[palitoy]

I live an hour or so from Hamilton and saturate every collector store and toy show in that area. I also have a pal who must go to every toy show within 200 km of the region who leaves cards everywhere.

It's not surprising folks get doubles living there.

[toys2cool]

wow it's by $41,let's see how high it goes for

[MegoScott]

Yeah, but he doesn't have a Spidey, Superman or Wonder Woman...haha LOSER.

Sigh. Why would RebelToys want them? Doesn't he have enuff Mego connections to get some?

[MegoSteve]

Look in the past auctions for something truly horrifying. Someone's been listing them one at a time and getting $20+ each for the Treks. Highest so far that I've seen was around $40 for the Supergirl error.

There's one specific seller that's probably made $200-300 this past month selling these free cards.

It's nuts.

[MegoScott]

Fine. I'll pay 40 cents to list this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180128675867

[palitoy]

I almost bid on that just to be an idiot.

[sieve fisted find]

:grin::smiley1::smiley1:

[dumbldor]

Can I suggest - one of the administrators or moderators create a new sticky thread in Mego Marketplace for trading cards. Then post a link to the new thread in the 'auction'.

[MegoScott]

If we could throw one of these up everytime someone lists cards for sale so it follows their item that'd go a long way to stopping this.

[MegoSteve]

It wouldn't surprise me to see it yanked lickety split when the promo card sellers complain, since there isn't an actual item for sale.

I don't know what the fee would be, but maybe instead you should do a fixed-price Dutch auction for a penny each or something so eBay wouldn't be able to close it. Of course, then you'd be crossing into 'selling an unlicensed item' territory.

What a pain.

[Marvelmania]

$178!!!!! Unreal.

[sieve fisted find]

Holy Cats!!!

[MegoScott]

***? the same guy that paid 21 for a klingon and 40 for a supergirl?

I'm depressed.

[Mikey]

Wow wee !!!!!!!!!

Scott, I said it before and i'll say it again.

Take this as a complement on your artistc abilities.

People-- and not just Museum people LOVE your cards.

[MegoScott]

Thanks, Mike, but I'll take the $178 if it's all the same. The love doesn't pay my electric bill.

[The Sentry]

AWESOME! Making money on something that clearly states on the back of the friggin' things "Not for sale" really sucks!
Promotion! Making money off of that really puts me off.

But, for the record I didn't know there was a Conan! Anyone got an extra? I shure would like to have that one real bad! It would look good with my Doll! Thanks! :sunny_y::wink_y::grin:

[palitoy]

Wow, I feel so weird about this.

Quote from the guy who prints these things:

I'm saving an uncut sheet next time!!

I've only asked him every time for such an animal, I bet you he remembers this time.

[Meule]

It's cool that people love these so much they'll pay crazy money to get them, but it's depressing that some dirtbag is making money off of Scott's hard work

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Wow. Now I have seen everything. $178 bucks. Listing that they are free on Ebay was a great idea.

[jemboy2004]

megoscott, I love your listing! Great idea.

There will always be someone trying to make money off of someone else's hard work. On the other hand you have to be proud that people like these so much.

I wonder if you could get in contact with ebay to tell them these were never intended to be sold and were to used to promote the MM. Would they even consider these items that couldn't be sold on ebay, if it was explained to them?

[mego boy CA]

Wow!! $178 bucks!
Big Thanks To those Members who hooked me up with free cards.
:2thumbsup:

[MegoScott]

Well, you know, there's a market for promotional cards, they aren't really doing anything wrong, just something we don't like and is a bitter irony. There's no easy answer to this issue--they are kind of hard to get, it's tempting to just buy them if you don't want to deal with coming here and asking for them and playing the social game. And because we do discourage their sale it makes the few that are on eBay even more of a commodity with supply and demand...

Argh.

[JDeRouen]

People buy and sell everything, and this is no different. It is a little disconcerting, but there's not a lot we can do about it other than to continue to give them away for free and enjoy the publicity it brings the Museum - which was, after all, the original point of the cards.

