I don't disagree with you, but considering how uneducated most people on ebay are when it comes to rare TMNT, if you hunted long enough you could find them at a decent price. Like I mentioned in a previous post, 2-3 years ago these were only selling for around $50-$60 mib on ebay.

sadly the seller only ships to Us and canada, but a bit expensive

*Ninjinister* · 07-12-2009, 05:53 PM

I wonder why Murphy set the opening bid so high? I've seen unopened packs go for much, MUCH less on eBay (though I cannot think of a ratio off the top of my head, I know it's less than $30)

$41.95 is the flat rate for the USPS mid-size box (outside of canada) so actually he is just covering his bases.

Wow... that sucks... I am sure you can find better methods of shipping for international because I have paid FAR less then that for very large boxes shipping over borders.

Of course you can. That line from the auction is a leftover from when it was a direct copy of Archon's listing, where he was charging the same for international shipping.

Indeed it was. So glad you can use the internets!

Quite frankly, my lack of trying to find a better rate was obviously a deterant for international bidders. Hence domestic shipping was also free in my auction. I have, multiple times, expressed my lack of interest in shipping internationally. Feel free to deamonize me for it, but better I give them a rate then to completely deny them a bid right?

it's rediculous, imo to sell one for that outrageous amount. considering i've seen ones on ebay in the same shape for way cheaper, it's foolish to pay in the 3 or 4 hundreds! but if someone's willing enough to then i guess

Exactly. Something is worth whatever the traffic will bear...so if it bears more one time than another...then so be it.

Tremendously overpriced IMO considering the condition of the suit and the fact that the shell is not authentic... But cool to look at.

This same costume was up on ebay some 3-5 years ago without any buyers.

Canadian Turtle · 07-15-2009, 12:06 PM

The most interesting thing about it is the booklet of photos. I have no doubt this will sell. But ya stupid over priced. Not to mention I don't know if I believe that head is authentic either. If it is I don't think it was ever used. Stunt heads were glued to a hard Fiberglass head, this one does not look like it is glued to anything and it would probably destroy the latex to remove it from the inner head. That and the bandanna was also to be glued on which in this case it does not look like it was. Ouch... Very hard to find, but not something that was used in filming. The legs and hands might have been though.

I got a bunch of mini-mutant sets from the 90's yesterday. I got the Raphael castle playset, turtle in a turtle Donatello with a Raphael head, a Tokka Technodrome playset, and a turtle in a turtle Raphael on card.
