Vintage star wars items for sale

Of you have original weapons and accessories for all the figures then you will have no problem selling them here for a fair price. I would be interested in at least 4.

Like everyone else I would thoroughly recommend you pull them from the auction, take good quality photos yourself and request some valuations here.

You'll end up with more money in your pocket that way and be selling items directly to collectors and not dealers.

Oh, and since they're your childhood toys maybe hold onto 1 for a keepsake.

Thanks bluedog....I have taken on board what you have said , although I'm not sure if my 'overpriced ****' would be of interest to anyone here. If anyone likes the look of something in particular then I would be happy to discuss. Thanks again for your advice, much appreciated

The cheap shots and digs were primarily aimed at the auction house not yourself, I wouldn't take things personally and like you've said you initially turned to the auctioneers for help as you knew very little about the value of your items.

My advice would be to post up some good pictures in the valuation thread and let the good people of this forum give you a fair and competitive price which you can then use to sell in the for sale thread. You will certainly save on fees but would have the hassle of posting items which must be sent well packaged to protect the goods, perhaps that wouldn't bother you anyway.

The seller pays 20% and the buyer 20% which would ultimately affect the end sale price so that they dont reach their true potential. The auction house estimates are also overpriced in my opinion.

Some potential buyers may be local so if you'd be happy for a Star Wars geek to come round and pick up the item that would take some of the hassle away.

You have some nice items, nothing to set the world alight but I should think it would all sell on the forum for a good price. Good luck with the sale and I hope you raise the money you need.
 
Also, just to add, if the photo of the figures is all you have there are several weapons and accessories missing. The boba fett has the incorrect weapon with it.

By the sounds of things you have gone to the local auction house and they have bullshitted you. I do feel quite bad for you as you are clearly trying to seek the best advice but I don't believe the best advice is what you have.

If you want to know what you have and what it's worth then post up some decent photos. You will get fair market values for everything you want to know about. If you also take photos of the accessories then we can tell you what you do or don't have.

I think the fett is a rarer light blue fett, often referred to as the trilogo fett but I can't tell from looking at the photos on the phone. It's not worth anywhere near what they say but it's worth a bit more than the standard. Perhaps someone can check it on a of screen. I struggle a bit with the blues unless they are next to each other.

None of the abuse was meant to be personal. We get a lot of people on here that try to take the piss out of us with selling. It gets a bit tedious. You have obviously not. We will give you all the help you need pricing and selling these.
 
I appreciate the replies and advice guys. I'm kicking myself for placing items in auction now. Sale is not long away so going to see it through although I don't hold out much hope now.
When I started going through all the pieces and matching weapons to figures etc, I did think at one point I might just hang onto them coz there just so damm cool!...but like I said...I'm a 37 year old local authority worker...not much time for galactic wars anymore. Fingers crossed though they sell...if not,watch this space.

I promise the correct weapon for bobo is there, it was in his hand when I dropped of the items. It's obviously been put with rest of accessories and they have photographed him with another.