(Running off to list a Supergirl error card on eBay... whistle...) :)

[English Paul]

Check out the `big red` wording in my auction below. Maybe this will get the word out as well if we all try to do similar.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250126872899&rd=1&rd=1

[Wolverine1969]

That's something alright.

[Evel KMego]

Your listing is classic Scott! Nothing like a little jab at the sellers.

[MegoScott]

Well, as expected, they cancelled the auctions. I think we can continue to discourage them within real auctions, though.

[Mikey]

Well, they wont let you give them away for free, but they'll let you sell them.

I think that's telling you something, Scott ...

Put a set on :grin:

[toys2cool]

I'm serious man,if other people will make money off it,why not you guys,$178 = a nice couple of loose figures ;)

or since you guys are always trying to raise money for this site(we all know how much you guys put in to this),why not sell them for that?

[The Bat]

So...You Guy's will get mad at Me if I sell some? I could use $178.00 bucks!:cry:

[Meule]

So...You Guy's will get mad at Me if I sell some? I could use $178.00 bucks!:cry:

You'll have to find 'em somewhere else

[SUPERUNDERDOGGIE]

I second the compliment to Scott.....the cards are awesome and I'm not surprised they are selling so well.

You da man!

[The Bat]

You'll have to find 'em somewhere else


Yes...but at that price, it's so tempting! A Man could trade Card's...for REAL Mego's...like maybe a MOC Superman or something? I really see no difference in selling Card's...or making someone a Custom Figure...then having them turn around, and sell it at some point...later down the Road. Once You Mail it away...You have to let go.:confused2:


I've NEVER had custom's made for Me...with the intention of selling it right away! But I have sold a few I no longer wanted...or had made a newer version's of.

[ramsey37]

I think that it would just be a matter of time before we brought the wrath of Marvel, DC, and Paramount Pictures down on our collective heads if the Mego Museum is seen as sanctioning the selling of these cards. Making them to give away might be cool from a legal standpoint, but selling them is sure be seen as copyright infringement.
George

[Earth 2 Chris]

What George said. If you like or love the museum, don't sell these! It violates the spirit of the cards (and the museum) and could get Scott, Brian and the whole Museum in trouble. No amount of money is worth that.

[Hulk]

Sure, someone could sell them, knowing that they received them from someone for free, with the expectation that they would not sell them either.

Then again, we might find out about it and decide not to ever trade or sell to them.

I could have hoarded the cards entrusted to me and possibly bought a new car with the profits (at some of these recent prices, I might have been looking for an RV). They are called Trading Cards for a reason though. They are supposed to be traded, and they were sent to people in that spirit. Violating that trust, and profiting off the backs of the people who made this community so great just doesn't sit well.

[dumbldor]

Mego Museum members sponsored these cards (i.e. paid for them) and also helped pay for them by donating to the raffles. It would take some nerve to receive these for free and then turn around and sell them. Anyone who does that is on my blacklist for life, and I am very sure there are quite a few other members who would treat you similarly. Try me.

[MegoScott]

:juggleyes_y:

http://search.ebay.com/mego-museum_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQfromZR40

Grrrrrrr. So many auctions. Which should make the point that they AREN'T RARE. The $178 was a fluke, if you all went and sold them you'd not get very much for them but a bunch of trouble.

[The Bat]

Well...thank You Guy's for anwsering My question. Honestly...I haven't been following the whole Mego Card thing that closely(sorry, no offence Scott). I mean, I have some that Member's have given Me for free...but haven't gone out of My way to find any...or complete the Collection.

Now that You Guy's have made it clear how much these Thing's mean to You all...I promise, that I WILL NOT sell Them.

And THREAT'S...are uncalled for, not to mention down right rude.:wink_y:

[dumbldor]

And THREAT'S...are uncalled for, not to mention down right rude.:wink_y:

You mean threats? Do you collect Mego's? It's not a threat, it's a promise, not just to you, but to all members.

