    For a million AUD?? yes
    For triple the market price? yes
    For less than triple the market price? definitely no...

    too many hours scouring ebay, ninja bidding in the last 10 seconds at 3 in the morning, paying all the postage, putting up with crappy ebay sellers, filing claims with paypal, putting up with all the BS from wheeljackslab....hell no... i aint never doing that again. My time and health is worth a lot lot more nowadays than double of my collection...

    Plus some of the stuff i have just arent even available for purchase again even if i had more than double the cash to pay for it...

    I'd sell anything if the price is right, so yeah I would sell my TFs, or a kidney.

    I'd sell them in an instant. They are just toys after all.

    Yeah, like this, for me it's simple economics. I don't want to give up the toys, so whatever I would net would be used to replace said toys, plus the expense of doing so. So, about 3x sounds right.

    What he said.

    Not sure what price I would ask for (I think almost anyone would sell for $1milllion), but it would have to be a lot to cover the effort.

    Some of the G1 toys include Bumblejumper, 2 mint Swoops, 2 Fort Max (one with box), MIB Prime etc...

    As well as the toys, I have a large collection of original G1 tech specs, instructions, robot points, flyers, posters, stickers, cards, comics (including the US and UK #1's), backing cards, board games, puzzles, the C64 game, the Japanese NES game, read along audio tape, a read along record, original 1986 movie soundtrack CD, books, pens, watch, an animation cel of Megatron(original, not a Rhino thing), Optimus AM radio, original VHS tapes and more.

    If someone offered me a worthwhile amount to buy all of this, my next problem would be to find someone else selling a similar collection for less
