Loose Trekkies

Lord Poe · Post by **Lord Poe** » 2003-11-24 05:58pm

Anyone know a good resource; website or book, that lists prices for loose Playmate Star Trek action figures? Gotta sell these bastards, and I have to see some ballpark prices!

tried ebay or half.com? those generally give you a better indication of what people are willing to pay for the objects than necessarily any type of guide book.

The recently completed auctions would be the best indication obviously rather than the price that people are asking currently.

I came into this thread expecting talk of promiscuous Star Trek fans.

Be glad you didn't see any.

The question is, why would you want to go into a threat talking about promiscuous trekkies.

"Oh god, fuck me captain!"
"I give the orders around here, yeoman... YOU fuck ME"
"Aye aye, captain!"
*they start fucking*
"Oh god, yes captain!"
"Warp speed!" (starts humping faster)
"....Firing...torpedos!"
*little TNG klaxon sounds as the jizz hits the yeoman's face*

That's why...

same here

but on topic I would guess that if you really wanted to get rid of them try to go to a flea market and sell them.

Unfortunayely, the only sources I'm finding range from 10 bucks to 40 if it still has the packaging! I'm not seeing much of anything about loose figures, however.

Well it's a start.

A good rule of thumb I keep when I go to cons looking for rare figures is the shape they are in(for the loose ones).

If it's the price of boxed one at mint...that's robbery unless it's Yoda Porking Slave Leia(to which I can use to fuel my improbablity drive).

A good range is take about 1/2 of what the boxed equivlent is.

Good advice. I'm going to set up a table at the local comic book con probably early next year, and sell a ton of comics, figures, and other things. Comics are easy to find prices on- just pick up Wizard! I picked up Toyfare, but they have none of the Playmates figures (for Trek) listed.

I 'm replacing the Playmates figures with the new Art Asylum figures, BTW!

I'm always in the market for Micro-Machines, if anyone has any duplicates they're just dying to get rid of, send me a PM....
