It seems that prices for almost anything Joe has been seeing a decent price increase lately. Even before the virus panic kicked in I had been seeing figures on ebay go for way more then what they should. For instance about a year ago a Beach Head loose no accessories would be worth around 8-9 USD, and today he is around 10-13 USD. The prices have made me stop buying figures almost completely with the promise of the retro collection, because when I can get a brand new figure a few months from now why would I pay the same price for a Piece of Shizzle. Am I the only one who is seeing a price increase?
Also Is Outback regularly an expensive figure? I did not think he was, but I may be wrong. (The price increase seems to be increasing for both Modern, and Vintage figures,) Last edited by Stormtrooper12; 04-16-2020 at 10:40 AM.. |

Star Wars stuff seems to be going up as well. I purchased a boxed Tiger Stripe Republic Gunship on Ebay back in November for around $170 and now it’s hard to find any boxed examples for under $300 for any version of the gunship.

I think the first big price jump was back in 2018. Ever since then prices have been on a steady incline.
I just found out that Mint straight arm Scarletts are selling for like $80-$100, lol. So I'm selling mine (which is NOT mint). I've never been a big fan of that version of the figure anyway, so time to cash in. I've been slowly selling the vintage joes that I don't necessarily love, and that has fueled my Star wars collecting the past few years.

I came across a lot of three MIB 25th Anniv vehicle sets on Ebay - the Firebat, Trouble Bubble/RAM Cycle set and Armadillo/Serpentor's air chariot set - it was at something like $236 dollars for the lot. I thought that was insane. I did not see what it finally ended up going for though.
I think BeachheadMatt is on point with when the prices really started to rise astronomically. Vintage and modern era stuff is increasing for sure. It's probably better to buy figures in a lot rather than individually. The prices have put my efforts to get back into modern era stuff on hold for now. |

Prices have gone up big time. MoC 90s figures have doubled and tripled in price since 2015

Yeah, they’ve been creeping for years now. Last three years or so, I’d say toy show Joe prices in my area were 1/3 of what the eBay asking prices were. I’ve gone on eBay a number of times over the past two months trying to buy something Joe because I’m missing the toy shows and have come away empty handed each time because of prices.

I buy from my collectors buddies all the time on there and outside ebay and if you buy enough, they will work with you on prices. Joe values are going WAY up. Even the 90's figures. FSS Outback is worth some good money. Specifically the Tiger Force version

Hopefully! I'm about to sell some stuff on Ebay Saturday so I'm hoping there's some Joe interest now.

With all this said, there is still a steady stream of people on eBay, who flat out just don't realize that what they have is valuable. If you search hard enough, or wait patiently enough, you can still score some bargains. It may also require some creativity though.
