Hello gents

I am considering parting with my entire Gi joe collection and am looking for a few values that I would be likely to get should they go for sale,have had both these items for a while now so unsure whether they have increased or decreased in value?

The first is the USS defiant space shuttle,the toy is complete and fully operational with no breaks anywhere,has both the figures Hard top and payload in great c8.5 condition and fully complete.It also has instructions and spare parts,but sadly no box or filecards for the 2 figures.

The second is the cobra terrordrome,this toy is complete and in fantastic condition,comes with no breaks,fully complete,a.v.a.c pilot with filecard,box in roughly c7.5 condition holding it's shape really well,instructions sheets and unused sticker decals sheet.The firebat is in mint condition as well,lovely toy!

Any ideas from you guys what prices I should roughly achieve for them?

Will be selling a large cobra army of troopers and various vipers etc.. on ebay in a few days time as well so keep your eyes peeled for them,will naturally offer postage discounts/free postage to members on here if you give me a email.

My account is steflinds07 will probably be going on sunday night to begin listing,any wants then please email me here I have some cracking figures for sale including starduster,rumbler and various other hard to find US figures.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

Stefan.

Your best bet is probably to check ebay under Completed Listings. They come around very rarely so I wouldn't like to guess.

And thanks Baron for the sensible advice,I may have been misunderstood for having a low post count and purely wanting to sell my items on here,if so I apologise but the clue was in the heading?

Cheers stefan.

I have no clue on value being overseas, but you can get about $100-$300 depending on time and how many people bite for the Terror Drome, but to get the higher end of that you must have the parachute for AVAC and very little ware and box.

Defiant is a different beast, as it just depends on what people are spending at times. Problem is that many are broken in some way, as they are so big and if they were played with any. If the figures are complete, Hardtop with mic and gun, etc, you could get about $500+. I know the hand crank doesn't work on many, as the unit (booster & shuttle) were too have for it to lift on it's own, so if played with that part is almost always broken. Do you have the cardboard mailer sleeve for this one? That has a big effect on value. Also if it was assembled or unassembled can bring in more, as many want an unassembled/unbroken one.

Shipping is another main factor in these, as some don't want to spend the cost that some ask. I think it really just depends on what someone is willing to drop on these and I can't be totally 100% sure if the prices above would fit today with economy being still in the dumps. Best thing if you are looking for top $$$ is to watch ebay. You might need to check the US ebay too, as over here they come up more often. Hope that helps.
