    Yes (subject to price), much as I like my TFs they're just toys.

    Yes for sure. Losing a few of them would hurt but I can pick most if not all of them up again and it'd mean really early retirement. The only ones I'm really attached to are Predaking and BW dragon Megatron, which aren't that hard to find or expensive in light of a million bucks. I'd sooner have a few investment properties and be able to retire before I'm 30 than my fairly minor collection.

    My sister just the other day said to me I should "sell them on ebay you'd make a fortune".

    For $1 million? Yes I would sell them.

    $1 million would get me closer to my current life goals than 1000 Transformer toys ever will. It would be hard to let my earliest toys go but (unfortunately) I don't have the sentimental attachment to the recent stuff by sheer of bulk of purchases.

    Of course I would let mine go for a million. But I only have a small collection so it'd work out at about $14k per figure. Bit of a no brainer, even taking into account sentimentality. and I'd probably buy them all back anyways.

    How about if you were showing your collection to a rich person and they began offering (say) more than triple market value for particular individual figures? How many do you think you'd let go?
    I think there are quite a few I would probably give up.
    Maybe use the money to buy some others I wanted more...
    TF Figs of 2023:

    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.
