The Price Check/What is it worth Thread

Does anyone know what the YOTS stuff is going for nowdays. Ebay is all over the show. Cheers

I'm looking at selling MP-04 Convoy and MP-05 Megatron, they've got their Takara boxes, manuals etc and are generally in great condition.

There is the usual amount of weathering on their die cast areas, and I noticed Optimus has a small silver plastic pipe on the back of his leg that has broken at some stage.

What kind of price do they go for these days, eBay isn't being much help?

Is there much interest for the DW G1 comics? Got a stack I'd like to get rid of, but Ebay prices are all over the place with quite a difference between the US and AU prices. Not really sure what I should be aiming for.

Guessing $250 - $300 for Mp04 maybe $150- $200 for megs. Anyone else feel happy to correct me ?

What would be the going rate for a G1 Scorponok? Presumably complete and good condition.

Around $400 I reckon.

Not a whole lot I imagine, I've been collecting a few but I've never spent more than a couple dollars an issue, when I've paid for them. Some are a bit fancier and probably worth more.
I'm not sure that I'm looking for any myself. I was trying to finish off their energon/armada series that never made it to trade paperback.

I bought one from a member here a few years ago for about $280. some chrome wear but otherwise very good condition.

Just out of sheer curiosity, I wonder what the average aftermarket price for MP Alert is given the recent reissue. I recently acquired a G2 MP Lambor for 5000JPY (AU$63); same condition as the MP Alert being sold here (loose mint in box). I was surprised to see that the aftermarket price for this toy had depreciated from its original RRP of 6500JPY (AU$82). As I said, I paid about $100 for my MISB MP Alert off the aftermarket. But perhaps it's because MP G2 Lambor is essentially just a variant of a main MP toy (MP12) and also based on a less popular* rendition of that character whereas Alert, coming from early G1 (and also featuring in the G1 cartoon) enjoys far greater popularity (and thus demand).

Or is this simply a natural price difference between a mint sealed toy and a loose mint toy? I'm not a sealed collector, but for those who are, would a toy not being mint sealed command a significantly lower price? e.g. working off $100 for a MISB MP Alert then what would be a reasonable price for a LMIB MP Alert?

As you all know I rarely buy anything off the aftermarket, but I must confess that this discussion has piqued my curiosity. Thoughts?

*As awesome as the G2 comics were, we know that it wasn't a strong seller being axed after only 12 issues. And the G2 franchise as a whole was arguably the lowest point in the Transformers brand.

Seconded. I am looking at swapping out my YOTG Soundwave when the reissue arrives in December.

Thanks
