Match of the Week – March 3, 2014

In the early 1990’s, Funskool produced a fully poseable superhero action figure that posed a striking resemblance to the most well-known comic superhero ever, Superman.

The action figure was made out of different G.I. Joe parts. Funskool, based in India, had the rights to create G.I. Joe figures, but they did not have the rights to mix and match G.I. Joe parts to create knock-off characters.

This bootleg Superman action figure is a sought after collectors item and is hard-to-find in good shape. One of our members posted this action figure as a Want on our our website in hopes that someone could help him locate one in good condition for an affordable price.

Lucky for our Superman collector friend, a Finder on FyndIt tracked one down in great condition for half the price!

Match of the Week – February 10, 2014

Looking for a hard-to-find item and need help? FyndIt is a new service that helps connect people who want stuff with the people who know where to get it. It is always great to see successful matches on FyndIt. This week’s Match of the Week for February 10th is a vintage 1960’s hand painted Disneykins gift set.

There is a lot of Disney memorabilia out there available for purchase, but some items are harder to come by. A Disney collector posted a Want to FyndIt requesting help locating a complete box set of Disneykins in good condition for $85-$120. They offered a $4.00 bounty reward to anyone who could help them find their collectible Disney miniatures.

The Want was posted in mid-December and a Find was located and posted in the last week. Although it took a few weeks to make a match, the Disney collector was able to get help locating the item for the price they were willing to pay for it.

FyndIt can help you track down hard-to-find items, but we can also help you locate readily available items for a better price online or in stores. Looking for something and you want to get a great deal on it? Post it to FyndIt and let our community of Finders help you track it down.

Match of the Week – January 13, 2014

FyndIt is a great site to turn to when you are looking for something and you just can’t seem to find it at the price you are willing to pay for it. We help connect people who want stuff with people who know where to get it. Sometimes our members help each other find really good deals on comic book memorabilia.

The Match of the Week for January 13th, is Sideshow Exclusive limited edition Rogue statue. A Want for the statue was posted to FyndIt requesting one in good condition with the original box for under $300. A bounty reward of $4 was offered to anyone who could help find it.

Someone of FyndIt saw the Want posting for the Rogue statue and knew where to locate it. They responded to the Want with a Find that included a picture, description and price point for the Wanter to review. The person who posted the Want saw that the Finder had located the limited edition statue for $25 cheaper than originally requested. This was a good deal for the Wanter and they accepted the match. 

Upon accepting the match, the Wanter paid the Finder a bounty reward of $4 for the exchange of the statue’s location. The Wanter was able to walk away happy knowing where to find a good deal on Sideshow statue and the Finder earned a couple of bucks for helping a comic collector out.

Matches of the Week – December 16, 2013

The FyndIt Finders have been busy this past week, searching for Wants and have made several successful matches. It makes us feel excited when we see Finders helping Wanters track down their items. The Wanters are happy to finally locate their items and the Finders are happy to make a little pocket change helping out other FyndIt members. Everyone wins!

Here are a few examples of the matches made on FyndIt in the last week:

Just in time for the holiday countdown, a Star Wars Santa Yoda Jedi Knight Christmas Advent calendar was posted to FyndIt and within the same day one of our Finders located the item and the Wanter happily accepted the match.

Another happy customer included FyndIt member Scooter, who accepted a Find for a 1965 classic Batman and Robin board game manufactured by Hasbro. The character depictions were fashioned off of the 1960’s Batman TV series.

Someone’s kitchen table is going to have a lot more character with the addition of a vintage Snidely Whiplash salt and pepper shaker. Whiplash was the archenemy of Dudley Do-Right on the animated Rocky and Bullwinkle Show produced in the 1950s and 1960s. He had a habit of tying poor and defenseless Nell Fenwick to railroad tracks.
