You want us to shill bid, right?  IIRC, the old Kenner die-cast TIE BOMBER is rare, isn't it? The way TRANSFORMER is written on that Onslaught box "TRANS FOR MER"...like Mer-Man got his new transmission in...or he's into trannies. |

Sucks they're still making you work for that. Should be a hazard from working. You know the weird shit is, if you had gotten hurt, you probably would be able to sue the shit out of them. Those things never work out for me. All those Star Wars die-cast are the best condition I've ever seen. Never new Darth Maul had a Rubiks cube, looks pretty cool. The Transformers Dai Atlas reminds me of what I thought was cool about transforming robots as a kid, their faces. For some reason, that was what determined the coolness of a robot for me  I applaud you for putting stuff on ebay. It's weird how attached to this stuff I am. I seem to despise the prequel Star Wars movies (which have ruined the originals to some extent, e.g who Darth Vader is), but can't seem to let go of my collection, WTF?! |

The Honda got totalled 2 months after we bought it, We didn't have gap insurance, and the payoff was $1200 less than what we owed.
I have two of those Blue Onslaughts, which is why Im selling one. Only paid $3 each ar some discount asian stoer that had a bunch of knockoffs and alot of it was OLD stuff. Must have been in storage. Should've bought more...
I Got that Dai Atlas at a Thrift Store for $4 a few years ago. Not too attached to it.
The Star Wars Vehicles are from my childhood. I haven't seen them in about 16 years, and I'm not into micro vehicles, which is odd considering I build models. Not too attached to them, as only me and my brother ever played with them, usually together, and I have so many bad memories about my brother now. The Tie Bomber is very rare, which is ironic since it is the one with the most actual damage, other than the X wing...

Some items wen't pretty low, but others went for more than I was expecting. Got more than I expected for both TF knockoffs, but one fucker still hasn't paid after two days. Yeah, I know Wednsday was Halloween, but you can't be that hungover on a weekday.
I think if the TIE Bomber wasnt damaged, It should've gone to at least $120. It was sad a few of the vehicles went for less than $10, they're worth less than a crappy meal at Dennys!
Overall, it averaged out decent, though.

I've had it happen where stuff I thought should sell for more didn't, and something that was crap to me went up pretty high, who are these nerds right I say be proud of letting go of stuff you can't take with you when you die anyway. |

I don't know. The collectibles market is absurd in some ways. Some old stuff that you'd think would be worth something ain't worth shit. While something that was hard to find within the past year can sell for 5 times retail.
I've noticed some crazy stuff in Star Wars auctions. AotC Outlander Night Club Twi'lek chick from 2003-2004 Star Wars Saga series sold loose for $20. Now, they'll never make her again probably...but why did she sell for that much loose? I don't recall her being super rare, uncommon maybe. And anything Mandalorian still sells, even old ass 90's crap Boba Fett releases...maybe sell cheap, but still sell. Customizers? Nutcases?
Zarana X's x-wing didn't sell. Strange. 30 year+ toy...no bids. Sure it had some custom paint...but...
