Help with prices

Hi everyone!
I've been looking around eBay for red shadows, Baron Ironblood and the Black Major, but there seems to be a huge variation in prices. I don't want to be fleeced so I wonder if any of the more experienced collectors on here could advise what a reasonable price would be for the following characters loose, in very good condition with accessories:
Baron Ironblood
Black Major
Red Shadow
Red Jackal
Red Laser
Mutton

Thanks in advance for your help.

Gareth

Here are my ideas but im sure people will differ. With some of these (Red Laser in particular) it pays to wait as a lot go fo a fair price but you can pick them up a bit cheaper. It can pay to pick up a damaged card (Red Shadow excepted) to open rather than find a nice loose version.

Baron Ironblood
£5-£10

Black Major
£7-£10

Red Shadow
£10

Red Jackal
£20-£25

Red Laser
£18-25

Muton
Buy one mint on card, loose complete ones seem to go for more than the carded versions, you should be able to find a carded figure for around £3-£5

cheers

I'd honestly expect that we may be able to put together that "needs" list through here, rather than eBay mate TBH!

I would estimate:-
Baron - £5 (with helmet and uzi)
Black Major - £5 (with his maps and gun)
Shadows - £10 (complete - perhaps a little more as JohnGIJoe has his sites set on Z Force now)
Red Jackal - perhaps £20 to £30 in good condition.
Red Laser - perhaps £20 in good condition.
Mutton - £2 a pound from the butchers!! :-)
A Muton however, to get a complete one loose is actually liekly to be harder than just buying a MOC one and opening it! If you are interested I have some MOC ones for sale (shameless plug!) for just £3.50, plus a quid or so postage, so for less than a fiver you get the fun of tearing one open and a perfect Muton to assemble!!!

Hope any of that helps!

I typed mine as TKW was typing his, but it's quite scary how close to each others we are! We must be mind linked! (God help you Matt!)

And of course there are the 2010 Black Major, Red Shadow and Red Torch to collect!

It'll only lead to ruin, though. :-)

:torch: is a very cool figure that's much underrated by collectors if you ask me.
