This seems like a noob question but i've been away for so long that i lost sense of much these things are worth, also, ebay isn't answering my question either as i can't find any completed auctions for G1 MISB Optimus Prime G1 MISB Megatron What do these guys go for these days ?
well they were both misb until the glue gave out. the boxes aren't colour faded at all and have the common shelfwear, i'd say about c7 each. i been searching ebay for references but incredibly no luck so far
Actually i don't want to sell them, just wanted to know their value. They were misb at some point until the glue gave out
If you didn't find anything on Ebay, you didn't look hard enough. I'd say your figures would go for $199-$250 each. The boxes aren't near C7. A die hard collector wants a perfect box and will pay much more for one without tears and folds. A mint figure in a perfect box goes for $300-400. You could get lucky and get $299 for Megatron since he is more rare. What killed the values is that you can buy a knockoff all day long for $50. Some of the knockoff boxes are indistinguishable from the original.
Plenty of info in sold EBay archives, I would think. These things are bought and sold daily. I used to do a fair amount of it. I would say $350 each. The boxes are not great but having all the accessories mint and on tree (for prime) and unused sticker sheets is a nice value boost for the right buyer. Seasonality impacts value too as the market expands during holidays as buyer come out of wood work (often wives looking to provide some nostalgia to their husbands). A $200 Megatron bought during May goes for $300 in Nov/Dec...just saying, if you did want to sell...
