Title: G1 Transformers...
Post by: theUBS on December 19, 2009, 06:12:58 PM
For any potential bidders/collectors, I thought I would bring attention to some of the stuff I have a friend selling on Ebay for me.
It's classic stuff.  May there be a massive bidding war....  :icon_mrgreen:

Someday I'm gonna start buying toys. I'd be a good candidate for it, because I have no interest in most of that stuff, but I'll just store them in my basement for 30 years, and when I'm ready to retire I'll break them all out and see what I can cash them in for!

Well, I can't take credit for the quality of the auctions, but I can take credit for being an anal little kid that saved everything.  :icon_rolleyes: :cheers:

I can't imagine what these would be going for if I'd never actually opened them.  Just having the packages makes them much more valuable, but if you have unopened vintage stuff, it's insane right now.  The guy that's selling these for me actually paid me $150 for one he wanted to keep for himself.  It was in pretty good shape.  I'm curious what it would've went for in an auction, but it seemed pretty fair--way more than my parents paid for it back in mid 80's! =]

I wanted a G1 Optimus Prime for a long time...I would have taken it out of the pack and kept it here at the office lol.

Not gonna pay a month's rent for it.

Guess I should go dig my old ones out of storage.  My brother wants them for his kids but I don't know now...   ;)

I let the guy who's doing the auction for me buy my Megatron for $150.  It was probably a steal for him, but he's doing me a pretty big favor with the auctions.  I AM curious what it would've went for in its own auction though....

And to think I once had at least one good example of every Hot Wheels car from 1967-1971, inclusive.  I sold it all for peanuts when I was 14.  If I still had them I could send my daughter to private school!
