Just need some feedback from some collectors! i had this lot up for sale twice now at $100 plus $15 shipping. am i asking to much for it?? they are all mint, loose, complete with all the instructions!!! i just thought it would go, am i wrong???

13 transformers!

Loose bots that are still on retail shelves MISB is a tough sell.

Plus it is likely that most fans would have at least 1 of the bots in your lot.

Best bet is to break them up to sell or keep em.

It hurts to see that G1 SS opened.

Agreed.

You'll have better luck selling them individually.

Not entirely correct. It depends on the location of the bidder. Like...my area. I just went to see what the damage was for BF at Wal-Mart and all but ten of the movie line figures were gone.

$10.00 pricepoint: Wheeljack VS. Cannonball 2-Pack x1, rest entirely GONE.
$20.00 pricepoint: Rescue Ratchet x1.
$40.00 pricepoint: Megatron x3, Brawl x1.
$70.00 pricepoint: DVD Edition Prime x2
$80.00 pricepoint: Not a single Bumblebee in sight. Not even one.

I stand corrected. Nine figures left in stock. And the shelves were near capacity last night.

If you could find a buyer around my neck of the woods, they'd pay that in a heartbeat. Guaranteed.

I never imagined that those Universe 2-Packs would actually sell. Ridiculous.

Are parents really that dumb? Can they not differentiate between the Movie line and the Cybertron molds? Seriously?

Good luck!

I think it's a great deal! That's $180 worth of Tfs by my quick count. I wish you ad posted this 2 months ago, although I wouldn't want the non-movie ones like Wreckage or Dropkick.

I do want that G1 SS though.

pm sent my friend!!

I would love to buy them but alas "Christmas is only a month away" So I can't buy em, I don't have a single one of those.

That's a pretty good price IMHO, but personally, I'd rather be able to pick and choose the ones I wanted. (In this particular case, I'm lucky to have all of those exc. for Voy Megatron, which does nothing for me. Love the movie seekers set!)

Can't tell you how many times I've seen a TF lot on eBay containing 1 or 2 figs I really want, and a dozen more tha I don't want, or already have and don't need more of. Singel figs, the way to go. Good luck!

I would recommend selling them seperate with a starting bid of 1.00. But add a reserve price, so if it does not sell for the reserve price I don't think you'll have to sell it.

With me, if something is to pricey I won't even consider it and reserve prices disencourage me. But if you can part with a figure for a price less than retail, then use my idea.

$100 is a decent price.. But since they are still new figures that can be bought anywhere it might not get any bids.

May I ask why you are selling them? Tired of them, need to clear space, just wanted to try the transformations? Seems a pity. It's a nice collection; I wouldn't bought it if I hadn't already bought mine from here and there.

no it doesn't. it's not g1, just the g1 repaint.
even so, all toys need to break free of their plastic housing.