I don't care if you think it's rude that I am stating that I will write anybody off who sells these cards. Selling something that is a gift from the Mego Museum and its members to the Mego community and to potential new members is despicable and morally wrong. It's a great way to lose friends, and it will start right here with me. :yeah:

[The Bat]

Obviously...I'm showing My ignorance about these Mego Card's. But what I'm saying to You is...it would have been possible to explain this to Me...without Threatening, and being a Jerk about! I don't plan on selling Them...but if just by asking the question, I've lost You as a Friend...then I feel it's no loss.

[The Sentry]

You mean threats? Do you collect Mego's? It's not a threat, it's a promise, not just to you, but to all members.

I don't care if you think it's rude that I am stating that I will write anybody off who sells these cards.

As you can see my display pic on Myspace is the Hulk Mego card! I cherish mine all 3 of them I have (I'm expecting more in the mail:wink_y:) I couldn't sell them it would be like selling my Megos I've spent so much time and effort restoring and the whole point of getting them is KEEPING THEM! I totally agree with dumbldor, Yeah the money may be good but you are totally taking advantage of a beautiful and special gift from a very select fraternity. I have seen that alot sonce I've been posting here. I couldn't take advantage of that, I've waited far too long to meet a wonderful group of people that respect each other as much as you fellas/ladies do.

to do that is just the same as slapping them in the face and tearing open vintage figures from the cards! Well, it's the same to me.

As I say again I cherish every single card I have and the ones I will get just as much as my little fellows! Selling cards is asking for trouble and bringing alot of uneeded a**holes (I.E. Marvel D.C. Paramount, WB etc.) around sniffing and possibly fining the whole lot!

I don't put it past these big compaines,

to quote a fellow megoposter here "I guess when you have so much money, your next goal is to get ALL the money, so you come after poor dumb grown up dolly collectors."

So I think we should find out who these jackasses are and stop hooking them up with "OUR" cards! I put me in this cause I am a very fortunate man for having the 3 I do have! :yeah:

[The Bat]

Thank You Sentry, well put...I get it now.:wink_y:

[dumbldor]

There was no threat, just a warning and a promise. I think you personally understand from my posts and the posts of others how serious it would be taken if anyone here sold these cards. I never said you would lose me as a friend by just asking the question. What I wrote was:

Anyone who does that (i.e. sells the cards) is on my blacklist for life, and I am very sure there are quite a few other members who would treat you similarly. Try me.

If you understand the issue and aren't planning to sell the cards, which you have made clear now, then my warning was not relevant to you personally. Thank you for taking the time to understand the issues and feelings involved.

[The Sentry]

Thank You Sentry, well put...I get now.:wink_y:

No problem bro, just taking up for my fellow mates and keeping the "chicken hawks" broke!

So if you ever need some I would hit the offical thread for the Megomuseum cards and ask around you'll see that these people are very giving with their wonderful cards! (just last week I got 2 from the last Megomeet and they are f*****g awesome!) So do what I do be very proud of these wonderful cards! I love them as much as my actual Megos that they flagship on each card!

[The Toyroom]

Mego Museum members sponsored these cards (i.e. paid for them) and also helped pay for them by donating to the raffles. It would take some nerve to receive these for free and then turn around and sell them.

As the sponsor of a couple of cards I totally agree...:yeah:

It sucks that people are snatching these up by the bundle at shows and making a profit but I suppose it's the nature of the beast. Hopefully the cards will still do their job no matter how they're acquired and steer potential Mego colllectors toward the Museum.

[Mikey]

Guys, up to now, the very thought of a Museum person selling the cards on ebay is just a hypothetical what-if scenario that will never happen.

I suggest nobody get mad at one another for something either of them didn't-- or don't plan to-- do :)

[dumbldor]

Oh, I don't think anyone is mad, and we all seem to be on the same page. It's all good.

[The Bat]

Oh, I don't think anyone is mad, and we all seem to be on the same page. It's all good.


