Wow. That’s like falling into your very own toy store. I don’t collect the 12” Joes, but like other members have said, most of the vintage 12” stuff can be worth a lot of money.

Just based on what is in the pictures you have thousands of dollars worth of collectibles. If you sell in lots on eBay it will be less work for you but you won’t get as much for this. Selling as individual will be more work but more money.

I think you will definitely want to do some research and get a good sense of the value on your new collection if you decide to sell.

I DO NOT recommend taking it to a collectible toy shop because they will try to low ball you. I have literally watched it happen and it is disgusting to see people try and take advantage of people who have some things to sell but aren’t experts in what they have.

Agreed! Even the online stores will rip you off. I would say eBay or a similar service will get you the most value.

You should try to contact Joezeta on eBay. He’s the number 1 rare 12” GI Joe eBay seller and is considered one of the biggest authorities on 12” Joes.

Wow this is amazing! I myself have two boys!, 20 and 18, guess they’re men now! I was a kid of the 80’s and along with my three younger brothers played quite a bit of GI Joe, Legos, Star Wars, He-Man, Transformers etc!! So when the first son was born in 2000 I started the GI Joe collection for him. 18 months later boy number 2 and now we won’t whole hog. Our collection includes 3 3/4, Sigma 6, and a ton of 12”. We have a pretty good idea of GI joe in all forms. Do not hesitate to PM me, I am happy to help in any way. I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and can provide local help!

If you do engage someone to come over and check out the collection, do not leave them alone.

And if they offer to help you out for 'one or two things' from the collection, research what they are first.

These are musts! Especially when you don’t know who/what your working with.
