I see a lot of these sellers trying to get ridiculous prices for Joe stuff and the market isn't there for it anymore..
I personally am dumping stuff now. I have learned that things ten to drop even more over time. Had a lot of SW stuff that was fetching $$$ and fell drastically and isn't worth crap now. Sold a compete Flagg for $400 to a friend so I wouldn't have to bother paying ebay fees and having to ship it. I sold my unused Flagg for $1200 last year. Back in 2010 I had originally sold it for $2500 but they guy was a shady buyer so ebay told me I should cancel the auction with him as they had view his emails.. So in 2 year time it dropped by half and now is about the same price sometimes even lower!
I agree. Luckily I did not pay current retail for any of my GI Joes. I bought all of them before or at the point where I could go to a flea market and buy any fig I wanted complete for 5 bucks. Micky Mouse CC was $20. I would not miss my ARAH Joes now that I have so many modern era figs. Same with Transformers. I have a ton of G1 stuff but I am afraid that all of the reissues has killed the market for them. Why would some one want a beat up G1 when they can get a brand new complete reissue for the same if not less $.
All of my vintage toys have been packed away for so long I don't see the point in holding on to them. I was never expecting them to be my retirement fund, but I would love to be able to easily get rid of them for a respectable ammount. And I hate Ebay too. One of the only things I ever sold was to you. lol I love it for buying but they rape you for selling. I need to organize and take pics of all my crap. I really just want to run into a collector with unlimited funds who will take complete collections from me. Parting them out is going to kill me.
