Has anyone checked out the lot of 215 figures up on eBay with a BIN of $300 or BO? Im considering putting in an offer to start my childhood collection back up. Any ideas as to what would be a fair offer on this lot? I dont know how to post a link on here...sorry.
Thanks

I'd say 175.00 at absolute maximum value ( unless there are Class A figs in there that I'm missing ) I base my price with this in mind...111 Flesh muscle at .50 each (56.00) 104 colored figs at .75 ( 78.00 ) 2 claws (20.00 each). < inflated claw pricing, but as singles those two specific colors are going for that amount in the current market

Assuming they are all in nice conditon, that would be the very top end in my opinion


~ again, subject to change if class A (rare color/sculpt combination) figs are present, but I believe all of those are class C (common) ~

Edit: To answer your question..a very "fair" offer would be around half ( 150.00 ) of the BIN price.

Thank you for your input and posting a link. I was thinking about a $120ish offer. Thanks again.

After looking more closely, some of the figs look less than perfect, the light blue definitely look rough.

Maybe I'm not seeing what you are seeing. I'm attributing the picture cutting off on the right and left in both pics as maybe distorting thier appearance. What am I missing?
Thanks!

Some of the light blue figs look dingy, could just be camera distortion...the picture quality definitely isn't the greatest

If the seller thinks that lot is worth the 300 he is asking, there are several MUSCLE experts here that will explain to him in full detail why they are a ridiculous human being.

Many sellers on Ebay know nothing about MUSCLE, which explains the many outrageous buy it now prices. They think they have the gold equivalent in plastic and rubber for some reason and I dont know where they get their prices. If he doesnt accept your offer, hit me up and I'll message him myself.

Like another collector said, the typical price save class A, class B, claw, and satan cross figures is .50=flesh .75=color. some figs may be a little more depending on popularity and demand, but those are good prices to go by.

I would value it a little less because you're buying in bulk, so a quantative discount is not out of the question when making an offer on this randomness.

My best advice would be to buy little by little and let this lot go. If the seller is expecting anything near that amount, he will sit on those figures FOREVER. There are always MUSCLE auctions, so you should bid on lots you really like. Youll accumulate a decent collection in no time and you can also buy and trade with other members if you have things your looking for.

This is an awesome community and there is usually someone who can help out or answer your questions, so don't be afraid to ask! Check out the MUSCLE threads to learn more.

Thank you. I've been talking to the seller and from what I gather they put that price up there in the event that someone just pulled the trigger. I told him that some people I'd talked to said his price was rediculous and he agreed saying that his target is really around half BIN.
Thanks again

Looks like I waited too long on this one.
