So I am not getting a lot of feedback or interest here. Are my prices way off on these items? I have a lot of Joe stuff I would like to sell if there are some specific things someone is looking for please let me know I may have it. As I said in my first post, reasonable prices will not be refused, and the prices listed are very negotiable.

First let me say I am not telling you this with any tone of sarcasm or "attitude."  Just trying to answer you and give you examples.  So here we go:

1) You need to better describe your items.  MORE information is always better.  A picture says a lot, but what is complete?  What is missing items?  Are there file cards?  Blue prints? Loose joints? etc.  The less "work" a buyer has to do, the better chance you have of getting more interest.

2) Yes, your pricing is way too high on most of your items.  For example: $200 for 2 incomplete Dreadnok Stuns with apparently no paperwork or stickers? A complete, loose one MAY get half that on Ebay.  $150 for a group of "sandtroopers", of which all are from the last 8 years?  There isn't that much interest yet in the past 10 year's toy except for "rare" items.  $250 for a bunch of troopers, of which how many are complete?  File cards?  None seem to be vintage (pre-90s).  This is a board of fans, and we have a pretty good pulse on pricing.  A lack of interest should already tell you that your prices are too high.   

3) I can only speak for myself here, but you and I are too far apart on pricing, so what you consider a "reasonable" offer is probably still going to be too high for my tastes, and what I consider a "reasonable" offer is probably too low for you.

4) EBAY.  Regardless what others may say, it is your friend for pricing.  You can get a good idea of values by searching the site.  Just remember that you should check out prices of completed auctions.  There are thousands of auctions where there is no interest/sale and that is almost always due to pricing.

5) Finally, don't fall into the same trap so many do.  You need to come at this with a sense of detachment.  Many sellers I have seen in the past , from all fandoms, get caught up in the "business" mentality.  They think what it cost them to acquire the items and feel they should get a return on them.  However they don't look at the market and try to gauge what might be worth selling versus what they should "just get rid of."

Good Luck!

SUH-WEET!!!!!!  Face scars are always cool.

So, are we getting vehicles this year as well?

Be patient everyone.

I was able to take a trip tonight.  It is always nice to have to pick up something as an excuse to toy hunt.

I hit the Walmart by Sherway Gardens and Square One.

Sherway didn't have anything out, but they had a cart with cases of stuff.  Most of it was TF clearance items (Leaders, deluxes, etc) or ROC clearance stuff (Bravo, Ripit but no Alpha?).  There had to be at least 8 cases of the Bravo vehicles and the same for the Ripit vehicles as well.

Square One had at least 3 of each new Alpha and a bunch of Cobra Gunships and Ice Daggers.

So I would hazard a guess that this week will see a flood of vehicles.

Anyone know what the last case assortment of Bravo vehicles consisted of?

So we finally got our Lowlight.  We also have a Sgt. Slaughter coming our way.  SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

So who do you want next?

Personally I would like to see them give us a few more drivers.

Covergirl to finish 1984 and Cross Country and a proper Cutter would be my first choices.

Another group that makes me laugh are the ones who claim their pricing includes their time, gas, etc.

If you are going to start using those factors to help justify high pricing, then go full out as a business.

Double check you Walmarts.  I went to one that had the original pricing, but scanned the box and it came up with the sale price.  That is probably why they still had a Dragonhawk left.

Thanks to this sale I was able to grab:

Armored Panther
Sky Sweeper
Mantis
Snarler Cycle
Cobra Gunship
Dragonhawk
Steel Crusher

Sorry Stealth, it was the only one they had.
