Biography
Early on when Crave was getting started Erin contacted me about selling. Everyone at Crave has been so helpful and I have sold quite a few items almost all G1 and some G2. I try to treat my customers right and have detailed descriptions and good pictures so you know what you are getting. I try to give buyers better than Ebay prices for buy it now options. If you ask me in advance I will set up special shipping when you buy multiple items--just message me.
How I roll: I love garage sales, craigslist, and I also try to buy mid sized lots off Ebay. I clean, fix, and complete figures as much as I can. For me the joy comes from saving something that was misplaced or abused. I can't tell you how many times I've taken two figures and made one really nice. In this way I feel I'm preserving a little bit of history, part of my childhood, and giving collectors great value.
History with transformers: I had a few mini-bots and select figures from the 1st and 2nd wave G1 in 4th grade & 5th grade. I had no interest in G2 or RID I liked the Beast Wars show but didn't collect. Then as my son got to be about 6 I let him watch some Voltron on Hulu. I thought he would love to have one of the old toys I had so I went to Ebay and lo and behold you could find all kinds of stuff. I bought a lot of Craigslist about a year ago and have been hard at it ever since collecting the old stuff. I also make a few customs mainly to take a G1 and style it more like the cartoon figure.
So there you have it. This is a fun hobby and Crave is one of my primary enablers. I sell under Cash1974 on Ebay but I always list here first. I'm not real active on the forums but you might also find me under "Captian_Cash" this is a basketball nickname.
