Clipper stickers - add value?

[Paul-itoy]

Whilst at a toy fair yesterday I spotted some figures with the small colour Clipper stickers on the rear of the card.
One was a trilogo Nikto for £20 and the other a Trilogo Imperial Dignitary for £65.
Do the Clippers stickers add value? Would you have bought if you saw them?

The dealer also had an ESB Canadian Carded FX7, gorgeous condition for £40, but it's really hard to know whether they are good prices or not when it comes to carded figures.

Having just sold a fair few Tri Logos, some with this clipper offer sticker, unless a character focus collector is specifically looking for one as a variant, the value usually is no different.
Having the small star burst sticker on the front as well makes more of a difference.

Cheers Marc. I thought that might be the case, but I never like walking past stuff just in case I missed a good deal.

In my experience they add a considerable amount of value to some figures, I sold a clipper 8D8 tri for 70/80 Euros and Shawn sold a clipper Gam guard tri with clipper back sticker for a little less.

There are a few clipper collectors out there as well as focus collectors that love clipper stickers like Marc said, I was recently offered an 8d8 with front sticker for 175$ which was about 75$ overpriced but I may never see another with a front sticker so the seller can ask whatever he wants if you get me?

At 20 and 60 those were bargains without the stickers, easily would have made the nikto a 40-50 quid figure and the dig possibly 80 quid , depending on condition.

They mean jack **** to the every day collector but there are people that will pay decent money for them especially if its a front sticker (starburst or the black and white hypno swirl)

Just a side note- on ebay they can go either way, I know some rarely go higher than their unstickered version but when people get in bidding wars they can go nuts, there is a seller called viper-nl from the netherlands that always has clipper import stickered MOC's and I know some go through the roof when he lists them.

I paid 100$ for my afa 80 tri clipper (back sticker) I would easily stretch to that for one with a front sticker if not a little more, just wasn't prepared to go to 175 for the one I was offered.

Also- I would buy the canadian fx7 , you can get a kenner equivalent for 40-60 quid, but a canadian is much rarer. you could potentially double/triple your money to the right collector if its in good condition (if you buy to sell)
