Hi,

New to forum, hope this finds the right spot..

I have collected most of my old TF stuff and wondered if anyone could give me some advice on listing it. I usually just throw stuff on ebay for .99 and see how high it goes but I thought I might ask for advice first. I'll try to include pictures.

Not broke items pictured on the PC everything else is partially broken. The yellow one is just missing the spoiler in the back. The grey one says Fair Lady Z on the front. I'm going to go back to my parents and try to track down the optimus prime and broke megatron gun but i think they probably dissapeared years ago.. could anyone give me a reasonable expectation of all things sold together here or on ebay? should I split it up at all? Thanks alot. Please let me know.... Jack :CON: If you help perhaps I can sell u something if you need it..

You have Go-Bots and Transformers there. The majority of what you have are broken and a lot of the parts are very used. You could try selling them part by part, that would be your best bet of making the most money. However you could stick it up on Ebay, the entire lot as a parts lot and maybe if you are lucky make $50 to $60.

Sell it all separately. All those guns and missiles can fetch you decent sum after all is said and done. A lot of work though. Photographing and writing up auction info though.

On second thought......sell as a lot. Too much work otherwise. Expect 50 to 100 is my guesstimate.

broken G1 stuff is worth butkiss now. You could have got a tidy sum in about 1999 before all the reissues came out. Sorry man.

Thanks everyone. I didn't know they reissued the old toys. I'll probably do the whole lot.

you might do OK with Sunstreaker though, who was only re-issued once in 1990 (his mould was too degraded to be re-issued after that)

Good luck!

i thought the 911 that said fairlady z on the front might be kind of rare but it is badly broked :)

Nah, it's a standard Bluestreak by the looks of it. Sorry to pee on your chips.
