fan. Ah well. Now I know to be a LOT more selective.
Surprised to say, though, someone bought Deluxe Wheelie yet nobody's even asked about Bludgeon or HA Barricade.
Hmm....
The Bludgeon I dont understand. Yours is complete and priced decently. I couldnt find one at that price a year and a half ago. I think the deal with Barricade though is the modded hips. Any mods to toys takes them out of the pricing curve.
And to stay in topic of collecting transformers wherefore, here is something I could share. There is a guy in Quebec who sells his tf toys for half what he paid for them. He doesnt want to make his money back, he just doesnt need them in his house. when he is tired of them, he sells them and to sell them quickly, he puts crazy prices. He'd rather have less stuff in his house and if it helps out collectors, then he's happy. I bought Sentinel Prime Leader for 30$ cdn, same for Leader ROTF Prime. And just the other day I got this
entire lot off him, each for half of what he paid (minus the RID toys, those were just bought by me at a store the same day). But after years of having some toys up, there are some he just cant sell. So, noideaforaname, you are not alone. To give you an idea of what the market is like (and the prices he is down to, in case you want to get to e-bay), here is an idea of those toys and the price he put (which are still not selling). Remember, these are all complete with instructions and this is all canadian dollars (so take away a quarter to get the prices in US$):
