Hi folks, I know what I would value this at but wondering on your thoughts ?

A full run of all of the vintage figures including the Last 17 all complete with correct vintage accessories, all in really good condition c9 / 9.5 no rare variants in there.

A blue snag c8.5 ?

A vintage first 12 with correct vintage accessories ?
 
As above - need photo's to really help out but the question is also not quite that simple.
You could place a value on the collection as a whole, but if you wanted to sell as a whole, the chance are you won't get that - bulk sales tend to be to dealers and they look for a 3x return on their purchase, so you'll likely take a sizeable hit on the overall value.

I've just put together a run of loose figures over the last year or so and prices have been pretty volatile - as an average I would say for first 79 the average price was probably around £45/£50 - a few figures like Leia (in all outfits) were closer to £100 with the correct baster, Cloud Car Pilot with both accessories was £70. Ewoks oddly seem to be going up a bit.of the first 12 on the Leia was up there, Han (big or small head) was around £50,. The Ben/Luke/Vader - will depend on the saber condition - but as an average £45/£50 a figure would put that at £3555/£3950 - so round that to £4k as a top estimate.

The Blue Snaggle is an outlier - anything between £300-£500 or more.

The Last 17 are also a bit mixed - I got a Han with Carbonite for £70 a few months ago, a local shop is selling a Ananaman for £90 (and its been there a while, but the staff is damaged) - But R2 still goes for as much as £300 - but all in I'd still say the average price is £200, so round that to about £3500 (so more or less the last 17 could get as much as the first 79...)

So what's that - all in around the £7k mark + whatever Blue Snag goes for.

But as said, if you want to sell then you'll need to think about how. Dealers and collectors won't pay that for the lot as they'll be looking for a return on their investment (Flipping them) so you'd be lucky to get £2.5k in that scenario. Auction house would be good Vectis or Oberon will both sell a collection and have a customer base. Otherwise it is individual sales on places like here or FB or Evilbay - but that is painful and will come with a fair amount of hassle - also you'll likely shift the higher value items vast and then be left with the less 'popular' figures.

If it were me, I'd go to Vectis or Oberon and sell that way - zero hassle and the best way to ship the lot.

But please load pictures and get more opinions.

OK cheers mate - about what I thought so thanks.
Was considering Vectis as I have quite a large collection of boxed items too.
Also considering selling an extensive autograph collection with some REALLY nice pieces in it.

I used Vectis the last time I moved on a large amount of my collection for a easy and hassle free experience, BUT the amount they take is a lot.
It's a trade off, convenience over money, whichever works best for you.
Good luck.
