I was at a toy convention in Rochester, NY over the weekend, and there was a vendor who had a very nice full box of cheap toys for $685. I was a little taken back at the price, and I asked him if that was the current going rate for a box. He said that was about the average price, nowadays. I told him I also have a full box that I've never taken the bags out of, and he said I should hold onto it, and that you only sell these types of collectibles when it's time to send the kids to college or someone needs a kidney because they're only going to keep going up in value.
So, was he correct? Is the current price for a near perfect full box of cheap toys around $700? I've had my box for so long, I don't even remember where I got it or how much I paid for it. And like I said above, I've never taken the bags out of the box. I've had several people holler at me that I need to search them because there could be potential rare figures in there. However, if the position of the packs are indeed how they were originally placed in the box, I think I'd like to leave them as they are.
Here's my box:
