so i was hitting up ebay and i saw this G I Joe 1986 Cobra Terror Drome 100 Complete with Box | eBay
a terror drome in my area that had local pick-up as a shipping option. since this would work out in my favor i was wondering what a good bid would be for this auction? what questions should i ask? it looks good to me but i have never had this set so i don't know what to look for if there is something wrong with it. tankers, please help |

You can look under the 'sold listings' option on ebay to see what they've been selling for. But local pick-up is the best way to get a TD... it has so many delicate parts, the chances of it surviving shipping unscathed is slim.

It's a good deal. The box is worthless, but I paid $300 for a complete TD and they go for $300 to $500 still, so if you really want one, bid on it.
If the seller doesn't offer returns then make sure they get insurance on it. |

why not? if you want one.
it looks to have some sun damage, but most do I guess. this would be a good option since you can pick it up. message him and see if you can get him to take $200.

I think it looks like its in great shape. Box is in bad shape, but is still cool. I didn't see any sun damage.... I'd buy it, but I have 3 already.

also the blue rampart piece in the middle of the third pic shows to be a little sundamaged as well. it is a darker blue than both pieces to its side. another rampart, the one on the left in the third pic, looks to have some acetone damage? or serious stress marks. they are the white marks. I don't think that is a glare. its nice to have it complete without any serious broken pieces though. I guess you could offer more. it all depends on how much you want it.

I had one, but had to get rid of it because it took up too much space. Just make sure you have the room for it, it is huge!

It's a great piece to build upon, as CV says, there's some yellowing, so you may change pieces, but seeing the price I'd go for it!

If you can pick it up, Do It! I had my TD shipped from the Kansas and it was broken by the time it got to me. It is a Great Playset!
