nooo =(

Postby **NightmareMermaid** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:30 pm

I had literally just refreshed the page to see Oogie and as soon as I clicked on his page he was already sold. Talk about fast.

He said the website will be cheaper than eBay, maybe you guys will be getting them for less than $25 when he begins selling them when he told everyone...

I thought he said that, I'm gonna wait till tomorrow to buy anything.

Postby **HobieWanKenobi** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:33 pm

I think what he said was that what he will be charging would be less than the current eBay prices on other listings, not referring to his own pricing.

Postby **DocRamon** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:34 pm

the $25 includes shipping... he's only offering free shipping through the actual gemini site, so most will be $15 on the site tomorrow. looks like oogie's gonna be $28?

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:35 pm

Pretty sure he said most, except for the 3 or so he mentioned, would be at con prices

Postby **NightmareMermaid** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:36 pm

I believe he was just referring to the three he mentioned: Sorcerer Mickey and Chernabog, Oogie Boogie, and Sulley and Boo.

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:37 pm

Right now his auctions do include free shipping

Postby **iGannon87** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:37 pm

I was one that got a Zombie

... which, if it's cheaper tomorrow on the site.. oh well. At least I have it! It's my absolute favorite. I couldn't let it have a chance of getting away.

I turned around to get a Loki and it vanished. :\

Sorry guys, I just saw this and wanted to help the community.

but he's factoring shipping into the cost. that's just how he does it on ebay. look at last year's exclusives. on the gemini site, they're $15 + shipping. on ebay, they're $25 with free shipping.

the expectation, i'd think, is that tomorrow on gemini, this year's bunch will be $15 still, but with the free shipping deal. so waiting until tomorrow saves you $10 per figure, basically.

That seems to include shipping under the guise of free shipping, pops that are on his site that sell for 15 bucks there are usually 24.99 with free shipping on ebay. Just makes things sell better when you see free shipping up there on ebay.

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:41 pm

So the question is, will they be 15 tomorrow? 20? 25?

Postby **NightmareMermaid** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:41 pm

Don't be sorry. I think most of us are waiting until tomorrow anyway. I know I am. Another Oogie and Loki just popped up.

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:42 pm

Got it

Postby **felfelcat** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:43 pm

this is so exciting to watch!!

Postby **Batman1987** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:45 pm

Ahhhh!!! Missed it. Damn flippers.

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:46 pm

I am sure it is not "flippers' at this point

I wanna buy something, but would kick myself if they are priced at 15 tomorrow...

This is exactly why I'm not. I'm trying to exercise patience, but it's reallly hard.

Postby **DocRamon** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:49 pm

yeah, i'd think all the flippers... are probably at sdcc right now, right?

there's really not anything to lose by waiting until tomorrow. steve's not gonna sell through his entire stock tonight on ebay when he's added nothing to his own site yet. just be ready tomorrow and make sure you snag the ones you want most first.

Postby **yellowrice** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:51 pm

If you guys feel the need to jump the gun, by all means go ahead. I plan on waiting till tomorrow.

You would like that, wouldn't you? ;-)

Why wouldn't he want to sell them all at $10 more per piece?

Biggs and Maul just went up, and got snatched instantly.

You might be playing with fire by waiting...just saying.

Postby **NightmareMermaid** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:57 pm

I think it will be okay until tomorrow. Two Oogies sold right away, but the third one that was put up has been up for ten minutes now and no one has bought it. Things are probably going to slow down on eBay once at least a couple of each have been sold.

Postby **NightmareMermaid** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:58 pm

Oops I spoke too soon. The 3rd Oogie just sold.

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 9:59 pm

Argh don't just...don't

Postby **NightmareMermaid** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:01 pm

The Muppets are up. I still don't get why there are two identical Snowths. Can someone explain this to me?

Postby **HobieWanKenobi** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:01 pm

I think if you were to buy one now, then buy one tomorrow at a lower price, you wouldn't have any problem whatsoever selling one off at the higher price...or possibly even a little more.

But, patience is a virtue.

Postby **DocRamon** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:03 pm

batman shirt sheldon went up... those seem to be 1000 pieces, so anyone after those should have no issue.

Postby **HobieWanKenobi** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:06 pm

Batman, Mickey / Chernabog...sold.

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:08 pm

Wonder how much the 9 inch Sulley will be tomorrow? 60? 70?

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:09 pm

That is a good price of the set of Ugly Dolls

Postby **NightmareMermaid** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:14 pm

Sulley/Boo is up and just sold for $105.

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:15 pm

So they will be what? $80 tomorrow?

Postby **NightmareMermaid** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:15 pm

I don't know. It's hard to say. Hopefully no more than what you're guessing.

Postby **NightmareMermaid** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:16 pm

Blue Mickey is up for $100. He looks great. Why do I always have to want the most expensive ones? Lol.

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 11, 2012 10:17 pm

I would pay no more than 70 myself
