*****EDIT: A number of people have expressed interest, but I can tell that buying all at once is just too pricey for most. If I had the luxury of time, I would be glad to piece the collection out, but I really need to get these sold ASAP. I have gone ahead and listed the collection on ebay. If you would still like to make an outside deal, I would be happy to accomodate (no ebay fees would save us both a lot of money).

I know I've gotten in more than a few spats with people accusing me of being nothing more than a reseller, but I had some of my financial aid for college down-sized at the last minute and I need a pretty good chunk of change to cover it. These lithos are really the only thing I have to sell that could bring in enough money. I was planning to put them on ebay, but I'd rather they go to a collector instead of a reseller. I would greatly prefer to sell them as one lot, rather than piecing them out. I'm willing to give a sizable bulk-discount, but there is a certain figure that I cannot go beneath. I'd like to stay away from ebay (mostly because of the ~$200 final value fee), but I do have an account in excellent standing if you would prefer.

Mass Effect:
Citadel x2
Normandy x5
Jack
Tali
Omega
Collectors
Thane x2
Grunt x2
Wards
Korlus
Archangel
Miranda
Legion
Minuteman (in bad shape, you could probably get away with framing it and putting it far away from the viewer)
Team (full-sized, signed and numbered, but the edges were roughed up in shipping and you'd need a frame with a thick border to cover them up)

Dead Space:
Medical Deck x2
Aegis 7 x2
Advanced Suit x2
USG Ishimura x2

I have a nice 24x36 Itoya art portfolio that I will ship them in.

Despite me being shocked by the fact that you have 5 (!!!!!) Normandys to sell... thank you for the name of the art portfolio. I've been looking for a name to put into eBay and import for quite a while. (Big company so it's more common.)

At the moment, you'll probably won't get as much as earlier (say, before ME3's release) but good luck there if you really need it. (Me, I'd rather shift to canned Ravioli than selling my images off.)

Well thanks, I'm sure I'll take a big hit from what the market once was, I never anticipated having to sell more than a couple extras. Hopefully both sides end up happy in this transaction.

And the Itoya portfolios are great, just make sure to get the polypropelene ones instead of the plastic ones. I've found they are of much better quality and roughly the same price.

Sorry, but I doubt anyone would like to get 5 Normandys at once.

Well, obviously I would expect most people to resell the extras. Sell off 4 Normandys, a Citadel, Grunt/Thane, and whatever lithos you already have and you can recoup a good chunk of your purchase price.

The only reason I'm not piecing them out is because I have to meet a deadline. There is of course way more money to be had selling them all individually, but I need cash now and don't have that luxury.

As I stated in the PM I sent, I highly doubt anyone will buy them all. Even if they are a reseller or plan to sell the extras. While it may cost you more money to send them out individually, you will make more money selling them out individually and sell them much quicker than actually waiting for someone to buy them all. If you decide to sell them individually, you will probobly sell them all within 1 week.

Well, another problem is trying to find packaging for all of them individually. These things are a P.I.T.A. to ship even when you do have the original packaging. When you don't, it's virtually impossible. I don't even want to think about juggling working full-time with putting together packaging for 30 individual lithographs, much less actually try it.

The ebay marketplace is loaded with professional resellers. I've already had several inquiries, and I think it's only a matter of time before someone takes the plunge.

Man... must be rough if you need to fire sale all of those. I'm interested in a couple, like everyone else here, but can't manage to spend all that much on all of them at once. I wish you luck putting that for sale and whatever it is you have to pay for gets taken care of.

Not so hot on the "professional resellers" people, because they're a burden on all hobbies it seems. Either way, good luck and great collection, shame to see it leave the house of a collector.

SOLD!

I was starting to get worried, but I did find a buyer.

I'm not sure if it was someone from here or from ebay, but they did take the plunge.
