ooohhhh kay.
I'm a 36 year old that has re-entered school, something that is humiliating to deal with when you go to class with 19 year olds... but is something I am really proud of. But anyway, I am trying to find a marketing study of something I am interested in, and could really use help. Can you guys answer a few questions for me? 1.> when was the 1st year you bought GI Joe Toys? 2.> how many years collectively have you bought GI Joe toys? 3.> if someone showed up at your house with $10000 in cash, and asked you to sell all your GI Joe toys... would you? Thanks, I will post my paper this summer if anyone wants to read it. |

Hey man I'm 36 and also back in school. I finished my AS degree when I was 31 now I'm going back for my Masters.
but to answer your questions. 1. 1982 was the first year I ever bought a Joe Toy. 2. I would say about 15 years total I've been buying joe toys but that was with a decade or so break in between. 3. No I wouldn't sell ALL of them but I would sell them a good deal of them. Most of my stuff is customized now anyway.

I'm sure the first year i bought a joe was in 82. I have collected joes for a total of 10 years. 10,000 would pay a lot of bills so yeah being as my colection is small and no vintage stuff i'd sell it.

1.> 1982
2.> about 20 there were a few off years since 82 for sure. 3.> Not a chance, it's a nice round number and all but with out even factoring in the time and effort that's gone into my collection it's a pretty low ball number.

I got my first Joe Toy in 86, was mostly into reading the comics and buying as I "grew" out of Transformers and Star Wars. Collected they I'd say until high school, 4 years, and then I've now been collecting for 3. Total of 7 years. I only have 25th and ME stuff, albeit alot and 1 of everything MOC, but nah, I like rotating stuff out of my 10 inch X5 inch display area so no, I wouldn't sell. All stuff is kept at parents house in boxes in closets, THEY would sell for $10.00

1982. I was only a few years old, but I got straight arm Rock n Roll.
1982-1998 and then 2007-2011, so about 20 years out of my 31. Probably not. I think my collection is worth at least that on eBay, and I don't need the money so bad that I would be willing to start from scratch. |

1. first Joe was Torpedo, first vehicle was Water Moccasin. dont remember the exact year but it would have been 84 or 85
2. from those first toys up until I graduated high school in 91, bits and pieces from the 00-01 stuff. really started buying again in 07. 14 years total? 3. at this point in my life i probably would sell them all for the 10k. the convenience of getting a fair price for all of it in one shot would be to good to pass up. i'd keep torpedo & the water moccasin though. Congrats on being back in school. I'm 37 and returned last year to finish an AS in Criminal Justice I started back in 93. I'll be done with that this semester and have started working on a BS in Environmental Science. Last edited by Topside; 04-06-2011 at 03:32 PM.. |

1. when was the 1st year you bought GI Joe Toys?
Well, I obtained my first in 1984 (Ace with Skystriker). Bought my own in 1992. (Don't know if that makes a difference.) 2. how many years collectively have you bought GI Joe toys? Sporadically over the years until about three years ago, so I'd have to say...15 3. if someone showed up at your house with $10000 in cash, and asked you to sell all your GI Joe toys... would you? Yes, in a heartbeat. That's more than I've invested for sure. I can always repurchase, start over, or have a good reason to just give it up for good. |
