Greetings from Crave, your Transformers marketplace by fans, for fans!

This week we’re bringing you more selection than ever. Now you can buy or sell “Customs” and “Lots” in addition to individual TFs and parts. Everything is still well-organized and easy to find in the Crave Transformers catalog of nearly 4000 TFs. For TF sellers, don’t forget about your chance to win up to $100 in our April Seller Contest. With 3 ways to win, the competition is still open and it’s anyone’s game. Read on to learn about the contest, the newest and best priced items currently on the marketplace, and the latest tools for sellers to promote their listings.

Recent Sales Highlights:

First Charity Listing Sold on Crave
Long time Crave user and seller Jason Carnley sold the first charity listing on Crave on April 15th. His custom cartoon style G1 Optimus Prime with LED lights and lots of other customized additions sold for $300. Jason will donate half of the proceeds to IDES (International Disaster and Emergency Service) to benefit the earthquake disaster in Japan. Here are some great photos of this awesome figure:

New Record Sale Time
A new record was set for the shortest time between listing and purchase on Crave this week. On April 14th a relatively new seller, Clyde Leonard, listed a G1 Astrotrain at 11:17am. Nine minutes later at 11:26am that Astrotrain was purchased, setting a new record for Crave!

We are certainly not above shamelessly plugging Crave and its sellers to anyone who will listen, and we want our sellers to get in on the fun. So we will begin giving out forum and email signatures to all interested sellers that will link directly to their storefront! Click here and copy and paste the code into your signature. Forum goers who click on this signature will automatically be linked to your individual store front. You don’t have to change the code at all!

How to list Lots and Custom Figures
If you have a bunch of TF’s to sell but don’t want to list them individually, list a Lot by clicking here.

We have also been getting requests to list customs on the site. Now you can! If you customized an existing TF with a repaint or other modifications, go ahead and list it under the catalog entry for the figure you upgraded and describe the upgrades in the notes section. Alternatively, if you made something new, click here to list it as a custom product.
