I collect a lot of lines, and this is the first time I've ever felt like it's possible to regularly find bargains. I don't just mean cheap toys -- I mean that there is a wide range of prices out there, and it's possible to buy something for $30 that you frequently see for $70.
Sometimes, with loose samples, it's a matter of condition. But sometimes I don't think that's why -- I think some people radically overcharge, some people undercharge, and there just isn't as much consensus, for whatever reason, that vintage Joe toys can put your kids through college. With SW collecting, of course, it's nearly impossible to get anything for a reasonable amount unless it's in terrible shape. But I've found that a little patience and pickiness with Joe toys often pays off. It's possible to fill holes in an old collection without breaking the bank. Law |

Absolutely. I have a rule and it is: I will not pay no more than 15 bucks for a figure. Most of the time I pay 5 bucks and I look for bargains. 99% of my figures are mint and complete and I followed that rule 100%
Some of the figures I got was a Skymate (missing just his boomerang-$10), Lady J (complete, mint-$3), Destro (mint,complete-$10), Duke (mint, complete-$15) and many more. Now is the time to buy and invest in vintage Joes. As they say it is a buyers market. |
