First I should introduce myself as i'm new to the forum. I'm Andy, I've been a fan of Star Wars since I was a kid and like most of you I used to have a number of figures and playsets that my mum flogged at a car boot sale - I've never forgiven her!
I'm loving the forum as it a hugely valuable source of information from a very knowledgeable group and ive learned a lot already, also I can spend hours looking at peoples collections and purchases which make my credit card weep at the thought of the cost involved.
I've picked up a few loose figures over the years but just recently was inspired to start a small collection, which i'm finding very addictive already. Anyway I have the opportunity to pick up a nice set of relatively minty first 12 figures complete with original accessories but I wasn't sure what I should be paying, i've seen some loose first 12 figures go for what seems like a lot on ebay, £30-£40 for sandpeople/stormies etc. So what should be a rule of thumb price for the first 12 in really good nick?
Apologies if this has been covered many times before but I couldn't find anything using the search function. Also this may need to be in the valuations section but as I don't have anything to value and it was for general discussion I thought this might be the best section.
p.s I don't have a collection that i'm looking to gauge a price for to then sell on ebay, nor am I looking to buy a collection to then flip for a profit, i'm just relatively new to collecting and so want to make sure that i'm paying the right price.
Thanks for any help
