Laugh if you must.. but I use to be an eBay power seller.. of.. ne'ermind.. I ain't tellin..lol..BUT.. I lovethe addictive type people...
I also love the people who can't stand to lose, they will pay $20 bucks for a dried up Sharpie or somethin (ok not really a dried up Sharpie, but you get the idea, it was usually over somethin stupid).. they just cannot stand to lose to someone else, so they keep bidding and bidding.. over somethin thats either not worth the price, or they can buy in the store or online elsewhere for way cheaper.
Ok.. I will tell you what I sold. Action figures, from LOTR, and Marvel Legends, some are short cased, one per case of 70, some just rock, and LOTR were so articulated and so not widely distributed I use to get in say $600 worth of action figures, basically they ran aroun $6.98, and I think I sold everyone of them over seas for double and triple that. Some, like the Tranced Bilbo, Light Up entranced Galadriel went for more than that, and the Peter Jackson as a Hobbit I sold for almsot $75. Sounds exspensive, right? When I listed that PJ Hobbit figure, it was bought within 2 minutes. I would get over 80 figures in, look at the store room and say I would never sell all these, and in 2 days they were all in transit to new homes..
Marvel Legends, they have this variant thing going. Say you get a Loki action figure, he comes with the short horns on his helmet, well one per case of 70 or 120 is a Loki with long horns, or a Captain America without his mask, or a grey Hulk instead of the usual Green. They also had all gold variants, or even translucent variants. For awhile they had a program where each action figure came with a piece of another figure, which if you bought the whole set of say 9, it built a giant sentinel robot or Galactus, eater of worlds. So, they all went overseas.. Most times I even had guys who paid me to buy them the whole set before they were even released.
For example.. I can't recall what they are called, but the things from Harry Potter, they fly around, Death Eaters? when they first came out there was one per like 3 cases..fetched high dollar.
Hellboy's even had variants.. smilin Hellboy and scowling Hellboy.. when they came out initially, I think the smiling one went for $20 over the price of the regular one, but since they weren't mass marketed, they still went for over $30 a figure.
Minimates.. the lil lego guys.. LOTR and Marvel Guys.. I got a slew of them clearenced for $1 a pack at Wal-Mart.. sold em for around $10 a pack..overseas.
Barbies.. especially the Toys R Us exclusives and Wal-Mart and Target Exclusives, stores they don't have overseas.. yep.. snapped right up. I had Legends of Ireland the Bard, bought for $25 plus tax, some went as high as $150..what's retarded is, I prolly had hundreds of those in my possession.. it's the one doll I am missing from my own set.
Ok.. so now ya'll know what kind of dork I truly am, and why I love my own collection of action figures so much..
And I have a kick butt collection of Wonder Woman, Female X Men and Xena action figures..
Oh, AND Pirates of the Caribbean's, and LOTR elves..
High Ima dork!
