  This last week I received one of my childhood toys in the mail. It was the 24″ tall Mattel Shogun Warriors Raydeen. The proper spelling, from the animated show, is Raideen and that is how I’ll be referring to the figure. I couldn’t believe the condition that it was in. There are more than […]
  I hear and read those words far too often. Next to the over used âRAREâ attached to everything on eBay, the phrase âWhatâs it worth?â is my number two pet peeve of collecting. Over the years, I have collected, sold, re-bought, flipped, and re-re-bought so many things. People would ask me how much something they […]
  Try to avoid checking out the sorting method âTime Ending Soonestâ first in your item searches. You will feel less pressure to bid in haste if you check out the âNewly Listedâ items first. Sometimes you can find some great (buy it now) deals that you would normally miss by getting caught up in some emotionally charged, last moment bidding war.

  Have you ever noticed the crazy listings on Ebay. For example I found a Luke Skywalker (1978) in HORRIBLE condition. The seller wanted a starting bid of $40 (US). $40? Is all that Yellowing actually Gold?   What a piece of Junk. I wouldnât even pay point five past $8.99 for this. Now, to […]
  This really gets old for me when I am out and about or surfing for bargains⌠Just because something is more than âXâ years old and is from brand âYâ does not automatically make it worth âZâ. Honestly, weâve all seen this at some point in our travels.   Something catches our eye, we pick it up and examine it […]
