Greetings from Crave!

The marketplace is booming as we close out March. Fans are taking full advantage of the comments and “Good Price” button, sellers are competing to win our March Seller of the Month contest, and everyone’s having fun! This week we released a new catalog editing tool. Users have been updating the catalog with the newest TF products, giving you even more selection on the marketplace. As usual, check below for our current deals and newest listings.

Help us update the catalog!
Don’t see a TF you want to sell in the catalog? Submit your additions or edits and be a part of the Crave Catalog Team that keeps the Transformers catalog up to date! Additions can include new or pending releases or even custom figures.

Simply go to the Crave Transformers catalog editing form, then enter your info and submit! Changes usually take effect within 24 hours.

It’s not too late to compete in the March Seller Contest for 3 prizes
Last week we launched a 14 day contest to see who could sell the most Transformers. The seller who sells the most TFs wins $100 Amazon card, 2nd place gets $50, and 3rd gets $20. Click here for the details!

Anyone know if someone from UK can use this site? There is no mention of international postage...

RTS Perceptor for 20 bucks ??? Theyre hanging on Target shelves right now as we speak for $12.99. Maybe Im a little bit of an extremist, but I believe when someone even has the audacity to post a crazy price like that they are insulting us readers and assuming we are a bunch of suckers. No disrespect to the site owners, but your site will only be as good as the people who use it. Get rid of the clowns and the annoying facebook requirement and your site will attract more buyers and sellers.

Why pay 15 dollars for Drift when I can pay 11 dollars in stores?

From looking at the site, it looks like they are resellers. The cost includes their service. Also, keep in mind what you have at the stores around you may not apply to everyone. For instance, Ive only seen 1 Perceptor on the shelves but there were 6 MP Grimlocks at the local TRU.

Besides, if someone is willing to buy them, they arent priced too high.

For you that might not make sense but for someone who doesn't have Drift available locally, then they might pay $15.

If you didn't get Drift when he was out, some might say SUCKA!, but I say it's a terrible loss.
