Start of the big sell off?

[James1977]

Hi all,

I only joined recently, but mentioned that I was looking to sell off my collection to people who would appreciate it and get some enjoyment out of it.
I finally managed to pick it up from my parents last month and am slowly going through cleaning and photographing it.
Anyway I was hoping to get a few ballpark figures for some of the better items. they are all exclusively loose other than a tripod cannon and INT-4.
Although not all of them are complete most of them are in good to very good condition wear wise and could be the beginnings of a loose collection for someone starting out.
Find attached some pics and any advice comments would be much appreciated.
Look forward to your responses

The cockpit glass on the x-wings needs swapping over. The clear one goes on the white one and the dark one goes on the grey one. The complete grey one is worth around £60-70. I'd be interested in it when you come to selling.

Loose mini rigs are roughly £8-10, boxed £20-25. The mini shuttle is about £15-20. The AT-ST is £20 as is, £35 if you can find the top gun.
The snowspeeder is £25-30 as is, closer to £50 if the harpoon and block are there. The white X-Wing with no cannons is £20.

 

[James1977]

Thanks very much for the response lejackal. Those sound like the kind of values I was mulling around.
The top gun for AT-ST is definitely gone unfortunately.
I noted that the white x-wig has battle damage on it but seen others that are cleaner or did both sets come with applicable stickers?
Also the grey one has a small bit of warping on undercarriage and wings dont seem to want to lock into attack position. I should probably have made that clear but was in a rush to just start puttimg things up.
Can upload a few more picks to illustrate.
Any benefit in swooping the cannons onto white one and selling that as complete instead?

The white complete is £40-50 and the grey with the issues is probably the same so theres no real benefit. The battle damage stickers came with both from ESB onward

Thanks again for clarification. Apologies for not having mentioned the fault in the grey one. I would probably swop over cannons then just as the white xwing is then more complete and in better nick
I was wondering about the stickers as was worried it may have devalued it.

So I am uploading a few (a lot of) pics of some creatures and loose incomplete figures for any suggestions as to prices if people are happy to share thoughts.

The Wampa has a slight discolouration to torso but otherwise very nice, (tight limbed), and the Tauntan is open belly type but the reins are broken, but the saddle is in very nice condition.

The incompletes here are some of the nicer ones, near mint nice tight limbs, a few with light wear marks to tips of fingers / toes / eyes (yes you Ree Yees!), but ideal either for substitutes of slightly scruffier completes / duplicates / starter collections?

I will continue adding to this thread on occasion over next few days with my completes (well some of them anyway) before starting to list them in the for sale section.

As I've said before people on here seem very knowledgable and upfront / honest so I value your opinions (as long as they help me get some investment back

Thanks again in advance,

James

The figures are all in the £3-6 each range apart from Luke Endor (black outfit and helmet). He's around £30 right now. The Wampa is about £15 and maybe £20 on the Tauntaun

Thanks again for swift response. I was hoping for £5 for most as in good nick. Bit I guess some of them are quite common. Can always try sell a few together as bundles maybe

Got some 'beaters' that I will probably bundle up and sell off cheap. Never really sure who buys them or why though. Maybe I should keep the worst for kids to play with

 

[James1977]

Another update / a few more requests for valuations on some of my completes / potential higher rollers. Again all loose, but in very good condition nice stiff limbs and very minimal wear (if any), all weapons / accessories tested and proofed (but then they are all from childhood collections bar luke x-wing and teebo which were later additions).

Advice appreciated. I will start a new for sale thread over the weekend / next week administrators permission allowing as would prefer to sell on here if possible rather than risk the chancers on ebay. If there is a reputable facebook group I wouldn't be averse to that but not sure which one is best.

Thanks again in advance

James

Off the top of my head...

Snowtrooper £30
Leia Boushh £20
Logray £12
Anakin £20
Teebo £12
Jawa £40
Luke X-Wing £20-25
Luke Stormtrooper - I won't comment, as I would be interested
Lando Skiff £15
Luke Jedi £30, a decent amount more if you can find the gun. Shame about the nose rub.

Thanks Cazza,

Yeah shame about some of the losses over the years and the occasional nose rub, but I got a lot of pleasure out of them as a kid so they're lived in
I'm aware of Luke stormtroopers potential so fair play. I have a very beaten up blaster missing the actual handle for that one which is even more frustrating, but watcha gonna do? It's not worth including that with him as it's such a bad example. Hoping to still get a decent price.

Thanks again and watch the sales thread for upcoming listings. I will probably break them down as I did here vehicles, incompleted and completes / near completes

 

[Cazza]

Yeah, the best thing is the enjoyment and subsequent memories you have got. That's what they were meant for!
