    I put some goods for sale in my local online classified section, and I have to people that came to me with the same offer, which is 80$. The figures I have are loose complete except for Prowl and Thrust (No instructions)
    Those are the following figures I am selling. And at the same time, I have another member waiting for my payment in order for him to ship the items.

    Universe (Prowl, Smokescreen, Bluestreak)
    Generations Classics (Thrust, Thundercracker)
    Universe 2.0 (Starscream)
    Reveal of the Shield (Jazz)

    So 80$ is reasonable or I could get more,

    thanks

    At $80, you're pretty much selling them for retail, if not less, given that it's 7 figures. I'd think you could get $100 or more for them pretty easily.

    You're getting ripped off if they're still in good shape.

    $150 is a more reasonable price for all of those figures combined.

    I haven't been able to find the datsun bro's for less than 30 shipped on ebay. I have been watching for about 3 months. I think you can get more.

    They are loose, only displayed never played. We all know Prowl's leg problems, Bluestreak and Smokescreen are more reliable when standing.

    I guess, I can put a sells thread here, but how do I know the real price?

    Of course the people buying the figures think it's a good deal.

    You have to factor in that these are not available at retail anymore as well.

    I'd sell them for $100 minimum if I was feeling generous, but honestly you could probably get as much as $150. Each of them could easily go for at least $20.

    Was he box sealed? or loose? it makes a difference

    That's what I paid for the figures,

    Universe Prowl: Was given to me for free
    Universe Bluestreak and RTS Jazz: 60$ for both with shipping
    Universe Smokescreen: 25$ with shipping
    Generations Classics: 39$ with shipping
    Generations Classics Thrust: 10$ local pickup
    Universe 2.0 Starscream: 25$ with shipping

    They are loose

    The best place to see the current prices is go just browse ebay and see what they got for MISB and loose. That or you can just sell them for what you feel their worth. Any loose Classics figure can most likely demand at least $25. The seekers tend to go for much higher. You could sell all of them individually for $30 and it would be reasonable.

    I say ebid because you can open auctions free and there's only a 3% final value fee rather than ebay's 10% Or you could get them on a public forum somewhere and biid against each other that way for free.

    ebid is asking me for a shipping price, I don't know the measurements. Starting bid is 50$ so if there is one bidder, I have to sell for 50$

    You're going to get less if you sell them is a lot. Just the way it is as most aren't looking for all the figs in the set. And if you sell them on ebay, you're going to pay about 15% in fees plus shipping. Piece them out and you'll get more. Sell as a lot and you'll probably get $80-100 after fees and shipping.

    I paid $30 for each Datsun brother. i forget what for Starscream and Thrust, but probably $25. Jazz I actually got pretty cheap. CHUG stuff of the early era can net you some dollars, man. There are people out there like me that really want to go back and do that line. And I did, but it wasn't cheap!
