Are Final Frontier Toys prices fair??

[Chrome_Jedi]

Hi all, I recently found an online store in the states called Final Frontier Toys that has an extensive stock of vintage boxed SW toys in various grades, being as I'm super new to the hobby if anyone here could check out this site and let me know if the prices seem fair I would appreciate it. Also they have a free international shipping for anything over $350 i think which might make it a lil cheaper for me as i live in Bermuda. Thank you in advance to any members who give me advice

They are a little bit higher than the norm but then again they mostly deal with graded items and prices tend to be higher anyways when items are encased in acrylic.

I think the prices of the stuff FF sell are a lot better than some of the other big dealers on ebay and the net and I have never heard a bad word about them.

Are you intent on buying graded items or ungraded? You can save a lot of money going with ungraded but nice conditioned items and you also save the hassle of items being shipped with less protection if you go the ungraded route (AFA cases for carded figures aren't ideal for sending valuable items across the world in)

I once sold them a boxed European soundwave afa 85 for 700 bucks 2 years ago, they put it in shop for 1800 bucks
They got some nice pieces though and nice to deal with.
I think their prices are high though because if you check out how much they pay for items, thats quite high too. For instance they say they will pay POTF Yak Face $5500 in 85 grade which is a bit more than I have ever seen them sell on ebay and POTF Anakin $6500.

I am having a good look there now, it has new design since I last checked.
The guy must be absolutely loaded.

Bought a few things from them years and years ago. They were decent enough to deal with and if memory serves me right they were happy enough to negotiate on price.

I bought a moc from them a couple of months back. I think the owners name is Frank and they're a real slick outfit. I managed 10% off without really trying. They also marked the value down and the postage cost him $5 more than he charged. They also packed it perfectly. I would definitely recommend them. Their prices for the graded stuff is a little OTT but I think the mocs and other bits are ok.

Thanks for the input guys, the owner of the store responded to an e-mail I sent him asking about his prices and he did say he would definitely work with me on pricing so I will check out what he has in stock. I am one step closer to starting my new hobby Thanks again guys I am really enjoying the forum!

@ Joe..... I definitely will buy ungraded boxed vessels if they are in good condition, thanks for the advice mate.

I will vouch for Frank Bray! Top US dealer!! Yes you will pay more but with that price will come top customer service, top quality items and no trouble!
Frank is also willing to help avoid savage custom charges which I have to say many Yanks are not interested in doing because they insist on declaring full contents value etc.
