.

I have a couple figures like he claims are "rubber".
But I don't own any loose or heard about any loose to be made of rubber parts outside of the heads.

Anyone own any rubber figures ?

*Spitfire* · 02-06-2009, 12:56 AM

Yeah he's a douche bag to who has several ebay accounts and likes to scalp as well. I don't know why anyone buys crap from him either he's insanely over priced too.

*Ninjinister* · 02-06-2009, 02:41 AM

myteefinestuff? I've heard horror stories, but I've not experienced anything terrible from him firsthand. I've filled in holes in my collection, as well as much needed accessories, for much cheaper than I've seen on eBay. True, a lot of the stuff that's on the obscure end of the spectrum are way pricier than need be, but y'know, if my transactions with him have been satisfying, I'm not going to light a bag of dog crap on his doorstep.

lol the thing thats sad and yet funny is he bought most of his crap off me when I sold my collection, and I bought all of that stuff at reatail chains, so not a single damn thing is a prototype or test figure.

What the f***?

A mispacking of a common figure is not worth 500 f***ing dollars.

I have a few figures like that. Off the top of my head I have an april labeled as Casey and a Mozar labeled as Fugitoid.

*BigApple3AM* · 02-15-2009, 02:49 AM

Anyone need Thrashmor dirt cheap?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=270344824081

I submitted a best offer of $2.60 and it was automatically accepted. So definitely submit offer instead of buy it now, it may be as low as $2.50 or $2.

Shipping is very reasonable too. You'll get Thrashmor cheaper than retail price.
