It's a bit late to ask that question.... You have already listed them!!

They seem to be selling pretty strong, I would honour the auction and let it run. If I were bidding on your auction and you pulled it, then re listed it separately I would be pretty annoyed.

There's only a couple of figures of any value there really (lummat and Yak face are roughly £15 and £50 respectively) the rest are £2-5 each.
 
Just spotted EV9d9 (brown droid) and amanaman...
The amanaman is shagged, but you will get £15 for the staff with skulls on it.
The droid is £20 with a detached arm.

Even so leave it to run- big lots can actually sell for more than the sum of it's parts.
 
Thank you, yeah I'll let the auction run.

There are a few issues with the auction in that it only shows up in UK searches and I can't revise this, therefore if you'd like to bid on this item and live outside of the UK please just contact me and I'll add you to the 'Buyer Requirements Exemption List' so you can bid.
 
Yeah i'd say let it run. Unfortunately it's too late to put the word Yak Face in the title but people will still find it (and have) so you'll still get the value.
Most of the figures here are worth less than £3 a piece but the Yak Face is worth 60-70
Amanaman staff is worth 10-12,
EV9D9 if the arm is easily re-attachable is worth £40. Lumat is worth 20-25.
The Death Star Droid (sivler droid that looks like C3P0) if the paint is good is worth 20-40.
R2 if the sticker is good and it's not yellowed is worth 10
Darth Vader if sabre is not broken is worth another 10.
Boba Fett if the paint is good is worth 10-13.

The rest, from what i can see, between £2 and £5.

I'd say total value about £250-270


side note: a couple of the weapons are not Star Wars weapons. No idea what lines they're from without closer inspection.

Hope that helps.

Pete.
 
Thanks Pete! I really appreciate all your help.

There are detailed photos of just the weapons further down the listing. I'm pretty sure the shotgun isn't Star Wars but I figured I should just put the lot up as people looking know more than me. Originally I wasn't going to included the Amanaman staff, shotgun and a few others things in the lot as I didn't think they where SW but I'm glad I did.

Definitely going to let the auction run its course.
 
i was biding on these but they have run to high for me now id say you are doing very well as a job lot there looks to be a lot of play worn figures in this lot good luck anyway
 
I would pray that the bidder comes good on that price as its really high, especially as the majority are woth £1.

mine never get prices like that :(

lol
 
I would be very surprised if it goes any higher. Fairly sure that's not a dealer bidding that high- I reckon resale value if sold individually is £250-280 absolute TOP money.

I think you have done well..... if the winner pays :lol:
 
100% agree - I can't see much more than the £250 in there - the Yak will have to be in great shape to justify this purchase for a dealer
 
Thanks guys! Real happy with how this is going and feel a bit daft for worrying about it under selling now.

What's expected with packing loose figures? I plan to individually wrap each figure in bubble wrap with a little tape to keep the wrap from unfolding and then put them all in one large card box (with the accessories bundled together in a separate wrap). Sounds like a good pack to me but I just though I should check as maybe collectors/dealers expect something different?

Bloody hell - I wish all sellers were like this

I have bought loads of collections like this only to have them turn up in a plastic bag all rattling around together.

in all honestly the way you have suggested is perfect. Some of the figures really don;t need to be individually wrapped as they are already pretty beat up but if you do them all then I think the buyer will be a very happy bunny :D

Yeah, i agree. As i said in my original valuation. I reckon there's 250-275 here tops. If you bought this to resell you would lose money.
Altho i think it is worth what it is currently bid to. That's based on each figure's individual value. I am often surprised lots like this reach their value based on individual pricing. If you bought each and every figure in this lot separately it would cost you about the same. Only shipping would make the difference.
I think certain areas of vintage Star Wars toys on ebay is seeing some what of a resurgence. When i started collecting (2 years ago today!) i used to buy lots like this for 40-50 quid. My first 4 Yaks i got in lots like this and i know i never spent more than 60 quid.

Rad, I'd hate for any damage to happen in transit + I owe it to the bidder as clearly there is value in the lot.

Thanks again for all the input!

Nice Pete.

Smooth operator, - your good at this, you should start collecting star wars toys or something. :)
