TF price guide book?

The Identification and Price Guide book is great for it's thoroughness of listings and glossy high quality pics and info but like Gok mentioned, prices change and sometimes rapidly.
It is a beautiful book just for the pictures and info though.

I'm not a fan of that book, but it is the best (and only?) one currently available in regular bookstores.

I would recommend the magazine price guides as they are updated month to month over a book published last May before the movie. But still what the price guides say and what Ebay might sell for differ greatly.

The books are better as guides to toys than as guides to prices.

If you're looking for a book with some out of focus pictures

I can't remember out of focus pics in it.

I'll retract that comment as I don't have the book on hand... but there's a lack of clarity on many photos.

You may be right. I've never looked at it page to page but rather looked up specific toys I have needed info on. Although Cliffbee.com is better than the book for that.

Damn straight!

Glad you find it useful, dude

I recommend Rampage's completed listings method. It's current and reflects actual sales.

I prefer not to use Cliffbee... (The hit count gives its owner a big head... )

searching through completed listings on ebay is my price guide

its the best way to get an idea of what that toy has sold for recently

i have the latest book by Mark Bellomo its nice for a reference of what toy is what but the prices are a bit hit & miss especially on loose figures
