Nice figures!
Grim tone.
Sorry to hear you are getting out so thoroughly.

Just the selling part of it, Les. Clearing the decks.

That 9" Hasbro TV Batman is pretty cool.
Curious why you opted to keep the bidders IDs private? That usually signals a red flag for many potential bidders including myself. Not in a case where I know the seller but in general it gives the feeling of something to hide.

AAAArrrrggghhh!
Well, I disagree about the 'red flag' There are plenty of reasons to not display the bidder's names, especially on custom pieces.
HOWEVER - I had no intention this time of even doing that and didn't realize it until you pointed it out. I just cut and pasted new pics and descriptions into some older auctions and didn't even realize it has a private status going. Thanks for the catch, Will. I have revised the two auctions that had no bids. The other 2 will just have to ride it out or cancel and repost.
Thanks Will.

I do not understand a private auction,... & why would it throw up a red flag for another bidder ?  |

A "private auction" is one where bidders cannot see the identities of other bidders on an item.
It could send up a "red flag" if the seller didn't have good feedback or had less than 5 feedback points etc. meaning that the seller was somehow using a schill bidder to bid things up.
However - in the case of customs, sometimes buyers feel just as vulnerable to copyright problems as the sellers do and they often feel safer bidding on something where you can't see their user name.
As a seller, the main reason I USED to run private auctions is because other unscrupulous sellers would email my high bidders to try to sell them the same thing I was selling for a few dollars less. It's against ebay rules but it happens all the time.
