    What would an almost complete collection of Alternators go for? I've got Wheeljack, Mirage, Prowl, BT Meister, BT blue Tracks, Skids, Hound, Smokescreen, Swindle, Windcharger, Prime, Silverstreaker, Decepticharge, Shockwave, Swerve, Grimlock, Ravage 1.0, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Prowl. All in great condition, only displayed, and transformed only a few times. I have all the boxes as well. So what do you think that this lot is worth?

    you mentioned Prowl twice.

    Some of the key figures that your missing though, are: Nemesis Prime, Camshaft, Dead End, and Hot Rodimus. Not to mention your missing Ravage 2.0, Rumble, Rollbar and Richochet.

    So, I'd say your still missing quite a few Alternators.

    I'd say your Lot could be sold for about $200.00 (if you sell them right) sell the 2 Binaltech figures on their own, and you'll get more.

    Though, they are considered "loose" I believe.

    I tend to agree. I've noticed that Alternators can be had for pretty cheap lately, at least on Ebay.

    Not much thanks to Classics, unfortunately.

    I have to disagree with Master Blaster. A whole lot of folks still want the Alternator and Binaltechs toys. there's still a ton of people out there that collect diecast Cars so these still tend to reel them in. and the fact they transform into robots just blows their minds still.

    Trust me, they are still desired even if only for Custom fodder. The prices vary for each one and some to this day can still be obtained brand new for $25.00, heck if you look at BBTS, they still have plenty still MISP for pretty cheap. But because these are being sold as an incomplete loose out of box lot, I have to agree in that you won't get much. that was why I tossed the $200.00 out there. $200.00 is a very generous price.

    Then point me their way, because I've being trying to sell my last four off for two years! I paid £20 for Hound and Tracks back in the day, but now there's just no one that wants them, or at least, nobody who's willing to pay for international shipping for them.



    Good luck getting rid of Prime. Guy's like an STD.




    And no, no matter how many threads you state it in, a figure with its box is MIB. The box and the toy can be graded on condition seperately, but if the box is there it's MIB. It's only loose if there's no box. Cards are a little different, but not worth talking about.

    Yea the 200 is fair for an open box lot. I would sell them all separate or in small groups to make the most. The BT's and Alt Swerve are your most valuable.

    Well, they're not the most interesting toys from the line and they're pretty common, so...
