And Vince, yes. I'll be selling off more Squdts, but I am trying to stagger them so people can get the ones they want without going broke. I will be selling many, but not all, of my Squadts. I really struggled with how to sell my Squadts. I wanted to sell them on the boards, but I don't know what they are all worth, and I was concerned about people getting on my case about prices and just decided I would rather just let the market decide what to pay for them. I hate ebay, but in my current financial position I really need to get somewhere near what they're worth. It's a situation where I felt like I wanted to help out my boardies and I would have wanted to give everyone a good deal on them, but I just can't afford to do that right now. I hope you all understand. I'm still a massive Jamungo/Playge fan and I'll still be on here and buying all the Buds and Squbes. If I wasn't so hurting for money right now I would never have sold a single piece of my Jamungo/Playge collection.
And many thanks to you for everything, Chip!
You have every right to sell where you want.
All the best man.

dreamattack27 wrote:Hey everybody, just letting you all know that these ones on the bay are mine. I've been outta work for almost five months, and I gotta pay the bills. Hanging on to all my Buds and Squbes, but selling about 85 percent of my toy collection. I'm moving from Chicago to San Diego in the end of March for a new start and to look for jobs. The move is gonna cost a small fortune as is, plus I have to buy a car, but hopefully I can make it work.
Hey dude, I'm so sorry for what your going through. But I'm happy the money for the Chipp went to you instead of someone else. Good luck with everything, and many thanks!

Yeah...it's hard to decide to collect older stuff when the prices skyrocket... I suggest pick a couple pieces that are your "grails" that you'd be willing to spend the dough on, then leave the rest for the awesome new stuff coming out.
Re: LAUNCH PARTY
I am so close to a complete set, but at these prices it is going to cost a lot. Gotta win the lottery or something...

Re: LAUNCH PARTY
A few months back I got Midnight Jack off the Bay for about $200. I think this one will hit $400. Crazy how much they have gone up in such a short period of time.

my exact situation with kaijus.
Re: LAUNCH PARTY
I think it's amazing that they aren't more expensive to begin with. The quality is on par with Coarse and 3A and they are a fraction of the cost. It's a true testament to Ferg's commitment to the fans.

Re: LAUNCH PARTY
it seems to me thats its only 2 or 3 guys with extremely deep pockets bidding against eachother.
i think once theyre done the averages will come back.
good timing dreamattack, hope you move in style

Re: LAUNCH PARTY
The issue is that they just don't come up for sale. There are at least five major bidders on the couple of rare ones I've got on the bay right now. That also doesn't include the offers and deals I've made outside of ebay with others. The truth is that if these were available from time to time they wouldn't command these kind of prices. There haven't been any for sale in so long that I couldn't guess how much to charge for them, which is why I went to ebay in the first place. I went to Expressobeans.com, and many of these older ones have commanded prices as high as these, but they never come up for sale. And the number of collectors grows with every release, particularly with the Brandt ones and with the retailer ones that bring in new collectors. So personally, I don't think it's a matter of timing.

The best way to collect is to buy the occasional old piece while making sure you get the newer pieces at a drop price. If you really want an older toy bad enough and you keep collecting, sooner or later it will show up on eBay or here on the forums for a price you can afford.
Missing drops to pick up old pieces is a losing-game though since the price of most Squadts jumps by 50% as soon as the drop sells out. You might pass up a drop to pick up a grail only to find out that your new grail is the drop you just missed

a lot of wisdom there. +1
Re: LAUNCH PARTY
I totally agree. You have to keep up with new Squadt releases, or you will end up spending a lot down the road trying to pick those up in the aftermarket.
