For as seldom as I shave, I might as well use this set. At least then I'd enjoy the process!

The sad thing is, I think I did a bunch of business with him sometime around 2005. I remember it being an altogether positive experience, but that was when he started his listings at low prices and let the highest bidder win. Now, it seems like he manufactures demand by claiming that everything is super rare and by jacking the prices way up.

I think the word RARE or anything relating to RARE should be banned from use on Ebay, it drives me crazy to see how everything is "rare" these days.

*Ninjinister* · 08-14-2011, 10:53 PM

No kidding. I chuckle a bit every time I see "ULTRA RARE!!!!!!!" labeled on stuff that are widely available in stores or are otherwise pretty damn common. I'm actually more bothered by the label "L@@K" on everything. Is that supposed to be clever? To you think by replacing the o's with arobas they're going to respond to your command? Hell, just putting the word "look" into the title is madness. If I wanna look at your product, I will. Telling me to do so isn't going to change my mind if I already have the wish to do so, and frankly, might actually turn me off from clicking your item.

need to start saving up...

*Powder* · 08-15-2011, 12:15 AM

Psht, far too rich for my blood. I got an email about it earlier today from Kevin's assistant, & at the time the starting bid was $100.
3 hours later, that amount multiplied by ten.

Damn, it started at $100? With only two bidders, that means the top guy REALLY wants it.

Part of me wonders if Kevin will get an "Oops, my bad!" message from the bidder....

Yeah, but it did have a reserve, and what that was is anyone's guess. I'd assume it was four to five hundred though at least.

I was half expecting that when a bid war for my Tales vol. 2 #32 ran the price up to $81.00, but the winner came through promptly and has left positive feedback.

Archon_Turtle · 08-15-2011, 12:56 AM

Yeah....I'm out. If it was a painted cover or something of that nature, then fine, but $1000 for a 2011 Ink sketch is crazy IMO, regardless of it being a published cover or not.

*Powder* · 08-15-2011, 01:08 AM

Totally agree. I guess the interest behind it is that it's his like, first published turtle piece since '96, yeah?

**Jester** · 08-15-2011, 01:18 AM

I wonder if it's "one of us"...

Like I've ever bid on a piece of art...the only thing I have that's close is my prize TMNT 4.1 signed by Peter and Jim.

My thoughts exactly. Wayyyy too high for a 2011 piece, cover or not.
