Finally I told myself "$1250 is it, if someone wants it more than that, I just dont care anymore!". Sure enough, $1275.

No matter how much money you got someone else has more. Oh well.

I hate ebay people like you. You bid with another person to completely overblow the price on an item.

Man, this guy is a cancer to the community in more ways than one, eh?

If he is willing to pay the overblown price if he accidently wins it then that's acceptable if not then he should probably delete his account.

Wow! That is amazing, I just feel its very expensive and I would buy it in a heart beat if it was anywhere from £100 or less.

Are you referring to me?

This is a beautiful homage to the most rage-inducing game I've ever played on the NES

That console is a work of art, though.

If not me than someone else. What's the difference? Obviously someone out there with more money than I have wants it more than me. No matter that the number... that dude was going to win. Right?

More money for the artist... more attention for TMNT... whats the negative here? Am I missing it?

You think I was bidding for fun? I was bidding because I wanted to win. Its beautiful... its amazing... its TMNT... I love it. I really wanted it.. and was prepared to purchase. I set a mental limit... and someone went over that... so I am going to stick to my guns and let him have it then.

I dont see what the negative here is?

If you were willing to pay the $1200 and simply just got outbid, then no issue. If you were not willing to pay, and simply bid the price up in order to spite the other bidder (as your earlier post sort of implied...) then that would not be cool.

*Cipher* · 12-26-2013, 11:15 PM

I think he's made it clear that he was bidding up to $1200 with the intention of actually paying were the auction to end on his bid (why else would you go that high?). I don't see what the big D is, although I'll stand by my earlier comment that anything over a few hundred for that is vastly, vastly overpriced.

Sorry about that. YES, I did want to WIN... but not out of SPITE... I had ever intention to PAY that much money had I won. Sure, I agree that it's only worth $400 max, but like I said, I hate to lose. When I bid it up, it was because I was willing to SPEND to WIN if need be.. and I am not scared to blow money on stupid stuff (hello, we are adults collecting children's toys, lol) but even I have to draw a line. I just got outbid.

Agreed, and thank you for seeing my point of view on it and being reasonable. This forum is not that inviting or friendly overall. I have been a lifelong TMNT fan, and was so excited to hang out with others that share my love and obsession with the turtles... I finally got here... and was like... oh...

lol

This forum has the weirdest chip on its shoulder. It's not just you.

Although I'll point out that we're not all adults collecting children's toys. (Some of us are just adults reading comic books and occasionally watching children's cartoons.)

Point taken.

The comics rock. Love the original series. As far as TMNT goes much past 1993 and it begins to get blurry.... at least for me anyways.

If that's the case, then no worries! Sucks that you lost, it does seem pretty sweet. And welcome to the Drome!

Thanks dude. Nice to see a welcoming member.

*discordiatookie* · 12-28-2013, 03:20 PM

It's bloody awesome, and I want one. Not for that price though!

Stingray69 · 12-29-2013, 12:32 PM

What in the world happened that the price dropped all the way down to $620.00 now?
