Libraraptor´s classifieds

I was asked for a list, but you´ll be disappointed.
It´s not that much for the beginning.
One reason for my low trading interest is that postage to US - where most of you live - is incredibly high (I pay about 20 dollars for a package an average sauropod fits in) and the risk of package loss is too high, too.
The other reason is: I don´t have that much for trade. I could easily get you access to some Bullyland or Schleich, since they´re german companies. But I myself usually don´t have that many doubles left.
However: I´m happy with what I occasionally find on ebay Germany or flea markets.
But today I fell in love with the two guys on the left (picture). They´re Colorata I´ve been told.
Does anyone have those and know what are they are worth? For example, would an old 1988 Carnegie Diplodocus do?

Those are Dinotales Series 3 (also, Dinomania) Lystrosaurus (far left) and Trochosaurus (middle).

They are usually pretty commonly available (although I personally don't have any double anymore). I would say that the cost of postage for the Diplo to the US would be higher than the usual price for those two--so maybe it's fair. Scour ebay, you'd be surprised what you'll find.

Those two commonly go for about $6 each on ebay. I have them both, they are very fine figures!

[dinodinkies]

Here they are in a set The Trochosaurus and the Lystrosaurus

One of these guys is looking for a new owner. It´s made of clay, still don´t know about the company. Its unusual posture and nice sculpting (the head!) makes it something special.

sold!

Those are made out of clay? That's odd. I have heard of many figures being made out of a type of ceramic, but never clay!

[Libraraptor]

Those are made out of some fragile ceramic stuff. One had a broken arm, it is white within. So probably I had a translation problem. In Germany we have "Ton" "Keramik" "Porzellan" und "Steinzeug". I thought the Struthios were closest to being made out of "Steinzeug", which I transtated with clay. Hum...

[[][][]cordylus[][][]]

I know you have a starlux dimetrodon- how do these compare to that? I know starlux is made out of a type of plaster or bone meal, do these have a similar "texture"?

[Libraraptor]

I have the following (all unpainted) Invictas twice and would sell them at a fair collector-to-collector price. Best was the complete lot would find a new owner.

GlyptodonMammoth
T.rex
Megalosaurus
Iguanodon
Cetiosaurus
Stegosaurus
Brachiosaurus
Triceratops

plus I still have a

Linde T.rex

and a small

Bullyland Plesiosaurus

to sell.

PMs welcome!

I am selling three books, for I once overestimated my ambitions to become a real palaeontologist. I thought buying those and the feeling buying them would replace a palaeontology Ph.d. They´re not exactly what I wanted, though, for they´re real scientific monographies. Maybe one of you or more are interested in them.

Chiappe and Witmer: Mesozoic Birds. Above the head of Dinosaurs from2002. Bought it in the museumshop of the Berlin natural history museum. There´s an exlibris stamp with my name in it. Apart from this the book is in a very good condition.

Joysey and Kemp: Studies in Vertebrate Evolution from 1972 with personal dedication from Ken Joysey. It´s in good condition, too.

Fraser and Sues: In the Shadow of the Dinosaurs. Early Mesozoic Tetrapods, paperback from 1997 in real good condition.

Hey, Mr. Admin for example, you are a palaeontologist. Wouldn´t these make a good precious addition to your shelf?

Anyone else who´s interested, please PM me, too with your price suggestions.

SOLD!

and: RECEIVED! ;D Thanks, Libraraptor, the books are great and exactly what I am always looking for.

I offer the fantastic and rare KLEINWELKA Deinosuchus for sale or trade with some little Kaiyodo or Kabaya figures. If you buy it from US, unfourtunately postage would be 16,50 $, from Europe it would be 6 €. Please contact me via PM.



Kleinwelka Deinosuchus. Length 26,5 cm, 5 cm tall at the eyesockets, 4 cm width. Very light Ex - GDR - Plaste material

[Himmapaan]

Aww, I would have loved those books. Too late. ;D

[Libraraptor]

Can anyone of you seriously tell me the worth of an unarmoured, unsaddled Tyco Dino Riders Brontosaurus, please? And if yes, I´d like to trade it.

Still looking for nearly all painted Invictas except for Glyptodon, Mammoth and the Sea creatures, and Walking with Dinosaurs dinosaurs except from Iguanodon and Utahraptor.

I think 70 USD is a fair price for a loose bronto. maybe as much as 100 USD if it is in superb condition.

Sounds good. Is anyone here interested? I would not take 70 Dollars, for we are all poor collectors PM me, if you like!

[Libraraptor]

Isn´t it ironic? A post above and five months ago I was looking for painted Invictas, and now I announce that I am desperately looking for the

White Invictas.

I do have two big, holloe AAA Entelodonts I´d sell or trade for that purpose.

[Seijun]

I *might" have some spare white invictas soon, but they will be non-mint.

Fine by me. Would you want to trade those? Or do you prefer selling them? PM me on that topic please.
