    Default Been collecting for a few months, what is this all worth?

    Hey guys, just wondering what all of this is worth, i have a friend that collects retro things and he says the dinobot is pretty collectable, and im sure the rest is worth something

    Anyone that can give me an estimate on each batch of these would be very appreciated, and make an offer if you like

    So ive uploaded in different batches of similar items, please let me know any stand out items, or the worth of these items in general please

    regards

    Nick

    A lot of those toys aren't Transformers.

    They all seem loose and I don't see accessories with them - so that will decrease their aftermarket value. Warpath never came with accessories and he looks to be in good nick, but Warpath has never been worth heaps -- and I imagine he would be worth less since he was reissued a couple of years ago.

    Bombshells seems to be missing stickers. Does Blades still have all of his helicopter blades? (i.e. none of them have snapped off?)

    Snarl looks to be in good nick -- especially the condition of the chrome, but again, I don't see any weapons. But I suspect he may be, as you friend said, the most valuable figure in that lot.

    If you're interested in selling Transformer toys I would suggest showing photos of the toy in all modes so that potential buyers know that there's nothing wrong with the other modes and that the toys are fully capable of transformation (e.g. no missing heads, hands etc.)

    That's Broadside in his jet mode.

    Given that both Silverbolt and Broadside both suffer from acrophobia, I'd say they're both hanging around the grounded Qantas fleet atm.

    I'd recommend splitting into a lot of GoBots and a Lot of Transformers.
    as for how much you'd get, that really depends on interest at the time. personally I don't know enough about aftermarket value on those toys to really even guess.

    Well Silverbolt's been grounded for the last 8 years. I'm not sure where that leaves the rest of the Aerialbots. I love the way you worked in a QANTAS reference though

    *This is the same picture as the one above and therefore contains the same figures.

    (From Left to Right, Background to Foreground)


    (From Left to Right, Background to Foreground)


    *Wasn't able to find anything looking like this one, it doesn't appear to be a Transformer or Gobot figure.

    (From Left to Right, Background to Foreground)
    • (Gobots) 80s Renegade - Scorp
    • (Transformers) G1 Decepticon, Insecticon - Bombshell


    (From Left to Right, Background to Foreground)
    • (Transformers) G1 Autobot, Dinobot - Snarl



    (From Left to Right, Background to Foreground)
    • (Transformers) G1 Autobot, Aerialbot - Silverbolt
    • (Transformers) G1 Autobot, Triplechanger - Broadside


    As for their values; they vary a quite a bit depending on completeness, condition and character, as Goktimus points out, the Transformers would be worth a little bit more than the Gobots in my opinion but your best bet would be to jump onto eBay and have a look at some of the prices being asked for each figure in a similar condition to the ones you have - then apply a median/average of those prices to your own figures.

    I hope this has been a little bit of a help to you mate.
