how do i go about getting rid of them? all 4 are shelf warmers, bumblebee is just plain ugly, and well, its a bumblebee. the jolt is a piece of crap, and skids and mudflap while fun to transform they are ugly in both modes.

It is possible that your sales pitch may need some refining.
DOTM Jolt is appreciated by some; but IMO he's decidedly inferior to the ROTF/HFTD mold. DOTM Skids and Mudflap seem nearly universally reviled (though I have seen their defenders here); and that Bumblebee is… really only appealing to Bumblebee collectors.
You can't expect to get much for these. It's conceivable you'd come across some DOTM aficionado who would trade something moderately interesting for the lot of them; but I think even that is a long shot.
Giving them away as Mkall suggests is a pretty reasonable option. Alternatively, you could see if whatzitooya has even a dime to his name.
Or customise them into something that'll sell better.xyl360 wrote:Aside from that, if you do any kitbashing or painting, you might consider making them into something you might like better.

Well. I do have some, Just not enough to cover the price being asked as well as shipping

As for what I think of the figures:
DotM Jolt is okay. Not more.
Bumblebee? I dont know what mold yours is but I dont like that "grafiti" deco. Usually, most BB toys are great.
I don't own DotM Skids but I do own DotM Mudflap. WHY THE HELL PEOPLE HATE HIM? DotM Mudflap is a very awesome toy and one of the best DotM deluxes. The bot mode and vehicle are excellent and the transformation are ingenious.
Ironically, I'll have to rely on Ebay to get my missing DotM skids. :/

I definitely agree with you that they are ALL turds and you're right in parting with them. I also agree with the others in giving or donating to a Goodwill or Salvation Army or other cause perhaps. I've done it and it will make some kid/kids really happy and you'll feel good too man, that's if you can't sell them of course!