Well...Me Irish temper did start flare up a bit when I felt was being Threatened! But Honestly...I'm just trying to understand the Mego Museum Card Phenomena($178.00??????). Up until a few Month's ago...I didn't really know what They were. Then some Our Boy's that I'd placed order's with...sent Me some.Thanks Paul & Austin, and Joe!

[jemboy2004]

I was thinking we could find out who is selling by buying items from these sellers that are sold cheaply and then by posting on a place that only members who have access to the cards, Like the sponsors or the dealers who get alot to send out with orders or anyone else who gets a bunch sent to them to give away for free so you would know what names and addresses not to send the cards too..

although that could be a bit of work and a hassle too. Although we could all come up with new ebay id's and bid but never pay for them. They would have a real hassle having to keep asking for FVF from ebay and all that contacting us to pay for their auctions. We would then know who and where they were from and be able to alert everyone here who they are. We would also have their emails as well as names and addresses. I know that is bit of a hassle too....

[Randy]

Just goes to show that money is EVIL!!

Someone always has to ruin something great in the pursuit of the all mighty dollar!

The evildoers must be stopped and the rest of us m ...u...s..t no..t gi.v.e.. into temp....ta...t..i..o.n.... fight it!!!
:yuk:

[dumbldor]

Dane, PM me your shipping address and I'll drop some Mego Museum cards in the mail for you.

[The Bat]

Dane, PM me your shipping address and I'll drop some Mego Museum cards in the mail for you.


You'd really do that? I don't what to say.:embarassed:

[dumbldor]

Of course I would. The Mego gods rained cards down upon me, so I still have quite a few duplicates. I will set you up nicely.

[txteach]

I sponsored a card and give away my extras. I am like Dan, anyone who sold them I'd personally not associate with any more. I'd hate to do it but it would be a slap in the face to Scott and Brian and everyone else here who loves and wants to promote this site. On the back of the cards it states "For promotional us only" so that is how I use them, to promote the site. I also would hate for Scott to get fed up and cancel any future cards.

[Wildstar]

You know what, (and again, I will be in the minority on this, if not the only one) I have never seen a bunch of grown men act like such girls~~

1st off it's not a slap in the face to anyone who helped create sponsor or had anything else to do with these cards~

it should be the greatest compliment of them all, that the peopel who created and had part of making these cards happen, made something so good that there is a secondary market for these items.

I personally congratulte, Scott, Joe, Palitoy and everyone who sponsored these cards. It was one of the most brillant things ever~

But come on stop your whining. Everytime these cards get posted on E-bay it is tons of free adverting of teh best king that Scott, Joe, Palitoy and everyone who sponsored these cards doesn't have to pay for~~ Which is priceless in itself~

So now when I am told the Mego Museum is teh 5th most visited site he web, These cards are a big reason along with thier free advertising.

Again for those of you who do not understand Mego Museum is getting free advertising everytime these cards are sold, hence new members, hence perhaps more people buying through the amazon banner, hence more items for the raffles, hence more people whio may buy museum exclusives in tehfuture and I am sur ethere will be some, hence the Dido display which didn;t happen but was a great idea.

So in the end the Museum wins and all members win~

If you so upset by some auctioning a set of cards, instead of crying here and making promises that in the grand sceam of things do not mean squat~~~~

Take the time to post a few cards with a buy it now of 99 cents, and state you now making any money from these cards just trying to promote teh museum, and give teh website address~~

This way you will stop the high prices of these cards on E-bay and again teh Museum wins~

If a guy runs an honest listing why wpuld you wantto interfere with his listing or his customer, that is just as morally wrong as some of you claim that selling the cards is wrong~~

The last I checked 2 wrongs don't make a right~

Agian I will be happy to lay out the big picture of this for people ho do not undertstand

this is not a repro rant, but it is ok for some sellers to sell some items but for other sellers it's wrong to sell other items~~

