Sorry to anyone who saw this and wanted to bid on it. I found it via wwf hasbro search and i had to have it. Literally i started to pee myself at an increased rate with every scroll of the mouse as i browsed the pictures. Me and the seller made a deal and ended the auction early. cgi.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360214019065&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT First pic, nothing special, even though us hasbro freaks love to use these early bca titles for our hasbros. Second pic, some foreign cards, a nice andre, US slaughter. Third pic: Ok here we go, now we're cooking with some fire. US earthquake, demo tag set with a small rip, US Berzerker. Fourth pic: UH OH, theres the big DOG, Dusty MOC , looks to be in great shape. Already the lot IS AMAZING. Fifth pic: Nice US typhoon, Razor, Macho series 1 foreign. Sixth pic: Can the lot get any better?? YES IT DOES. A hogan mail away! I just thought this was a once in a lifetime lot. I never had a dusty MOC, i might actually keep it. I dont want a full set, i'd be happy with a bret hart #2 moc and the dusty.

I remember that series with Goldust being out in shops....didn't pick them up at the time as "they weren't Hasbros" - probably should have!

We settled for $250. He was actually a consignment shop selling for someone else. he said the consignor accepts your offer. I thought it was a good deal EVEN worst case scenario that the dusty is dinged up, demo has more than that small rip, and the hogan mail away is loose. So i was kinda trying to avoid losses before i knew what i got.
OH, and can you believe i actually GAVE AWAY for FREE a mannix diesel head to one of my customers last week. It was his most favorite of all the free gifts i gave him! Like i said, i take care of ALL my customers. That figure sold for $33 the other day on ebay UK. WOW. If i only knew, i would have bought a 1000 mannix figures at the dollar store!!! BK

where is papa shangos necklace? Behind him, by the left shoulder. That's where they always are on him. You can see the bottom if you look closely.

Great find! Reminds of the good ol' days at flea markets, finding incredible deals early in the morning...even worse when you're face to face with that person and they pull out a mint on card Dusty Rhodes and are only selling it for $5. I worked at an EBay store for a while, I came across some great items that we turned away...of course thats when I went out to the parking lot and offered the guy $10 for it...I got some really good deals there.

So does everyone just take the deals and re-list them all or are they collectors ? Just curious .

Im glad to say that i am a hardcore collector and seller. No one in their right mind would be ignorant to the fact that WWF Hasbro's have incredibly high re-sale values. Say what you will about buying and reselling. Thats not actually the reason i got into selling them. Ill keep this short... While buying my complete mint loose set, I couldn't tell you how many times I was going through ABSOLUTE junk figures. I was WASTING my money. I would buy an undertaker, with a BEAUTIFUL photo, completely mint!!! When it arrived at my house, his gloves were almost 100% flesh colored, paint loss all over the place! A complete piece of GARBAGE! You got clowns out their using stock photos!! I paid almost 20 dollars for that undertaker 2! And it was a piece of junk. I emailed the seller, and got a response like, "Well, thats a rare figure, it sells for $50 mint with the coat." So what that means is that he used a stock photo of a mint figure, affixed the price to reflect the fact that it was a damaged, worn, used figure. The seller tried to defend himself on it! He actually thought he was right in the fact that he was selling a piece of garbage figure with paint loss because it was RARE, and he used a stock photo on top of that. Another time i bought a roddy piper with a stock photo. Again a picture of a COMPLETELY mint figure, and what came in the mail?!?! A used, old, nasty roddy piper, with the logo almost COMPLETELY worn off! Third instance, i need a mountie loose figure. I write the seller an email, asking him to describe the condition a bit more. Asking him for any noticeable paint loss, broken action moves. Do you know what he writes back?? "I have so many, it's just a $4 figure." OH really....just $4 right. NO MY FREIND, ITS NOT JUST 4$!! Its not the $4 for a roddy piper or 99 cents for a bossman 1, it's about the love and care you take in what you do that matters. Am i the only one who cares about being ripped off on a 99cent figure? Call me crazy then. And thats when it just clicked, like a dang light bulb, it came on bright as the sun. I wasn't even in to selling before i came onto this board a couple of years ago. I came onto this board for my LOVE, APPRECIATION, DEDICATION to WWF Hasbro figures. I saw that almost everyone on these boards shared the same kind of love and enthusiasm for the wonderful toys i used to collect when i was a child, and the love that continued into my adulthood. So now here i am, PROBABLY the NUMBER 1 SELLER of WWF Hasbro figures ON ALL OF EBAY IN THE WORLD! Im not talking quantity per say, IM TALKING QUALITY. Quantity, i'm no match for some people. Thats right, the quality of my reviews, condition overviews, enthusiasm and love for the hobby! I figured, dang, i ran into a lot of JERKS on ebay. People that don't really care about wwf hasbros AT ALL! Most of the people in it to make a quick buck. They wouldn't even service me!!! Like what, they don't know that everyone who buys is a Hasbro FAN??? Like im not going to buy from them again if i like what i got from them!! What, i only need 1 Hasbro figure??? So i figured, let me do this. I love them. I care about them, and i care about my customers. No wait, not customers, FELLOW COLLECTORS. An unspoken fraternity, my brothers. And now, 8 months into heavy selling, my reputation SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. My list of customers IS UNMATCHED! From hasbromaster to cdp to the guy who bought just one. I have people who live in JERSEY, MEETING ME FOR PICKUPS!!(A shot-out to my boy Dave, if you're reading, please join and share, we'd love to see your collection) Its like a virtual STORE! More than 50% of my customers are overseas! Why buy from me you say, because i CARE, because i take care of what i sell, because I give EVERYTHING to my customers. I have guys that only collect c-10 EVERYTHING, loose or MOC! i have guys who think c-10 is some kind of vegetable drink! But does that give me the right to cut corners? Use stock photos, and in the description of my auctions put 5 words, like "rare and collectible now." NO way! Ill continue to review every square inch of everything i sell! Every paint speck, every loose arm, every fissure in a MOC, every bend, every j-hook, every corner, every glob of price sticker glue. Ill never use a stock photo, and ill NEVER sacrifice the way i ship things so meticulously and neat, no matter who the buyer is. Oh, and i can't forget the time i got a MOC hasbro in a bubble mailer.....i'll never forget that one. WHY? Because i care, about my customers and the hobby, and i want them back for more. I can't tell you the LIST OF CLOWNS on ebay, some of them are members of this BOARD! I won't even name them, ill keep their secrets hidden, because I DON'T fear them. No one is a match for me. I actually encourage them to give me some competition. In all actuality though, it'll never happen, because it'll take too much time for them. And when it takes too much time to do something you don't care about, its not going to be productive for them anymore.
So to answer your question, yes i sell, but i also collect. I have standards too, there is stuff that i cannot sell. Figures that will rot away in my basement forever. Because i cannot assume who it buying what. Mr. C-10 mint loose, or Mr customizer, or Mr. practical joke/gag present giver. And when you buy FROM A COLLECTOR TO A COLLECTOR, nothing can go wrong.
Thanks BK
