What does this chart really say? When where these sold on eBay?
Just curious, not pro or con any site.

Looked on ebay and saw one of these recently being sold for 700$
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Star-Wars-Top-Toys-Argentina-ROTJ-Stormtrooper-AFA-85-NM-Beautiful/263927857921?hash=item3d73538301:g:3pkAAOSw5KFbS8hT


Is that the Star Wars tracker?

Yes, eBay. All ungraded, the one you have linked is graded 85 and still cheaper than the ungraded one on Facebook

I have never been on facebook, looks like it is expensive to buy the toptoys stormie there :shock:

I don't do Facebook either Pomse, it does look like it's an expensive place and somewhere I don't intend to start looking at anytime ever..........personal choice :D

I much prefer Ebay or just shopping around collectables shops 8)

I also prefer ebay, the forum and just to pick up lots in my country.

But I have heard from fellow danes that is on facebook that it is harder to sell in denmark than it was ½ year ago on fecebook, so maybe prices is going down :? or maybe it is only in denmark :lol:

I stopped selling on Facebook after 3 auctions of figures I was selling sold for way less than what I would've got on eBay for them.

I was really annoyed about it

So it sounds like people have differing opinion / experiences using different selling platforms. Both FB and ebay have good and bad deals. I think browsing both platforms is the sensible option. I don't believe there is an eBay price and a FB price for items - most FB items are auctioned so the winning bid is what people are willing to pay for it I guess.

Exactly. There is no right place to buy, you need to look everywhere for good deals (including real life, not just on the internet.) I think that's what bugs people about many Facebooks "evilpay" policies, they are actively encouraging their members to avoid one of the safest and sometimes cheapest places to buy vintage.

Mate I couldn't agree more. I've bought most of my collection on eBay and some of it here and I've definitely got all my best bargains there. Won this lot at auction this week, one of those ones that just went under the radar. Finished middle of the day.. £85. I need the Dig for my collection, I could sell all the rest and get my money back = free Dig :D It's all in real nice condition and the Landspeeders minty. The bargains are certainly out there.
