It's a good rule of thumb that if a figure comes with a knife, small pistol, microphone, antenna, walkie talkie, etc, those parts are more valuable than the rest of the gear and figure combined.
Hear hear. It's crazy how expensive a figure becomes because of those small pieces. It turns Sneak Peek from a $30 figure without the mic to a $80 with. Also some of the rarer figures go crazy with the accessories, i.e. Listen n Fun Tripwire is $85-90 without accessories, and $200 plus with.
I've bought busted figures as well with complete accessories/weapons, because it is definitely cheaper to buy parts to fix the figure itself than the rare accessory, which usually goes for the same price you paid for the busted figure with all accessories. I am also not above buying a repro part if it is worth it(i.e. the Sneak Peek Mic, or a Dusty bipod).