I said it beofre and I 'l say it again, If you wantcards that will not sell on E-bay, make cards of reprodution parts~ Card number #1 can be the batgirl belt~

Instead of complaing make a difference list a few cards on E-bay at 99 cents, and let people know they are free at the museum~~

Boo-Hoo-Hoo lets stop people from promoting the museum with honest lksting that they have no control over whatthe cards sell for on auction~~

Boo-Hoo-Hoo lets get together and complain~~

Boo-Hoo-Hoo Mego museum makes propbaly teh best set of cards Sports or non-sports to be issued in the last 10 years, and some poeple are surprised when they show up in teh secondary market~

ALL ITEMS THAT HAVE SECONDARY MARKET VALUE END UP ON E-BAY~

To clarify this long rant~~

CHEERS: TO ALL WHO HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THESE CARDS~~~
JEERS: TO ANYONE WHO JUST LIKES TO COMPLAIN AND ACNNOT SEE THE BIG PICTURE~

Let's get as many poeple as we can here~ Let's make this the site the 1st most vistied site on the web~ Who cares how they get here as long as they do~ THAN THEY CAN BE SHOWERED WITH FREE GIFTS~~~

If all the complainers each posted 3 cards on e-bay a month ther would probaly be 60- 90 cards a month~ that might bring in 10-15 new poeple a month~ BIG PICTURE~ BIG PICTURE

ANOTHER BRILLANT IDEA; All members should see cards on e-bay and scott should sell full sets on E-bay~ This way prices will never skyrocket and teh museum will get tons of promotion~ Feed the monster so much that it will become full and go away

The one the only~~~ Wildstar

[Marvelmania]

The selling of these cards also bring about unwanted attention from DC and Marvel. Which in turn can bring about an end to these cards. Even better than opsting a 99 cent auction these cards as you know are free and given away many times over on this site.
Further someone grabbing a stack of these FREE cards, hording the stack and then selling them when it clearly states on the back of each card"For promotional use only and not for sale" is also morally wrong.
As usual your post is only to lite a fire and create controversy. You sir are indeed a troll.

I'll whine all I want.

Don't tell me I should be flattered and see the big picture. I worked my *** off on those cards and I have every right to feel irritated when someone sells them and I don't see a dime. Should I be surprised that they get sold? No. Should I do something better with my time than create collectibles I can't profit from? Hell yes.

Do I still get to complain? Yeah, I do.

[English Paul]

You know what, (and again, I will be in the minority on this, if not the only one) ..........
1st off it's not a slap in the face to anyone who helped create sponsor or had anything else to do with these cards~



I think you are right about one thing, you are in the minority.

I see this as huge slap in the face to the sponsors and card creators. Their good will and generousity is been abused here. Yes, the whole purpose of the cards was to generate interest but that can be done through free distribution. Anybody making money off the back of somebody elses generousity is in my mind a thief.

Wildstar, I don`t know if you have been involved in the distribution of these cards, but I have sent quite a few out, some as trades, some just to get people started and knowing that somebody could be making money out of my kindness.......well, they might as well punch me, beat me, and steal my wallet - that is what we are talking about here......it`s like been mugged for the loose change in my pocket and that is wrong.

[palitoy]

Our site, our rules, we allow you to make points in the douchiest manner possible don't we?

[dumbldor]

John, there are so many things wrong with what you just posted, I don't know where to begin. I usually find your posts interesting and littered with good points (albeit abrasive and often condescending and trollish), but not this time.

