    Me too!

        Hey guys-

        Read all the comments here... and thanks, I do take them to heart.

        Tune in tomorrow night on Travel Channel. It's Mego Madness at its best. I have friend Mark Huckabone on the show with me, and we sell a very rare Mego prototype.

        This was an actual sale, not staged for the show... I hope you all tune in and watch.

        TOY HUNTER 9pm EST.

        Thanks again for letting me come here, and be a part of the forum.

            Hey folks-

            One more point I want to make about the show, since I hear so many people commenting on prices. These people are told exactly what I am going to sell the items for. I sit with them, and even research the items with them. There is a lot more than you see on screen... trust me. We film with these people for 14 hours... and it gets cut down.

            I am still in contact with everyone from Season 1. I call them when their show is on, and make sure they are happy with the final cut.

            And remember, I do pay high on stuff as well. I totally overpaid for the Superman puppet.. and trust me, it was a learning experience.

            I just hope you all stick around for Season 2, as well do have some great Mego finds in store.

            And for those who commented on me being annoying... I have heard you. I have taken comments to heart. Please remember... this show is made for the general audience. Here, we are collectors and have great experience with the products. However, on the show... producers want me to get "excited" and "have fun" with the toys. So, yes.. I do tend to over-do it a bit.

            Thanks again for watching,
            Sincerely,

              I don't see why anyone would have a problem with the show. Of course these are things most of us have all seen before, but to see it on television is another thing all together. I am looking forward to tomorrows show....on a side note I sent out a tweet some time ago wondering if they would do a episode based on Megos, and I got a fast response back to stay tuned that they had one coming up....so I suppose this is it.

                Jordan,

                Welcome. I have been enjoying the show. Compared to much of the dreck that is reality TV, it's a breath of fresh air. Don't tone down your enthusiasm for toys TOO much. I know some find it "annoying", but you come across as a likeable guy, and that is something we need more of on TV these days.

                I'm not just saying that because you are here. If you check this and other threads, I've said the same thing before.

                Looking forward to seeing more...and I'm still envious of you for finding all that good Bat-stuff on the show a few weeks back! I'd never seen the Mattel ride-on before.

                Oh, and what DID happen to your red-headed female assistant in that one episode? We all suspected that she was an add on to sweeten the deal, but has yet to return. Understandable if you can't go into such things.

                Chris

                    Welcome, Jordan!

                    I for one, enjoy your show.

                    No, not trying to kiss your butt or anything, I do like watching your show, lol.

                    Staged or not staged, it is television, so there should be a bit of drama involved...and I do like your enthusiasm...it comes across as genuine.

                    I have that Superman puppet, and I knew beforehand that you had indeed overpaid for it...but hey...that has happened to everyone of us at some point or another.

                    I have absolutely no issue with you buying cheap...and then selling for a profit...that's the name of the game.

                    Having said that...I'd rather sell at premium collector prices, than bargain ones...that's why I would never qualify to be on your show...lol.

                    Continue success...and keep on trucking!

                              Hey Jordan one quick question if you don't mind bro...I'm honestly a fan of the show so I gotta ask..In the pilot episode i noticed in the intro of the show...you had the Kenner Mask Stretch figures and some dude was asking the price..you said $120 each, I emailed you and asked if you still had them and you said yes but the price was $400 each

                              Did the prices go up because of the show and it's success? or do you price items differently at shows? sorry I'm not asking to be a pain in the butt or put you on the spot or anything..I'm just truly interested cause it's a toy I'd love to have..

                              Thanx man
