boxofcorey Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 THIRD PIC: NOTABLE ITEMS AND FINAL ANALYSIS Squidward (SB) 6.03 (if it is the pink lei version (can't tell from this angle), it is worth 5.93 Patrick (SB) 2.77 Monkey (reddish brown) 1.69 Not sure which pilot, I think it is Luke from the 2006-07 sets in which case it is worth 5.59 General Grievous (1st version), no cape 10.27 Joker's Henchman 6.01 Dr. D. Zaster (Agents) 11.12 I think I saw his hair somewhere don't remember where Colonel Dovchenko 9.33 Dr. Inferno (Agents) 7.73 Indiana Jones open shirt 6.96 Subtotal: 67.40 Total (all three picture estimates): 268.88 This is a pretty unbiased estimate, and depending on how many other gems you find in there it could be worth more or less. Shave off five percent for risk of broken arms/hands etc. and you are left with 255 bucks. If you can get this for 80 or less, it is probably worth your time and effort. 100 and less I would be hesitant but still probably agree, if the buyer wants over 100 than you might want to invest your money into easier profits that don't require as much listing and selling (remember to keep that in the equation - you are going to be selling over 100 figures, what is your time worth to you?). To answer the original question regarding valuable finds, in order of value, here are the top 5 figures: 1) General Grievous, 20.00 2) Aang, 15.06 3) Dr. D. Zaster, 11.12 4) Harley Quinn, 11.03 5) General Grievous (1st ed.), 10.27 Happy deciding You should make a thread in this subforum... I've got a ton of minifigs that I have no idea what I should do with and wouldn't mind help with. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 The seller accepted $50. Great! boxofcorey, I will pin a thread to help with questions like these. Quote

Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 You score again. You have been on a roll lately. I just have too much free time. It will all be over in a couple weeks with college starting again. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I just have too much free time. It will all be over in a couple weeks with college starting again. Lol. When I was in college I unfortunately had to go year round for my program. Never free time. Got out - now I have more free time than I ever have before! Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 Lol. When I was in college I unfortunately had to go year round for my program. Never free time. Got out - now I have more free time than I ever have before! Yeah, it will be like that for the next year or two in graduate school. All year, only a couple weeks vacation. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Its funny how some view this as fun. I view it as too much frickin work. It's not work when you're clearing a couple hundred flipping figures. This is the stuff I live for on Craigslist. Find a lot for $100, flip it for about $300, just by cleaning and sorting. I have purchased a lot of new sets by moving used stuff from Craigslist. Now that the summer is drawing to a close, it seems to be slowing down, I haven't found anything worthwhile in some time now. 1 Quote

But I guess this more sure fire money. Quote

akohns Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 That would make sense, they had that set available as well (incomplete) well it's even more incomplete now... How incomplete was it and what did they want for it? Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 well it's even more incomplete now... How incomplete was it and what did they want for it? I did not ask. I might ask them just to see. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Posted August 14, 2013 Got it today! Sorting just now. Found a couple of nice surprises so far. One of the firebenders was actually Prince Zuko with a helmet, so you could not see it. Also found the head of the Killer Croc (No body). The last head went for $15 on eBay, but not sure how easy that would be to sell. Quote

Now that the summer is drawing to a close, it seems to be slowing down, I haven't found anything worthwhile in some time now. I am just starting to get into this as well on Craigslist. I also find it fun to come home after work and sort through things, post to eBay, etc. And I think it's pretty easy pickings if you know what to look for. I bought a few random sets recently and a "grab bag" of extra pieces/plates for $70 total. Cleared $180 so far, and still have a few things to sell left to go. Probably not worth the hourly ROI, but I find it fun. Quote
