Is $85.00 a good price for g1 calcar complete with box and instructions?
If it's in good condition, then yes. You could find Calcar for cheaper, but I would say the box and instructions are hard to find these days.Quote:

I received an average of 5 requests per day from people I have never ever spoken to on boards and emails, which I consider a lot because I don't even get a blip of such interest when I post stuff I think is rare like C-350: Rabbicrater, God Primus, etc. Even Minelba only gets the occasional mention or request to sell.
I thought, what in the world? What's with this piece? Is it really that rare and desirable?
With that in mind, I have 2 questions:
1. What is your view on its rarity compared to other rare G1 TFs (eg: Artfire, dino-casettes) and compared to other rare diaclone pieces (eg: blue Bluestreak, white Sunstreaker, red/black Tracks, blue Swoop)?
2. What do you think is a reasonable price?

How much would one expect to fork out to get a decent D-306 Hydra and Buster set?
Seen them for about $500 - $600 I think because its usually around half that for the separate ones.Quote:

You should be able to get one shipped for just a bit less than $100.Quote:

These three are MISB Buy It Now for $104AU shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TRANSFORMERS-...item3a54438032
You could make an offer on this MISB one - even at its most expensive this would only be $110AU shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TRANSFORMERS-...item4aab6efefb
Hopefully I can get $80 shipped for overcharge, if no one else bid: :p

I'm gonna bid just to annoy you :pQuote:

$50 is exactly what I paid for my own dude and it was sans missiles, I've seen it go for much more though - $70 to $100. :eek:Quote:

Hmmm, maybe I should get it. But I bought something for you instead, but I dunno if you are gonna want it. One of the figures (I realise now) is a BM figure, but the other is a BW figure at least.Quote:

The BW figure intrigues me, I just hope it isn't Heinlad or Cohrada as they're currently on their way. :o
I'm pretty positive the BM is one you might want, he is a cool figure, and really cool coulour scheme. The BW figure is not either of those, so you are safe :)Quote:

I'd pay $30 for each. $35 tops.Quote:

Btw, how much would people be willing to pay for:
+ Loose TF1 Leader Optimus Prime
+ Loose ROTF Leader Optimus Prime
?
Thank you.
A lot, in that they come up extremely rarely and in Eletelephoney's case it's the only version of the mould that doesn't have GPS. I suspect I know which auction you're looking at - first I'd see if you can get a more reasonable shipping quote.Quote:

My Drancron is here - sadly it looks like Imageshack has eaten the photo of him in beast mode:

My line of thinking was to get the harder to acquire BW II/Neo figures out of the way 1st, be that for availability or cost reasons, so that I could concentrate on the easier stuff later as a significant portion of both lines are purely retool/repaints anyway. :cool:
Elephorca/Elephorpha, either way he's a cool looking bugger and like TM Megatron enjoys the benefit of proper Japanese materials testing but I am very glad to say that both my BW Grimlock and Torca are in great condition considering this - I wish I could say the same for my Pink-Toed friend... :o
(Crap, gotta get that out to Kup! :eek:)
What would everyone pay for a complete countdown micro master and omega spreem gun/track?
How much is a MIB Takara Tentakill with foam insert and intact sticker sheet complete and with all paperwork worth?
I've been offered one for $112 incl post
I sold an Overbite in much similar condition as you described for $95.Quote:

Guys
How much would you expect to pay for a Takara Galaxy Force Giftset Ex-02 Sonic Convoy - loose or MISB?
Boxed, I'd say around $300. Loose maybe $250? It's the only way to get three very pretty toys, but obviously you could get the same basic moulds (except for Cobybot's head) for much less if you're not desperate for those particular decos.Quote:

i got mine 2 mths ago from a friend in Japan. It worked out to be about A$200 MISB. However, the killer is the shipping... cost me about $75 via EMS from Japan... :eek:Quote:

So I need some cash in the next 30 days and I'm considering selling the few transformers collection series I have BUT I don't know how much to put them up for. Here's the list and relative condition (from memory)
TFC 0 - complete with folder, opened, some shelf wear
TFC 1 - complete, opened, minor shelf wear
TFC 2 - complete, opened, minor shelf wear
TFC 3 - complete, opened, minor shelf wear
TFC 9 - opened, minor shelf wear, mission booklet from box
TFC 16 - complete, opened, minor shelf wear
TFC 17 - opened, minor shelf wear, missing scimitar
TFC 20 - complete, opened, very minor self wear
All I can say is TFC00 should go for 200-250.Quote:

Just asking how much these books would be? I originally bought them years ago at $40 a pop (the larger books) and the hard cover one was a little more. The smaller books at the top were slightly cheaper. Also one other point is that 'Best of Transformers' book has been signed by Simon Furman.

Also what sort of prices would people look at for these?

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...7-31144134.jpg
They are all complete (far as I know) apart from Cloudburst who is missing the helmet but they range from very good condition to decent condition.
Wow, a couple of pieces I would want :p
Sadly I can't help on prices.
What ones were you looking at?Quote:
