Re: [iminime] The Bad & The Ugly - Completing 'The Cowboy'

Strange is your logic.
It's obvious I've told them about it the first time I bring it up. I ask for their screen name at freaks and if they don't know about it, I inform them and suggest they join. Some don't care or don't have the time and some may have joined, but never care to follow up.

cool, cool.




On another note. It looks like Denny should look into selling on ebay.

Eh, that's a little risky. eBay is a huge site that could draw unwanted attention if runs started being offered through an IMINIME store on there.

I think Denny did once upon a time.

Sold. Paid for.

This made my Trio purchase a lot easier to swallow.

Keep in mind though that one of the huge draws of the DX is that head. With the increase in edition size, the regular head should actually lose some value now, but the DX is still at 35 or whatever, plus a couple apparently sent here or there to folks who got Trevor involved or what have you.

Sold. Paid for.

That is what I call a return on investment. Congrats Wake!

Hell, Omar; you could buy two trio sets, now. I guess we now know what that DX head is valued at.

Which would be how much?

Speaking of the new figures - has anyone preordered more than one Tuco? so tempting.

Well, the horse is going for about $130-$200, if I'm not mistaken, and the Blondies have been selling at $1K-$1.2K, so, with that in mind, if this set the precedent...damn. That's more than a BobbyC Joker sculpt with all the bells and whistles.

Assigning a going rate for any collectible based on a single sale might not be wise.

No, but I'll bet you'll see a lot of that mentality in the coming weeks. Same thing happened with the Rainman Wonka, if'n I'm not mistaken. Point being, starting prices will be higher than ever for folks that decide that they want a piece of that pie.

It always happens. The seller, "man_of_action_figures_inc" on ebay, is now asking 2500 BIN for a regular set. By the way, is he a freak? An online 1/6 business? He seems to have good access to iminime merchandise. And let it be clear that I don't mean anything negative by it. Good for him. I'm just curious if he/she is a member of this forum.

Re: [iminime] The Bad & The Ugly - Completing 'The Cowboy'

I will say that the winning bidder won by 88 cents. You read that right. That means he wasn't the only one willing to buy it at 3k. Also the third and fourth place bidders were at 2900 and 2400. So there's that.

He is a member. Although he doesn't frequent the boards often. However more importantly he is an authorized dealer who buys in bulk from CS/IMinime. He's smart. He stockpiles these hard to find releases and eventually someone buys them when they are desperate enough. More power to him. It's a great model and he's smart to recogniE the potential for earnings.

So at least $1600 for the DX sculpt?

That's crazy

He's on the forum, his monicker is Goat. He recently sold a DX for $1999, soon after he sold a normal set for $1999. So its not only the DX that's pulling prices.

Wake, are your setting up aftermarket auctions trying to pump up stock for this stuff? This isn't what an official/partnered iminime rep should be doing, don't ya think ! I mean what point are you so desperately trying to prove with regards to iminime product. Why are you so directly involved in aftermarket "gouging" when you have such a direct line to Iminine merchandise? What's to say you won't be "smart" as you say, stock up and sell goods that you have direct access to at exorbitant prices. Do I have to worry that I won't be able to get in demand Iminime products because there's a rep that controls product and will now decide behind the scenes to manufacture demand and use unfair pricing tactics?
That's very bad business and raises alot of red flags....are you a reseller or an OFFICIAL IMINIME representative?

It's one thing for someone to sell their property in the after-market, but how is this appropriate when you deal with customers information and control goods?
