How goes it. Well as most of you well know every week or two I have a new custom on ebay. I actually got the idea from one of you all here. I hope you guys like it. I don't think the pics do it justice, cause I just love it. One of the hardest to part with. That's why I'm starting it out so high. If I can't get at least 60.00 I'm just keeping it. cgi.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260150612067&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=016 |

my ing god 60 bucks for 1 custom wtf I've seen lesser customs (imo) go for a lot more . . . .but then again I've seen great customs go for way too little. Ebayers can be fickle . . . . go figure. I certainly hope it does well for you, madness, it's nice work! |

CSTT head with Thorne body. With a little paint? For 60 bucks. Hmmm. I am guessing you are charging so high because the TT taker is valueble?

Read his post. The price is almost too high on purpose. He likes it, so he doesn't want to just give it away, that's why the starting bid is so crazy. If he gets $60+ for it, it will be worth it to part with. If not, he has a nice piece for his collection. I see his point. I've done a lot of customs that could probably fetch a good price, but I wouldn't chance it to end up selling something for $5. I'd rather have it for myself.

60 bucks too high?! maybe but I have sold customs from $15.00-150.00. And as I said earlier if I can't get at least 60.00 I don't want to sell it. I guess to the people that think I am overcharging maybe your right but you obviously don't know what decent customs go for.

I talked to you earlier on Ebay, and I think it is fan_****ing_tastic. If you cant get what you want, who cares, keep i.
As for the this head, that body, and a little paint comment, you may know how to do customs, thus it is not a big deal to you, but for someone who needs that Undertaker to go with their classic Hogan and Flair, it could and should be worth that much.
He bought the paint, the figures, and invested the time into not only this figure, but all the figures he messed up learning how to do it. You have to take all those things into account.
I hope it sells. I think it is a pretty awesome piece, reguardless of how simple it may be.

disregarding the ebay price which really is not the point here, i think this is a really nice piece of work. It may be simple but it is very effective.
well done

60 bucks?
wow.
For any of the old customizers, did Baity even charge that much?
And his customs were like real life works of art in action figure form..
Anyways it is okay, but the price is ridiculous..

Anyways it is okay, but the price is ridiculous.. Yeah, the reasoning for the high price was adequately covered I think . . . . If anything should have perhaps been done differently, it would be this: start the bidding out low and have the lowest price you'd take be your reserve. If the reserve isn't reached, then keep the fig for your collection. And I know I will most likely get blasted for this, but I think Baity was a tad over-rated . . . . no offense intended. |

wow, some pretty harsh remarks. Let me enlighten all you haters. Kevin Thorn, 10.00 undertaker and paul bear(he comes with the deal) 20.00. Paint, time, ebay fees, around 8-10.00. So I have around 40.00 bucks invested into this thing. As for 99.99 it's not unreasnable to think one person isn't going to snag it. So if 60.00 bucks is all I get for a 40.00 dollar figure I am the one getting the short end of the stick. For all you guy's that think I am nuts go look at the completed list's for customs. I have seen shitty customs go for 60.00 bucks all the time(a macho man sold last week that was shit) Get educated on custom prices before you tell me I am nuts.
