At a boot sale yesterday I stumbled across a shoe box of 80 original Star Wars Figures. All between 1977 and 1983 as indicated on the rear of the legs. All in pretty nice condition.
I'm a comic guy, but something in me HAD to have these!! I'm thinking of keeping most for myself and will probably just sell the rest. Any idea's on the rough value of these?

Without weapons these aren't worth much in my opinion. Some of the guys who collect loose figures may correct me but I'd say around £1 each if you are lucky.
 
Check ebay but id say 2 quid each some ul get more for droids etc which had no weapons.

no it's one of the vintage pen toppers. The did a whole set of them.

It looks like there's a vintage BSG cloak on Lando too

As a lot they'd fetch around £1 a fig, but if the leia and vader cloaks are real you may get a bit more
 
What are the real Leia and vader cloaks? The ones on kine are plastic...
Thankls for the input guys. This is great!!
 
I think I would have to think twice about leaving a box of figures at a boot sale if I found some, even if they were all dog turds - there is really nothing like picking up a bundle of figures "live" so to speak! I miss English boot sales and fairs :(

The real ones are plastic (vinyl) too, but there are reproductions of these available. If they're real (not reproductions) then the prices will be higher, especially for the Leia figure.
 
These are the Leia figures. Plastic Cloakes on both. Same on the Darth Vader. Are these the rarer ones?? Also I've been told thatb there vwere two variations of Obi Wan, one with white, one with grey hair. I've got one of each. Which is the rarewr one??
I've also attached pics of some extra equipment that was in the box. Probably fell off some of the characters, but question is which one??
If I knew more about these figures I would absolutely love filling in these blanks!

They are not rare by any means.

The capes look original. To be sure, one side should have a tiny 'cross hatch pattern' which should make a sort of zipping sound when scratching it with your nails.

The Leia actually looks pretty good. She's missing her gun though, which will decrease her value quite a bit. You could list her seperately on ebay starting at 99P.

The one variation of Ben is not more valuable than the other. Both are missing the lightsaber, so not worth much.

The cap belongs to the Rancor Keeper, the small brown cloak to the Jawa, the white skirt to a Snowtrooper and the light brown skirt to Klaatu, but you don't have that figure.

By the way, the sandperson/Tusken Raider has the wrong cloak. It belongs to Luke Jedi, but you don't have that figure.

If I were you, I would list the Leia figure with cape on ebay individually and the rest in small lots.
 
If you match the Snowtrooper skirt to your nicest snowtrooper I would list that one individually too.
 
I've got two so I will be selling one. What is it worth? I have a feeling by the weeks end I'll be a Syar Wars figure expert...ok, maybe not expert...but novice!
 
if its quite mint and you were to find an original weapon you could get 18/20 pound off ebay ive missed 2 mint one of ebay this week trying to snipe them at 20.00 but they were mint.

if it is as good as it looks on pic id give you 8 quid plus 2.00 post

but its up to you would probably be better of buying weapons and selling your self or become a collector yourself you got a good start becareful youll get addicted.