The most important issue here in my mind is a MEMBER selling or even the suggestion of a MEMBER selling these cards when they were given to him or her free to pass on to promote the Museum. It is morally wrong, John, to sell something that was given as a gift in good faith that it would NOT BE SOLD. I don't give a crap about some guy on Ebay selling a few of these (although someone grabbing THE WHOLE STACK at a show and then selling them IS MORALLY WRONG when they were intended for EVERYONE AT THE SHOW). It is BLACK and WHITE (as all morals are, there is NO GRAY AREA) that selling these for PERSONAL GAIN when they were given as a gift and given to pass on FOR FREE to promote this site is 100% WRONG AND IMMORAL. ANY MEMBER SELLING THESE CARDS SHOULD BE TARRED AND FEATHERED AND SENT PACKING TO THE REJECT MEGO SITE PRONTO. I REALLY DON'T CARE IF SOME SENSATIONALIZER WHO GOES BY THE NAME WILDSTAR OR ANYONE ELSE DISAGREES WITH ME OR THINKS I AM WHINING. I STAND 100% BY WHAT I WROTE YESTERDAY AND NOTHING WILL CHANGE MY MIND. :)

[MegoScott]

I can't believe you'd spend all that time writing that long screed and not once think to yourself, "This is a really bad idea, I should stop writing and go outside and play."

Big Picture.

[JDeRouen]

Wildstar, while I do understand your point, your post came off as offensive, thoughtless, and ill-mannered.

Yes, having the cards on eBay it is good publicity for the Museum - but Marvel, DC, or Paramount seeing the cards and deciding to protect their copyrights would be bad publicity. More than likely, this won't happen, but the more they're out there, the better the chance.

Ultimately, though, no matter what, Scott and Brian created the cards and don't wish them to be sold, so we should honor that request. We can't control what happens outside the forums, (though we can work to influence it) but if a member were caught selling the cards, I think he or she would quickly be banned.

The cards were Brian's brainchild and Scott designed the cards and neither one wants them sold. You (general you, not directed solely at Wildstar) should respect that, period. Especially if you want them to continue making more!

Joe

[Wildstar]

You know what Guys~ I have only said this mabe 3 times in my life~

I was wrrrrrrrooooooo

No I really mean I was WWWWWWWWrrrroooooonnnnnnnnnn

Ok I was WRONG~

The last few posts really changed my point of view~~

English Paul's post was powerful and Tim arnold made a few good points~

But megoscott said it best while typing that post I thought maybe I should go out and play as I did think some if it was a bad idea~ But hey that was Wildstar being Wildstar~ Part of me thinks it is such a great idea that how these cards promote the museum, that I may have forgotten about some of teh other points in my quest to get my point across~

In all reality I guess this time there has to a middle gorund~

Yes someone taking cards in heeps is flat out wrong~

I completly see your points with Marvel and DC

So I do retract all statements made in my previous post~~

When I see megoscott and joe post about how much they against this, perhaps today I should just go outside and play~

Again i was wrong and I apologize~~

Yes Dan, you made valid points also~~~

The Apologetic Wildstar~~~

[JDeRouen]

Fair enough. I appreciate your stepping up. Now go enjoy your outside time! :)

Thanks, apology accepted. Now I'm going to go outside and play myself. There's only so much I can do to control the uncontrollable.

Here's 3 different banners to choose from to place in a Mego auction if you'd like to spread the word. This will be as effective as anything else.

Great banners!! How would we include them in a listing? Is it as simple as using `img` tags like on the forum or is it more complicated?

I'll post some html in megobuzz this afternoon guys. Really appreciate anyone who does this.

Not to downplay Joe's efforts but the ones I posted in buzz make the banner a clickable link to the museum forums. So what I'm saying is, they're better.:silly:

[English Paul]

Nope, not got it yet :cry: Do I cut and paste the text in? Does anything need changing? I am so bad at basic computer stuff sometimes.

[palitoy]

On the "edit html" side of an auction listing, you should be able to just cut and paste the text in.

[JDeRouen]

Brian, how dare you circumvent the three seconds I put into that HTML code!! :grin:

Actually, the reason I didn't make it clickable is because eBay has rules against it. I've had auctions removed for including clickable links. They probably won't notice, but it's a pain if they do.

I did not know that, never had a problem.

Maybe it doesn't apply to linking to forums/info about the cards. I've just been cautious after having a couple of auctions closed by them.

Worked for me too. Thanks for posting the banners.
