( Sorry for the delay in reply / wait! I've been having a very busy week running around everywhere, hahaha! )

Haha! I wouldn't say Zenity and I are too much in competition to each other! ( But we did war it out once very intensely over a rare Wooper charm / keychain, hahaha. Oh golly, that little thing cost me so much at the end! She put up quite a good show! )
Luckily (for me!), Zenity is more focused on her Quagsires than having Wooper as her main attention, while I'm 100% devotedly focused on the Woops and don't collect Quagsire at all! But I do know quite a few Quagsire collectors from the community. I consider them brothers in arms, since we sometimes can split line sets to get what we respectively want! ;)
I do very much admire [ and covet (; ] Zenity's Wooper collection though! She's one of my "collection idols" from when I first joined the community! She still has a few Wooper items I haven't been able to find yet too! She has an amazing collection! / starry eyes /

Now onto business!
Yep, your value accessments are about right! Wooper Plush, with the exception of the Wooper Jakks Plush, are unfortunately all a good deal rare and difficult to come across. The Wooper Pokedoll is very rare and hard to find! ( I don't know why! It took me a year of vigilantly searching to finally find my first one! And it was a decently "loved" one at that, haha! It was very frustrating! ) The Banpresto Wooper Plush doesn't (or almost never) shows up on eBay, Amazon, or the community. They occasionally show up on yahoo!Japan auctions from time to time, and that's usually the only way to get them (through using a deputy service). That's where I've gotten mine from! :) There's currently one, with hangtag still attached, on y!Japan right now [here] that is going for around the equivalent of $40 USD (without deputy fees / shipping added on).

Your estimate is pretty accurate though! I was thinking of auctioning off my extra Banpresto Wooper starting at $35 (I already have 2 of them, haha. Yes, I am the crazy Wooper man. I can't help it! I impulsively hoard the Woops every time I see them pop up!)

But here's what I can do!:

I can offer to set you up with a "Wooper Starter Pack", to jump start your Wooper collection! =)
( all photos are clickable to view larger, detailed versions! )
I can add in an extra Wooper Tomy Plush for you too! :) The Wooper Tomy Plush is pretty hard to come across as well. There use to be a couple listed up on eBay for around the $40-50 price range, but there's none left showing up right now anymore.
I can also add in 2 Wooper figures for you to start you off! :)

A Wooper Jakks Figure (common - one of the few, more available to find Wooper merch out there!) and 1 Wooper Battle Museum Figure (Bandai, 2000 Series #4) which is not too easy to find (at the least uncommon; I haven't seen more than 1 or 2 show up for sale during the 1 + 1/2 past years I've been actively collecting Woopers. The ones I've seen tend to show up in yahoo!Japan lots and are in used / preowned condition. This one I'm offering is brand new out of package!).

I also have a custom crocheted Wooper Plush, made by cinnri / Cinnristreusel on DA -

Might you be interested in swapping a custom for a custom for the Custom Fuzzy Mew I was interested in before? :) Or I can include the Custom into the lot for the trade for Vaporeon, if you'd like that instead!

( continued; I reached the comment limit cap in the above comment, hahaha! )

Does that sound like a fair deal to you? :) Let me know what you think! I would be happy to help boost start your new Wooper collection!
And if you need any more specific information, more photos, etc., just let me know and feel free to request! =)

(lol, long post is long XD)

My good Sir, what a wonderful offer! Draw me a cute picture of Wooper on the package and you have got yourself a deal :D (I don't care if you're an artist or not, LOL I just love package drawings)

So, let me lay things out so we're both eye to eye:
For you: Vaporeon Canvas Plush, Custom Mew Plush
For me: Wooper Pokedoll, Banpresto, Tomy, Cinnri Custom (plush) + Jakks, Battle Museum (figure)

You live in the US, correct? I'd prefer to put a tracking number on Vappy, and I'd love one in return for the Woopers. I can never figure out how give someone tracking info if they're out of the country without spending liek, $30 :|

So yeah, let me know when you're ready to ship out and I'll try to do it same day :D

[ Hehe, I am known to be quite verbose at times! I think this is the first time I've reached the comment limit cap (at least on this community.. don't give me that look!!) before though, hahaha. Hey! It's best to get everything covered than leave anything out, right! More detail is always good, eh? ;) ]

Why indeed, you have stumbled onto the right person! I do indeed draw, and Woopers I can indeed draw fairly well [ given my natural disposition as The Wooper Man; I, on occasion, naturally have had the urges to doodle Woopers for myself (; ].
I often normally include small doodles in my packages for community folk, and was planning to doodle you something even before you made the request, in the case that you accepted my offer! This extra stipulation will not be a problem at all! ;) I love doodling for nice community members! =)

And yep, your confirmation list for the swap is correct! Sounds like a wonderful trade to me! =)

If you don't mind me asking, could I request more / some extra photos of Vaporeon, just to check her out? :) ( I reckon you've noticed my proclivity towards details. I like check out my plush's patterns and stitching, haha. ) Is there any issues about her that I should know of? Or is she completely like-new? :)

Yep, my items can be mailed to my USA address! :) And yep, I was going to request the same with tracking / adding on a delivery confirmation number for the added security given the high cost / worth of these fellows! That's not a problem at all! :) A delivery confirmation number tacked on is only an extra 85 cents!
( Yeah, I wish they had a better system to add tracking for international packages that didn't require going by the very costly Priority Mail or EMS options. It's always a $5-6 normal Airmail vs $20-30 difference, and that is just nuts for a single plush / small item! )

I'll get to packing up your Woops now! =) I'm a good deal certain I can have them shipped out to you this week! I'm going to go try to doodle you some Woops tonight to go in with your package. ;)

One last thing also! I'm very, very, very interested in your Tiny Mew Button ( from here: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g297/snowtigermar/trades/DSCN0335.jpg ). I'm not sure if you'd be willing to add it in, and I'm also out of spare Woopers items to send over to you, haha. But I really want that button a lot! ( I love that sort of little knick-knacks! )
I've been on a quest to find it for a long time, but never see anybody selling it! There is one lot on yahoo!Japan that keeps getting relisted that does have the Mew Button in it ( along with other buttons of the set / series), but that lot is listed at not-very-reasonable price! ( I think it was at 2,500 yen, although already high for a set of little buttons, would also require at least an extra 1,000 yen to cover deputy service frees, and I cannot do around $40 for 10 buttons! )
Is there any chance you'd be willing to make an exception to selling it? Or we can try to work out another small trade / small item for me to add in for it? Or maybe I can do you an extra bundle / bunch of doodles for it in exchange? ( But I'm hesitant to offer art, because I feel I have a hard time achieving / completing a level of quality that I'm personally happy enough with to give to other people, when it comes to more serious work than a fun doodle. )

Do you have any thoughts / what do you think? :)

Hey! Just wondering if you were still interested in trading.
I'm setting this stuff up for auction soon, so if you don't want to anymore, no problem :)

Let me know!
