  1. Update - this lot has been sold.

     

    Wow, it's been a few years since I've posted here.  Maybe even longer.  

    Anyway we are moving and I have a bunch of older Macross/Robotech stuff I just don't want to move to another house and eBay. 

     

    Most of the stuff has been in our converted garage but as you can see in some of the pictures, some of the boxes aren't in the greatest condition.  Those fancy black limited edition ones are interesting.  Some of them I bought from a user (or eBayer) ages ago and they were actually opened by the previous owner.

     

    Anyway, I'm selling the lot for $200.  Feel free to text me - 213.503.2172.  Take the whole collection and flip them on eBay or setup your own awesome diorama.

    I live near the Santa Monica airport.  I am not shipping these.

     

    Thanks!

     

    I have sold here before (like half a decade or so ago).  

  2. Replied to both PMs.

    One thing I failed to mention in the initial description -

    As the condition of these toys is not perfect, I am happy to offer full refunds (or discounts) if there are any issues with the toys upon receipt. I am not listing these here to make money as I could do that on eBay, but I'd like to give back some of the wealth that the MWFs gave me so many years ago. I'm hoping someone here has a use for these guys (I unfortunately, do not).

    tl;dr - I will definitely try to make things right if there are any issues with these toys.

  3. Scratch & Dent garage sale.

    Hi all, I haven't posted in ages. I have a handful of Macross items that I am looking to move.

    I understand that you may not remember me but I am on the straight-shooters list.

    I also have perfect eBay feedback.

    It's been a long time since I've looked at prices so they are negotiable (if they seem outlandish, please let me know).

    I will put these up on eBay sometime in the next week or two if there is no interest.

    I have other stuff I will also be moving soon... this is just the first batch.

    I send via USPS Priority mail and accept PayPal only. If I over-quote you for shipping I will refund the difference via PayPal (if it's $5 or more). Additionally, I will offer discounts for combined shipping. I will send out boxes on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

    Thanks in advance.

  4. As a seller, it never occurred to me to leave positive feedback for buyers. After re-reading some of this thread, I felt it important to give (very) positive feedback for the following buyers:

    ae_productions - Awesome buyer and good communicator. Thanks very much sir!

    (/'-')/ Peanut - Cool buyer that was very patient.

    Smut Peddler - No worries here. Excellent buyer. Hope your project goes well.

    typhoon - Glad to see the valks made it to Australia. Thanks for buying!

    CheeseKing - Excellent buyer. Thanks!

    and of course KiriK. Thanks for driving down to meet me sir!

  5. YEah.. to me, the best way to maximize profit on something like this is to basically do it all online. AdWords/Overture/MWF would be the way to go. If these are patented, then yeah you could probably sit around and figure out something similar. That $4000 could be better spent. Really, all you're paying for then is the patent and the designs.

    As for the $20,000/extra year. Sure that's nice but on top of one's FT job and life, there might not be a lot left over. With that extra work you'd be doing why not just get a second job and not have to deal with half the headaches that owning/running your own place could provide.

    However, if you're up for doing it Haterist, go for it! If anyone's crazy enough to pull it off, you are!

  6. Hmm. perhaps this is me being a bit stupid but why spend $4000.00 for contacts and a 'customer base? I mean, unless the stands are patented, why not just re-create them yourself? Shoot, we've got amazing modellers here that re-cast entire Valk cockpits and we couldn't reverse-engineer these simple stands?

    To me the smarter thing would be to -

    1. Find a plexiglass plant and give them specs of the individual pieces.

    2. Order a bunch from the plant

    3. list on AdWords/Overture and MWF and see if anyone bites. Really, I don't see what is so unique about what he's selling. If he had inventory, that'd be one thing but he doesn't.

  7. Thanks to everyone for helping me out.  However, I live in Calgary, Canada.  Also, I have tried to search for the book at the Kinokuniya web site, but I can't find that book...  did I look at the wrong place?

    Do you guys know where can I buy this book online for a good deal?

    I saw a posting on ebay for $45.00 us , but the shipping is $28.00 us

    Is that consider a good deal?

    Thanks again

    Patrick

    Yeah the Kinokuniya in San Francisco & San Jose had a ton of them in stock.

    They usually mark up the price just a little past the yen.

    So they are a good option.

    Considering I recently paid twice that, I at least think it's a good deal.
