Hi Guys!
A fellow on another forum recommended I come here to sell my GI Joe collection from my childhood. I understand that I'm a brand new member here and sometimes you can be a bit leery of people like that selling big ticket items, but if you want a frame of reference my eBay user name is ussssgt and I also make purchases of Lego items on bricklink where my username is also Shpadoinkle. On to what I have! Here is the text copied and pasted from my ad in my local craigslist: "I am selling my childhood collection of GI vehicles and figures including the much-sought-after USS Flagg. You get all the GI Joe stuff you see in the pictures. This includes dozens of vehicles, tanks, planes, and boats. About two dozen figures, a few more partial figures, a pile of guns and missiles. Wherever possible I tried to reassemble the sets so they would look more complete, but I don't remember where all of the pieces go. You get the Rolling Thunder, the original GI Joe headquarters, another large base from the early 90s, and vehicles of all descriptions. About the USS Flagg. This is the big one. My birthday is in December and this was my birthday AND Christmas gift one year. This was a beloved toy but because it was so big and took up so much space I only have memories of it being set up twice. I have scrounged everywhere for parts and am pleased to say that it is 97% complete. I do have a modest list of missing parts that I'd be happy to share with serious buyers. But note: it includes the electronic PA system, the tail hook assembly, Admiral Keel Haul, and dozens of other pieces usually missing from other copies of this set. It even has about all of its deck pins (though some are still in their slots on the deck.) And, AND!!! The box! The box is in rough shape, worn around the edges and dented and ripped in a few places, but the artwork is still vibrant and the inserts are still inside. Heck, it even still has its flag points logo (I think it was worth 20, but I might be wrong.) Please note that the ship's wheel, (which is very fragile) has been broken. DISCLAIMER ABOUT CONDITION! PLEASE READ! These were my toys as a kid. I loved them, and played with them, and got them dirty, and sometimes they broke, and other times I lost a missile or part or helmet. There are parts missing. There are parts broken. There are dirty items (sometimes they went outside to fight in the sandbox...I know, how awful!) I was NOT a kid that could keep things new in box on a shelf. If you are looking for mint display pieces, move along. But if you are looking for a massive lot of several AWESOME GI Joe sets that you wouldn't cringe about playing with along with your kids (or by yourself, I don't judge) then this is for you. One item of damage I did note was Destro's velvet cape was chewed through by a mouse (the jerk!) I did clean each piece of the USS Flagg but the other vehicles could likely use a good rub down with some diluted vinegar or maybe just some water. I am selling this as a lot ONLY. If you email me asking whether I'll break it up I WILL copy and paste this part of the ad as a reply to you message (yes, even this part.) I am willing to meet within a 70 mile radius of Charlotte to make this transaction. That includes Flint, Grand Rapids, Brighton, Kalamazoo, etc. Or you can come pick it up, that's cool too. Am I interested in trades? Maybe! I am a Lego collector. Mostly these days I'm into the expensive exclusives that you can only get directly from Lego or from other online retailers. These sets usually start with a call number of 10xxx. These sets can often be quite expensive and depending on what you have it may defray some or all of the cost of this lot. I'd LOVE to talk with you about a trade if you have something cool from Lego. You can email me at [email protected] about this or text at 517-three zero three-3609 Thanks for looking!" Here is a link to the ad with all the pictures: HUGE lot of GI Joe including USS FLAGG As the ad says above I'm preferring to do this relatively locally as the sheer quantity of stuff will be a massive headache to ship, though I am willing to drive around 70 miles to meet up. Also, please email (or even text) me if you're interested. I don't know how often I'd be able to check back on this forum. At any rate, thanks for looking, and for letting me post on your wonderful forum! Dan Last edited by Shpadoinkle; 11-26-2013 at 04:53 PM.. |
