Transformers Collection for sale on *PAWN STARS*

[Tropisetron]

Hi

Love watching the Show - came across this and thought u guys might be interested.

TF Toys for sale

Pretty cool eh?

anyone would take it off his hands for $20,000?

In all fairness, looking at the condition of them, you could probably get between 20 and 25 grand out of it, so it's a fair buy. Furthermore, it's obvious the guy looking to buy wasn't interested in a fair deal. I mean 5 grand in labour with a bunch of ebay auctions when there are multiples of the same figure? Give me a break.

Just goes to show why selling to someone who doesn't understand the market isn't a good idea.

Why doesn't he just sell em separately on eBay? Has this episode aired on local tv (7?) yet?

[JuzMel]

OMG! I just enjoyed watching the abundance of his collection especially those rare items! Look at those Fort Max!!

But really, he'd gain more selling them individually on eBay.

[Sharky]

is this an old piece?, i remeber seeing this a while ago and wondering the same thing... why not sell it himself individually.. and the host has no idea of value.... or he was looking to rip off the owner..

There was already a thread on it:

Yea I remember seeing that ages ago.

IMO, the host is either clueless as to the value of TFs, or is just a mongrel and trying to rip him off.

just a mongrel and trying to rip him off.

Considering that the toy seller expert he got in gave him the value of it that he did, I'd have to say the later.

I'd say he doesn't really know what he's looking at, if I was the guy that he got in to appraise it, I'd be telling him 15 so I could go back later and offer him $20. then take them for myself.

WOW What a Collection.You could make 10 k easy of just the larger pieces. of course keeping one of each for yourself

Completely disagree. The guy was claiming at least 5k worth of labour which I don't buy and then using that to offer him $5k for the lot, when the entire thing was worth 20k.

There's was nothing clueless about it- just pure thumbscrewing. Good on the owner of the collection for telling him where to go.
