The Price Check/What is it worth Thread

[Bumblebee2000]

Even the RRP would help so I know what price to come down from, because my bigger concern is space;

I've got a Supreme ROTF Devastator. Awkward that I'm selling it with the announcement of the Studio Series figure (even if that isn't the reason). That probably killed the niche demand for an opened one. But I'm asking because it's awkward. Have the instructions, but probably not mint instructions. Again, I don't even remember the RRP or eventual clearance price of this or how to find that out.

Might start at $70 and just hope that's not too offensive then, but haven't looked it over yet. Anyway thanks, that sounds right.

[UltraMarginal]

I know for a fact they have been selling for several hundred on eBay in the last couple years, that will calm down but not straight away, I'd get on and list it as soon as you can. maybe start there as an auction.

[Bumblebee2000]

Wow. That's not what I was expecting at all. Will definitely get it ready tomorrow whatever I decide to do. Maybe average my expectations with that suggestion for a similar price.

[1AZRAEL1]

What would be current value of WST collection? Specifically Silverstreak Thundercracker and Skywarp. A Google search tells me TC and Warp are rare? So therefore I can't find any decent listings for a price. I don't want to ask top dollar, but I don't wanna undersell either.

Is it good to use ebay for comparing prices for items you are selling?

[DarkHyren]

Is it good to use ebay for comparing prices for items you are selling?It can be, however make sure to mainly use the Sold listings (found by clicking Sold Items in the refine search section) as that will show you the prices people are actually paying.
You'll find tons of "buy it now" listings for ridiculously high prices but generally those never sell, so they shouldn't be taken as evidence of the actual value of the items in question.
Obviously if the "buy it now" items are around the same price as the sold listings then yes, you can use those to get your values.

I couldnt find sold listings on my phone so used whats for sale. What are real gear tfs worth?

If you're on the mobile , use the filter button on the left hand side and select completed listings then done. Should work that way.

[DarkHyren]

What are real gear tfs worth?It depends on the character but in general loose real gears have sold from between approx $6 to $30 with an average of about $15-16.
Sealed go for more as one would expect, between $13 to $48 with the average being about $25-27.

A few more tips. While ebay can give you an idea of prices, when making a private sale most people will reduce that price by 10% to compensate for not having to pay ebay sales fees.
Contrariwise if they take paypal they may then increase the price by 3-5% to cover fees (most will mention when doing this).
And lastly, when selling in bulk most people will reduce the total price further (all depends on demand or how quickly the seller wants the items gone) in order to entice buyers.

Is $75 for a (MISB) ROTF Mindwipe a good price?

[GoktimusPrime]

Is $75 for a (MISB) ROTF Mindwipe a good price?
Negative.

[Jetfire in the sky]

Is $75 for a (MISB) ROTF Mindwipe a good price?

That's about sold market price on ebay, however private sales should at least be 12-15% less than that, so a $65 price would be ball park, obviously box condition and a few other factors are important.

What would the ideal price for a YotG Soundwave be these days? I really should've paid attention to it when it was on clearance at Myer for $99 ugh

Oh and what would the ideal price for a Hasbro MP-02 with a broken finger be? Someone's asking $250 for theirs on Facebook but not sure if that's reasonable or not.

I'd go $150ish posted for YOTG Soundwave. Being a left field colour scheme, it didnt set the place on fire when it was released.

As for the MP02, $250 isn't *too* bad considering if you were to go the Takara route you'd need to buy Soundwave then fork out extra for the 2 cassette packs which do add up... but that broken finger? That's the sort of stuff that would keep me up at night.

Awesome, thank you so much. There's a YotG Soundwave going for $210 that I was considering but could probably get it for less than that.

I asked about the finger and they replied that "its just where the nubs that connect the finger to hand are loose". Doesn't seem too bad but yea, not sure.

[Bidoofdude]

Anyone got a rough ballpark of what Encore Sky Lynx (MIB) and YOTH MP Optimus go for? I’m thinking with a lot of this year looking impossible for work with extended lockdown, I’m probably gonna have to sell off some stuff to be able to meet the rest of my Unicron cost.

My YOTH does unfortunately have a few issues, including a breakage on a smoke stack (fixed seemingly seamlessly) and some scratches on the back of a hand (no idea how that happened).

[nalops]

Would 6 WST loose and complete be worth 150 + postage? They're OP, Megatron, Jazz, Soundwave, Starscream and Thrust.

[Autocon]

How much should leo prime MP cost? Theres one at zing.

[spiderken17]

So i was cleaning out my wardrobe and i found a 2010 SDCC Blaster/cassettes re-issue that i completely forgot i had. They are on ebay for a couple hundred bucks which seems exorbitant, anyone have an idea on a realistic value?

