New to forum - Looking for advice

[Gi5_GhostHunter]

Hi

I'm new to the forum, only just found it the other night.
My wife started me collecting figure and vehicles 10 years ago after giving it all up when I was a kid (around 20)

Several decades later looks like it is time to sell on due to family growinf and the house isn't. Specialy built garage can no longer store my collction.

What I'm looking for is a guide book at what things are worth. Had a local collectors shop visit and he really like the collection, but woulld only offer £600 as they only pay 50% of it's worth (they've got to make a profit).

I've browsed ebay, and 3 itmes for example
all boxed, never opende, Trilogy Collection
Endor AT-AT
Millenium Falcon
Lego 4501 Mos Eisley

These all seem to be asking silly money.

Are people actually paying these prices?
I've spoke to to a friend about the Lego, that seems to be expensive due to of the figure, break down of the set is about £87, but it seems a waste.

Any help and guidence would be appriecated. Don't want to sell, but kidds need shoes and daddy needs a new car

cheers

When you take piccys of the Falcon, AT_AT ect make sure you do a close up of the sides and where its taped as well please.

Looking forward to the piccys, cheers.

Hello

I recently sold the "greedo" figure from the mos eisley lego set you mention,just for your reference I sold the figure loose for £37.29....the rest of the set isnt worth diddly **** to be honest it's purely the Greedo that people want from it!

May be worth holding on to that set because he is very hard to find at the moment...

Cheers

HI

I've got the photos of the Endor At-At and Lego 4501, I didn't put the Falcon on as I must have opend it about 8 years ago and put the stickers on it, then put it back in the box.

I think that AT-AT is not worth over the moon money, it seems to go for £50 to £70. Falcons are the same whether it be the POTFII or OTC versions.
