Just caught a glimpse of a scratch during a commercial. I wonder when tmnt show up on this show what he'll price them at? Apparently he's a buyer and seller, but usually he says what he market values things at.

Was it for an upcoming episode? Is so when does it air? I only saw the show once by chance a couple of months ago.

He's talking about the show that aired/is airing tonight

savagejon123 · 11-28-2012, 08:26 PM

He bought a case of 1988's (24 of them) for $1000. 41$ a piece and Scratch for 300$

savagejon123 · 11-28-2012, 08:32 PM

Let's hope this show doesnt make everyone dig through their tmnts for a scratch. Goodluck finding one at a yardsale for a quarter.

haha for a sec I thought you were saying I was in the wrong section. I was like it can't get more toy/collectible than that.

I posted this 2 min ago and saw someone beat me to it. It's a cool show, I have been waiting all season for some tmnt items to be aired.

You and I were thinking the same thing. It's bad enough that the goodwill over prices their video games now they're really gonna go nuts.

Yeah my mistake, I did post the info yesterday in the wrong section.

The show was great though

*tone-master21* · 11-29-2012, 01:20 AM

I saw the episode earlier today and DVR'd it.

koenne · 11-29-2012, 07:05 AM

First he gives all this information about the vallue and stuff , and then he pays allot of money for them , why wouldn't he wanne buy these for stealprices ? :s
Great vid though..

Shogi · 11-29-2012, 08:26 AM

Like other similar shows, like Pawn Stars, he tells them the value but there's an understanding that he needs to sell it for that price. At one point in the show he says something like "It's worth upwards of $200, I'll give you $100"

I would assume he would like the seller to feel like they got a good deal so he would be welcomed back if he showed up again.

I am still new to collecting tmnt. Why is scratch so valuable?

i dont know about anyone else's goodwills but the ones around my area decided to slowly start marking things that are in good condition at prices close to retail value. its a bunch of bull if you ask me, considering goodwill has always been considered "a place for the less fortunate" lol. Though i did get an Adventure Time Slamacow Finn plush in its box for $4.99 and its retail is close to $30 and we got a 2012 furby for $2.99 at one of our goodwills. they obviously didnt know they are brand new and cost $50 at walmart lol

He's a toy dealer and so his reputation is on the line. If he goes on TV and purposely misleads someone as to the value of something just to get if for a steal then he'll lose credibility. Then no one will want to deal with him...end of show.

Scratch was an obscure character to begin with and was produced late in the life of the original Playmates TMNT line. Only one Scratch was being included in the cases delivered to retailers (if that, I don't remember seeing them at all). Since the TMNT figures were declining in popularity, retailers wouldn't have been ordering as many TMNT figures.

Agree with this.

He mentioned Scratch being one per case. Does anyone know what other figs came out in the same cases as Scratch?
