I'm seriously thinking of selling my Transformers Classics collection (Need money for the upcoming Christmas season), but not really sure what the going rate for each figure would be. Anyone have any ideas on what my small collection would go for here on the boards?
These figures are all loose, but like new, and complete unless noted. So Any estimated value?
Rodimus
Ultra Magnus
Nemesis Prime
Bumblebee
Megatron (Henkei)
Astrotrain (Henkei)
Astrotrain
Hound/Ravage
Starscream (25th Ann Ver)
Cyclonus
Galvatron
Grimlock (missing missile)
Ironhide
Jetfire
Megatron (Deluxe)
Optimus (Deluxe)
Powerglide (missing gun)
Ramjet
Silverbolt
Tankor

Not sure about the Henkeis
Rodimus should get about $50
Ultra Magnus could get $70
Nemesis Prime could get $40
Ramjet $30
Most of the rest $20 - $25 max I'd say although the deluxe Meg and Op Prime and Tankor might only go for $10 - $15

You can get far more than that for them.
Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod are both highly sought after thanks to the Fans Project sets. I'm not sure of the numerical value, but I'm pretty sure it'd be more in the range of hundreds of dollars.
Henkei figures are probably worth around $40 a piece.
Normal universe figures around $30
My biggest recommendation is to search ebay results for each figure you think about selling, and study the end value of several of the same for each figure. That'll give you the best idea of their monetary value.
At this point in the game, they're all rare figures and pretty highly sought after.

Why not just do your own research and that will give you an idea of where to start your prices at like E-bay,BBTS,Toy Arena,or even other TF sites with B/S/T threads.Its great to make a profit if you can but remember that the economy isnt real good right now so its best not to try charging a small fortune and you would be surprised at how much someone can buy if the timing is right because I bought 4 Classics figures(Rodimus,Mirage,Grimlock,Cyclonus w/Nighstick)for only $22.00 on TFW2005.

So what way would you guys suggest selling this collection? I don't use eBay, so selling it there isn't an option. Would it be best to sell it as one collection or break it up into single sales with individual prices?
Every day I procrastinate on getting moving with this the holidays creep closer and closer...LOL. I know I've got to get pictures of each figure taken, so that's on the to do list as well.

I really recommend selling individually. It's easier to sell as lots, but you'll get far more money selling them one by one.
I recommend posting here, and opening a sales thread on tfw. tfw's sales forum is far more advanced than Seibertron's, makes it easier to sell. Plus the fantastic wants forum, look through for people looking for what you've got!
EDIT:: Though if anyone's got a Henkei Dinobot on the go, be sure to PM me first
