Hey I found 3 1984 suitcases, they fit inside each other. They are grey with a pic of prime on them there in mint condition. Just wondering if they are worth anything. Will post pics if anybody asks. Thanks...
I'm not in any position to say yes or no, but from what I understand, generally if it's G1 and in good condition it's worth something.
The Image of Optimus prime is G1, so they more than likely are. as for value its hard to say on something like this as its not a figures and quite unusual, your best bet is to slap up on ebay and see what they go for.
Does any one have any idea of a rough price i could start this on ebay. Most of the G1 stuff is around $100 .
According to a search for completed auctions on Ebay, I saw ONE auction, which didn't even get a bid at $33... Transformers Suitcase 1984 | eBay
It might be that they had no picture. Here are some better pics DSC00341 by steve0527, DSC00343 by steve0527, DSC00344 by steve0527, DSC00345 by steve0527, DSC00346 by steve0527, on Flickr
The problem is that those suitcases will appeal to a much more limited collector group, so it would be a much tougher sale. They look like they are in great shape, though! I would probably bid on them if I ran across them on eBay.
Yeah, and being in great shape is definitely a good selling point, and so could having multiples. Also, even if ebay doesn't work, you could always make TFW a habit & sell/trade em in the Junkion section, where you've got a whole pool of TF collectors viewing every day.
