I'm selling my guys on ebay. As I told THEGODBEAST (checked with him first to make sure he wouldn't hate me for selling them), they don't do much but sit hidden from my 3 year old; the heads are too small for him to play with. So, I figure the money I could get for them would be better spent on Romandohs, so we can get some enjoyment together. The buy-it-now may seem high but it's less than I paid for everything and I doubt anyone will hit it anyway. Here's the link, thanks:

Wow, you're selling all of them, huh? You have an authentic M.U.S.C.L.E. version, even though it is incomplete, and a complete Kinnikuman version, so it may get up there, it's hard to say how high though...maybe a couple hundred or more. I hope you make bank on it.

Wow!

Goriki, that orange SHA is awesome.

I think it'd be worth holding onto until your son gets a little older.

[Mr.Monster]

I thought of that, but chances are he won't be interested in them when he reaches a certain age, unlike the rest of us geeks.

[Soupie]

Good point.

Have you considered selling them individually? I think you'd get a lot more money for them that way. Lots generally get a lot less per item than individual auctions. You can always end the auction and relist.

Lets says someone's willing to pay $400 but no more for MUSCLE SHA and someone else is willing to pay only $400 for kinkeshi but the austion goes up to $650 so both of these guys don't bid again. You only get $650 whereas seperately you'd have had $800+

Yeah, my older can't stand all my toys. I try to make sure she at least knows their value. She always says "like you'll ever sell them" I tell her they can sell them when I die but that I won't leave them to her since she gives me so much shizznit about them.

Oh well, their's hope for my younger, she likes to collect Polly Pocket's and Barbies, maybe she got the OCD gene too.

Although I'm not a veteran eBay seller, I thought the same thing.

For instance, I'd be really tempted to bid on that orange SHA, but I can't even consider it with all of them together.

I agree, you'd be more likely to win big if you sold them separately.

[Mr.Monster]

You'd think with all the crap I've sold on ebay, I would've thought of that, but I didn't. Since there are no bids, I may do this. It would also give more than one person a chance to pick one up....

[Mr.Monster]

Okay, here are the new auctions:

http://cgi.ebay.com/...item=5903889796

You might want to try looking at this post first:

[Soupie]

Nice find!

[Juan]

but in that post the auction already ended and i think it ties in with those two links i've put up if you think about it or maybe not.

You didn't read far enough down.

Merged.....

The only thing I would have done differently is started them off at like $9.99 (or lower). Some bidders are discouraged right off the bat from high starting bids. And with auctions like these you are almost for certain going to get people bidding them up to what you had originally wanted to sell them for.

I agree. I've listed CD's for 7.99 and not received a single bid then relisted for a penny and sold them for $13, $15, etc. It can bite ya in the arse too and you end up selling for a buck or two. You never know. If it's something you're sure people are going to want, I think you're safe going with a super low opening bid.

I think it's because once people get a high bid in, they feel they own it already and will keep bidding to avoid getting beat. Once you got that feelin of ownership you'll start thinking "It's only 50¢ or a dollar more", but then next thing you know, you're $5 or $10 over what you were willing to pay to begin with. At least that's been my experience at times.

Good luck with the auctions, I see you've got a bid already

[arforbes]

Well, I was up last night at around the time that these auctions were ending. I waited to see if anyone may have wanted them, but no one was bidding so I snatched them up for pretty cheap. They all went for around what they started off as. I paid $165.50, plus $4.00 for shipping, so $169.50 for five Spinning Head Ashuraman figures!!! And one was a U.S. Super Rare! Not a bad price, I wonder why no one else really bid on these in the last minutes of the auction like I would have thought.

[Mr.Monster]

Yeah, I was wondering that too. Man, I got killed on these. Oh well, I can use the money to pay for the perfect collection (though I doubt I'll win it), or the Romandohs that Johnny is ordering next month. BTW, Alex, the guys are going out today. I had to put them in a ridiculously big box, it was the only one I had, but I wanted to get them out ASAP. They will be shipped priority. Thanks again.

Thanks Goriki!

I will let you know when I get them. Thanks for shipping them out so fast!

[arforbes]

Goriki,

I got the figures yesterday and they are great! You weren't kidding about shipping them in a BIG box! Haha! Seriously guys, the box was like 2' by 3' by 1'. It was huge! At least they were well protected.

I left a positive for you in the Members feedback section.

Thanks again!

Was the winner of this SHA and the BHS a member of this board? I meant to try to get this but I totally spaced thess auctions.
