Some people gonna hate me... but I can't resist

I know some of you have paid lots and lots of Dollars for their Mirage collection and I always wanted to have all the books, too. But since I live in Germany it's hard to get them and also very expensive.
Try to imagine how I felt like when I found this on ebay.de:
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (92 Comics!)
-TMNT Vol.1 #1 (5th printing)
-TMNT Vol.1 #2 (3rd printing)
-TMNT Vol.1 #3 (2nd printing)
-TMNT Vol.1 #4 (2nd printing)
-TMNT Vol.1 #5 (1st printing)
-TMNT Vol.1 #6 (2nd printing)
-TMNT Vol.1 #7 (2nd printing)
-TMNT Vol.1 #8-62
-TMNT Vol.2 #1-13
-TMNT Vol.3 #1
-CASEY JONES - NORTH BY DOWNEAST #1-2
-THE MALTESE TURTLE
-THE HAUNTED PIZZA
-TIMES PIPELINE
-TEENAGE MUTANT NINJAS / FLAMING CARROT CROSSOVER #1-4
-SAVAGE DRAGON CROSSOVER
-BODYCOUNT #1-4
-CASEY JONES & RAPHAEL
-DONATELLO - TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE # 01
And the starting bid was 19€!!! What can I say, I won the auction for the ridiculous amount of 60€ (about 70$) + 8€ shipping. Today I got them and nearly all of them are in excellent condition.
Here's the link for those who don't want to believe (no matter you can't read German): http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=8586&rd=1
God, I love my life!

The Euro is worth about $1.15, and it's on the rise. So 60€ is worth about 70$US.

I agree with Karpo on this one!

*JameO* · 10-22-2003, 08:03 AM

NOW THAT'S A DEAL! Wow very nice find. Way to go! When I get money and an ebay account I might try and get Mirage comics too.

**HorseTechie** · 10-22-2003, 10:55 AM

Heh... well, I guess since you're in Europe, that's a deal. Not so much of one in the States, especially since the older reprints of the first few Mirage comics can be found for a couple bucks at many places.

**Karpo_007** · 10-22-2003, 01:48 PM

He got almost every Mirage TMNT comic there is, It is a good deal no matter where you live...

*JameO* · 10-22-2003, 08:04 PM

Yeah but those are a couple of bucks for one. He got all that for 70 bucks. Now that is a wicked deal!

Oopp.. my bad. I missed seeing the one listing were he had gotten 8-62.

**Karpo_007** · 10-23-2003, 10:16 AM

Yeah, I tought so.

**Barkworm** · 10-23-2003, 10:23 AM

What is all the stuff really worth?

**Karpo_007** · 10-23-2003, 11:20 AM

In near mint condition, I paid about 30$ for the first 10 issues, and about 2$ per piece for the rest. Some specials were little more expensive tough.

*Cascadia* · 10-23-2003, 11:40 AM

my entire Mirage collection cost me about $60
