So, I have a guy that said he would sell me thing rather large vehicle lot for around $50. Only one of the vehicles is complete and thats the D.E.M.O.N. I believe. Everything else is missing most/all of its pieces. There are vehicles like the Snowcat, Arctic Blast, Tiger Shark, etc. About 10-13 total, none being any bigger than the D.E.M.O.N. in size. I'm on the fence about it really. Is it worth it? I'll still have to spend who knows how much to track down all the pieces for each vehicle. I don't have but a few vehicles. I'm rather new getting into collecting again after selling off my stuff years ago.
What are your thoughts? |

My first thought is $50 ain't bad. My second thought is I'd need to see pictures. Third thought would be asking if I was satisfied with the vehicles in that condition, or would I eventually end up spending more to complete them. When I got back into collecting (both Joes and TFs) I picked up a few semi-junk lots simply because the stuff was neat to have after all those years. Going back, some of it I'd still buy, but most of it I kinda wish I had saved my money.

The D.E.M.O.N. is a great vehicle, but it isn't worth 50$.
Ask yourself this, do you really want the other stuff in the lot? If you do, then its for you. But if you want one item, I'd wait around. |

Pends on how much stuff is missing from each vehicle. If the DEMON is the only complete thing then forget about it. But if you can scrap the other stuff together pretty easily then go for it.

Get an exact list of each vehicle and what is missing/broken. Do a quick ebay search to see how much the pieces are going for (or somethign close enough to make a good estimate).
Add it all up. Then decide if $50 plus what you'd be spending to "finish" the other vehicles is worth it.

To keep control of how much I spend onJoes. I cut out all pre-25th Joe stuff. And only buy the 25th figs and beyond. So I would not buy them.

Thanks for all the replies. 90% of the vehicles are missing every little thing that can be removed. I think I'll pass on it since I really prefer complete stuff.
Thanks again for the input. |

That's the call I would've made. It's better to try to buy vintage stuff complete than hunt down parts.
