Last year I sold all my Marvel stuff. I knew that sooner or later I'd need at least one of them for customs. Sure enough, that day has come.
Does anybody have access to a Mary Jane figure from the first Spider-Man movie line? All my usual sources are dry. There is the occasional one on eBay at a reasonable price, but shipping appears to be the new definition of greed. (It does not cost $8+ to ship this one little figure.)
I'd gladly cover all costs incured, either through payment or trade. If you think you can help, please let me know via casimir@pilliod.net

Sorry Cas, I wish I could help ya out. Just wanted to comment on the shipping charges on ebay. A while ago I bought a first addition Animated series Batmobile on ebay. AS to why I never bought it when it was in stores is still a mystery to me. Anyways I think I won the auction for 38 or something, MIB ofcourse. I emailed him for the shipping charges & he said it cost 30 buck for shipping. I told him that was insaine. He claimed he never sold something on ebay that size before & did not know how much something like that would cost. He then went on to say he would remburst me the difference, so I sent him the cash. 2 weeks later it came, in a crushed box, with a shipping price of 3.86 on it. Man, no difference no nothing. Ebay is full of greed! Good luck to you on the Mary Jane.  |

Sorry to hear that Black Knight. I've experienced that myself. I won't even bid on something unless I know what they charge for shipping, and only then if it's reasonable.
The sellers are definitly responsible for this, but it's also eBay and PayPal's fault. Their cuts keep getting bigger and bigger, especially if you use both. I rarely sell anything anymore myself because after they take their cut, I'm not left with much. Seems they may be pricing themselves out of existence.

Wow. Bad story all around.
I had seen the Mary Jane way back when and I was going to turn her into a Claudia for my Interview with the Vampire set. However, I never got her. If I see one (or two) I'll definately let you know!

Actually, all is well. I found one on eBay cheap a week or so ago. (I should have said so here.) Thanks for looking, though.
