    Hah! I would say $140 is being generous. I would sell them separately and start the bidding low. It's fun to see the bidding wars and when people start, they don't want to lose and end up paying more than they want.

    Yeah, $80 is a lowball offer. 125 for the lot is a fair price.

    You mean together, or individually?

    Here's Sunstreaker for $27 shipped:

    Hasbro Transformers Universe 2008 Deluxe Class Sunstreaker Classics Series | eBay

    A lot of the old Universe and Generations toys are dropping value fast. Many folks are moving to Masterpiece and newer collectors are just buying what's on the shelf now rather than getting the older stuff.

    I mean, I saw someone in the thread said to ask for $30 for each one. Universe Prowl is not even worth close to $30 these days unless its brand new and sealed. I expect the value to start dropping even further in the future too, many of the collectors with deep pockets are going full MP and everyone else is just giving $15 to Hasbro for the new version.

    eBid is crap for getting any kind of traffic to your auction, but I was basing it as a place to let the two people who have given you offers of $80 to duke it out.

    don't charge $30 for deluxes. it's asinine and only encourages price gouging.

    There is no 'real price' beyond what people pay for something - hence all the fluctuations on E-Bay. You may have more luck here, you may not.

    Seeing that this is a forum for Transformers collectors, though, it is probable that a larger number of people prepared to pay more than what you have been offered so far will see your advertisement.

    I'm going to start a thread here and put it on another TF forum boards as well, the prices are based on eBay pricing?

    You can do whatever you want, but IMO, if you want ebay prices, then list them on eBay. If you want to sell them here, list them reasonably as you're not paying the eBay fee. Also, when gathering your eBay price data, use completed, sold listings...not what some random BIN listing is dreaming of getting.
