Dear all,
In an effort to clear space I decided it was time to let go some MISBs so I went to ebay to have a look to see what a fair pricing for some of my figures would be.
As expected most of my figures were worth more than I paid for them, but when it came to the Masterpieces I had a bit of a shock for Megatron. The price is exactly the same as I paid for him years ago, and in fact many sellers were pricing him cheaper (even for MISBs).
I know he was reissued a few times, but so was Optimus Prime, and that guy's price has just shot up. I am wondering why that is. The flimsy nature of the figure, the ridiculous and distinctly torturous and unenjoyable transformation?
Other surprises were Masterpiece Grimlock and Hot Toys Christoper Reeve Superman. Prices online are about the same as what they were when I bought them.
I don't buy with intention to sell for a profit, so I don't know (and usually don't care) what makes figure prices rise, but this sure surprised me.
