Price Check - TMNT 2 stunt suit parts

Hey guys I told someone that I would check on here for them to see what people that are TMNT collectors would think these are worth. These items are still owned by one of the stuntmen from TMNT 2 secret of the ooze. He is looking to possibly sell them and was trying to find out what a good price would be to list them for sale.

















let me know what you guys are thinking would be a good price for these items

I'll be really honest with you. You'll probably get a bunch of Private Messages with offers from members of this board. I feel bad as I know times are tough for everyone and people are parting with items they hate to let go because they need the money. Due to that sympathy, please, whatever you do, make sure he lists them all on ebay. The final price will most likely exceed any tempting offers from here. I'd also be sure to list them in small, individual lots if possible as certain pieces might be worth more to some who are willing to pay more for just one item versus bid on one large lot. My opinion anyway.

That's a Ninja Turtle costume knee pad by the way. Since it's marked, it will sell nicely as long as its description is correct.

If there were documentation from the studio or some other sort of official provenance, it might give it a little more value but fans will still shell out (no pun intended) a nice amount for these items. I could see the masks going for a couple hundred a piece easily. The arm guards and such could fetch similar prices individually if not more. I'm not the expert on this stuff though. Good luck.

Yeah I am sure the "owner" of them would have something to prove these are the legit items he wore during filming of the movie. Yup it is Mikey's knee pad for sure I just was doing a copy and paste on them all and messed up. i will fix that after I post this.

Yeah I think what it was is someone asked to buy them from him and he was looking for an idea on a value to see if he wanted to let them go or not.

I just told him that I would check a few places to help him out

My unofficial, unspecific estimate is that those items seem valuable. As the first responder noted, putting them on eBay is the way to go. I can't imagine people not bidding on them.

I agree with what Ninja_Shoe_Repair said simply because MOST Technodromers don't have any money for some reason. But the ones who DO pay well for items (and there are a handful on here) will pay top dollar. I'm a big fan of ebay myself (as a last resort), and you friend might be better off selling them on here if he can being that ebay is now taking a final value fee out of what sellers charge for shipping as well (complete and utter bullsh!t).

If you've ever sold on there, you should've gotten a message about it. They're not charging as much to list as they were, I think they did this to ensure that people wouldn't list items extremely low and charge outlandish amounts for shipping. You're giving them the same amount now no matter how you slice it.

Im in interested in the foot mask. I have a lot lot of movie props in my house and can give you a pretty good estimate on the items you have.

In my experience Props aren't meant to sell on ebay. That crowd is more in finding items on 'deals" and you won't get a lot of $ depending on you describe it. but in prop forums people will know the value and give you a good fair price on it.

very nice items by the way. good to see these things still exist!!

I'm not too sure listing them in indiviual lots would be the way to go here. Generally speaking, thats the way to maximize your money but I think in this case there would be a SIGNIFICANT drop off in interest for the wristbands and parts, etc. The real money maker here are the masks so I think that by having one large lot you sort of "force" people to bid up, bidding on things they may not really want (or at least not as bad), just to land the masks. All of that said, you never know what'll happen on ebay and going individually may make even more as I've seen crazier things happen. Just my 2 cents.

It's not my place to give or deny you permission, but I don't see why you couldn't.