[GoktimusPrime]

*blows dust off post*

There's no such thing as an MP Leo Prime, but if you're talking about MP Lio Convoy then you're looking at about $262 before post. So Zing's price isn't that bad considering. :)

[Sinnertwin]

Look around though for MP Lio C, EB/Zing is quite exorbitant with certain items. OMP for instance has it for about $225'ish delivered.
YMMV depending on who you choose to shop with.

These days, I'd say about -$150 give or take a few bucks should see it move.

[Tha_Phantom]

You can get a Masterpiece Leo Prime off HLJ (yes Gok you actually can ;)), but I'd go with OMP as Sinn said.

Ta, i thought around 125-150.

[nsm034]

Looking at selling a few masterpieces but some of the prices vary a lot. Trying to sell them for a fair price and not rip off anyone. Mp24 star sabre, Mp 22 ultramagnus ( first run) , mp 21 g and mp 21 r and Hasbro MP 02 soundwave seem to be the ones with the biggest price fluctations. All are MISB also. Thanks

Agree with Sinner...if sealed. around $150

OOOOOO do we have some friction here? ;-)

[Jaxius._]

I saw someone on Facebook looking for UW Guardia/Defensor i paid around $300 for it originally i think but just wondering how much it’s worth?

About the same. There's one in the sales yard MISB for $285.
I dont see them being worth much more than that.

Anyone have any idea of the value of a loose complete Euro G1 Fearswoop?

[Jaxius._]

Anyone have any idea of the value of a loose complete Euro G1 Fearswoop?

I sold a near complete one for around $30 a few years ago


Anyone know the rough value of x9 ravage (misb i think I haven’t got it yet)
Got one in a trade and if i sell it want to know a rough price, research shows 300-400usd

:eek:
Ebay shows that a loose complete one sold for about $380 AUD

And currently there are two MIB ones for between $650 and $700.

[Barakas]

Any ideas what a MOSC vintage Skydive is worth? I'm having trouble finding a price due to them being available as a re-release.

[Firestorm]

What's a fair price for a unopened Takara Animated Voyager Wingblade Optimus Prime or the standard Hasbro Voyager Optimus Prime?

[Choos]

What would be a reasonable price for a (genuine) MP-21 Bumble? I see one on eBay from SA for $150 including postage but that seems a little excessive to me.

That doesn't seem unreasonable if it's MISB given how the MP market goes. But if he's open though, yes, seems excessive to me also.

Appreciate the quick reply, copied from eBay:

"Condition

Figure is in good used condition, joints are tight, paint is good; transforms well. Right rear view mirror doesn't affix properly, needs pin pushed in (as pictured). Box has some small scratches (please see photos of actual item)

Postage and Handling

As a standard, I will offer postage in an eBay flat rate box. The item will be lined with bubble wrap and/or packing peanuts and secured to best try to prevent damage. This option will ensure tracking on all sent items and provide better buyer protection. Signature on delivery is also available for an additional $3.00."

Every review I have watched (and my G2 Gold Bumble) shows only the left review mirror plugs in for vehicle accuracy and the other mirror is actually a spare.

[Skullcruncher]

Anyone have pricing advice for these RID figures, need to sell. All are opened but all havnt been touched in years. Quillfire only has 1 of 2 accessories.

https://i.ibb.co/9YJ8rX8/IMG-1669.jpg

[Autocon]

I thought those dcon designs were quite unique and awesome

[Skullcruncher]

Yeah I think they differ a little to the western releases? Not really sure as I got them for the kids then they never used them!

[Choos]

May well be a silly question but anyone know a reasonable price to pay for a SS86 Grimlock? I saw one for A$240 which seems a lot but I don’t really know.

[JJJ]

Well, that's around a 250% increase in what it sold for only two years ago, at mass-market retail on pretty much every shelf it might be imagined on. There will be tens of thousands of the things out there.

Seems unreasonable to me, and I would guess that it can be found elsewhere for a lot less if you are patient and look around. In fact if you search for "studio series Grimlock" instead of "ss86 Grimlock" on ebay (https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=studio+series+grimlock+-kit&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&LH_PrefLoc=2&_sop=16) you can get it for a lot less from within Australia (although yes there is a late tax - I'd grab this one (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/166060552476) if it were me).

Thank you on both accounts!

[Choos]

Was watching one (here in Ozstralia) and it indeed went for in excess of A$240. Kinda hope they reissue this one.

[Jaxius._]

Hey I’m thinking of selling my LG Ginrai and Godbomber set, they are the individual releases, i have a friend interested and was looking into prices, ebay sold listings are around $500 which seems high personally but i also can’t remember what i paid on release so maybe it’s not as bad as it seems?

Anyway wondering what they retailed for and maybe what people recently sold them for
