Where are you able to buy and sell custom action figures?
eBay is fast becoming "not an option" as many rights owners from I Love Lucy to Playboy are bringing the hammer down on sellers....(the hammer? suspension's and bans are being handed out!) So if I wanted to buy and sell custom action figures GI Joe and Non-GI Joe....where are some good places to check out?

This sounds similar to when they brought the hammer down on Transformers KO's a few years back. All the KO sellers moved to ecrater & ioffer. There is also Bonanza & Tfieds. I'm sure there are others.

Does it matter? I don't really see anyone getting what their work is worth. I mean come on, after eBay takes out their final value chunk, it's just a joke. No one is really willing/able to pay what most customs are worth. Try selling thoroughly worked over vehicle customs-good luck!

I make most of my money from Commission work. If you really want a custom contact a customizer who you admire directly and work something out.
I use e-bay only as advertising these days and even that is getting more and more risky. e-bay is quickly becoming a place not to use.

From a buyer point of view and someone who really respects customizers I hate E-Bay and PayPal for this matter.
Customizers do not get the money their customs are worth 90% of the time. Now that's just an economy thing, as people are used to paying little for their toys, but I think E-Bay and PayPal make things much worse for the seller. E-Bay fees, PayPal taking a percentage from the money you get. Total rip off. I just did my first payment to a customizer using Western Union. I think it's a good way to go. Cost me a little more, but the customizer gets 100% of the money which makes it a little easier for them to keep making them. To answer the OPs question. I haven't found many customizers that are as good as the ones you can find right here on the Tank, so check out the customs forums and contact them directly. Most are willing to work on comission or even sell you the ones they post here. |

My goal is to have a storefront which caters to customs and custom accessories......but advertising is expensive and eBay is...well... eBay.

The only good thing about ebay is they have a really good search engine. I can't find anything I'm looking for on any of the other sites. Other than that ebay & Paypal are complete scum.
