Price check

Hey everybody,

I've started selling off my collection to finance my move to Japan next year.

Curious what reasonable prices would be for the following items:
eHobby Astrotrain (MIB, some stickers applied)
Micron Legend Convoy (MIB)
Micron Legend Jetfire (MIB)
Micron Legend Ultra Magnus (MIB)
Galaxy Convoy (MIB)
MA-21 Battle Mode Optimus Prime (Loose, mint)
Impossible Toys Valkyrie
Botcon 2000 Maximals poster
Botcon 2000 Predacons poster

Thanks for any and all input

Astrotrain can probably net you at least $300, possibly a good bit more. Dunno about the others.

Cool, thanks. That's about what I had in mind.
So, anyone else have any input?

.. Please?

According to completed eBay auctions, Galaxy Convoy went for $121 and $180 (

), but they are in the USA. Sealed Armada Jetfire seems to be around $50? I am sure Micron Legend version fetches more even if it's opened.

You can probably sell galaxy Convoy for $100 or so in Japan, even Micron Legend Convoy might net you some cash (they are both too big to carry along, I know

)

Good luck with the move and I hope someone else will chime in and give you more pricing help

Selling Japanese TFs to finance a move to Japan.

Almost poetic.

Gonna try my best with these.

Okay, his Astrotrain has been opened, and the sealed ones on ebay for $300ish aren't moving, so he may want to list it a tad lower.

I see two active listings for $600 and $325. One completed, but it's AFA graded for $700. I wouldn't go much under $300 honestly, unless it's missing something.

Only a nut would pay $700, even if it's AFA. It's a reissue that is fetching same money as some original figures...It may be desired, but not that much.

One of the reasons why I can't bring myself to fork out this much of $$$ for that eHobby Astrotrain...

Look at all the eHobby pieces & it's not difficult to see just how many of those have been "reissued" again. (TFC Book Reissues, Encore etc.)

You risk spending all that $$$ only to have the Makers release it again in due time.

Looking for any version of Armada Deluxe Optimus Prime or WfC Prime, blue Armada Firebot and pretty much any BM Vehicon or Energon Terrorcon molds, or JustiToys Dinorobot or Junkion Blacksmith's Tactical Officer (or Hyper Mode). Also looking for Armada Tidal Wave's missiles. PM me if you have any spares of these please!
