Ebay True Life 40 year old Virgin story:

[TrueDave]

My best action figure collecting buddy turns 40 next month. I was doing a search for the figure I remember when "40 Year old Virgin " came out. I found this story on the way.

Anybody we know?
Real-Life 40-Year-Old Virgin Selling $35k Worth of Star Wars Action Figures on eBay

I hope he doesnt cry when he relises its not worth much

[huedell]

." In other words, he's dating a woman who runs a "Sell It On eBay"
store and he's selling it all so she'll finally sleep with him.

Going through 30,000 dollars worth of stuff for that?

I can guarantee it's at least "somewhat" easiier to get laid than that.

[toys2cool]

yeah that stuff doesn't even sell on ebay anymore and if it does it'll be for pennies on the dollar of what he payed

[Zemo]

That was from 2007 if you look at the comments. I wonder what he got?

[toystalker]

i feel sorry for him, hes blown a fortune on new star wars rubbish

you go to a store a buy a $20 doll and instantly its worth $5-$10 max

what a waste of money

if he got that much he should donate to kids who can rip the packages open and play with them

it will take a million years for that new stuff to make anything like that kind of value

i got sucked into buying up the the orange a green flash cards back in 95+ paid from £7-£15 each for them 10 years on i sold them for around £1 a go
toy fairs here at the time had tables stacked high with them

exciting at the time as i was just wound up to see star wars in the shops again but boy what a waste of time and money that was LOL

I never bought it in the first place. The first figures I remember seeing, looked like they were on steroids. Awful...

Glad you dumped yours at the right time, man. Timing is everything...

yeah I didn't like them either, I started liking the green cards though, they had some great characters on there...I ended up meeting a woman who worked for Kenner/Hasbro and she hooked it up with some cheap stuff like the AT-AT's for $10 in the box!! sold those for $100 each and the 12" Han and Tan tan's for $10 I admit it was fun for a while, maybe some day soon i'll get back into them since you could get a sweet deal

[Brue]

I see NO vintage stuff in the pics. He may have paid 35k for it but if he could get one fourth in return, i'd be suprised. To sel as a lot i would say it would go for 3500 but the truth is it probably won't sell at all as a lot which makes it worth exactly zero dollars and zero cents

I spent probably close to a thousand on assorted 90s star wars stuff (embarrassingly enough)

I have sold half of it for about $200. I have yet to find new homes for the rest of it.

bummer... yeah we all got caught up

is the 4th of july not coming up... have your self some friends over set off some fire works and light your self a fire LOL

[Toy Talk]

I have a lot of kids that could play with those toys, so I will pay him $100 for the lot, but he has to pay for shipping.

[huedell]

If I still lived in my childhood home, I'd be buying up that 90s SW stuff
(the 3 and 3/4th line) like the dickens... I just don't have the means to store
or display it! I love it tho' and dang if the PRICE isn't right!

[MegoMark71]

wonder what the guy ended up getting.

[TrueDave]

Sure he didnt get much but remember the "general public" still hears that a toy is a collectable and goes nuts thinking it's worth something.

Thats why I don't score at yard sales anymore :-(.

It's the guys hobby. I didnt like them picking on him.

I love that the best we can do is " Oops ! you picked the wrong line buddy!, but Don't feel bad I did too !"

Saw a guy on Yahoo news that had a 8 grand aq year Warcraft hobby. That was just in user fees not eqipment. His apartment looked like what the batcomputer would look like. If Wayne lived in a small apartment with no space.
