no for me, I'm not a G1 guy even I did watch all the transformers back in 80s.

I prefer the modern version of same characters over G1 toys.

I grab the odd G1 piece every now & then, but always loose (didn't keep the packaging as a kid, etc)

some of them are cool; ironically most are the safest to allow kids to play with - indestructible et al

That reminds me of the Pawn Stars show (I think) that had a collector looking to sell his whole collection. He wanted some crazy amount like this, but they offered him, I think, $5,000.

While nice, the heyday is over for selling large collections like this at high prices. Especially as a lot. To get that price he'll have to piece it out, and hope. As a lot he won't get that asking price. It seems only a small portion of the lot is complete in box, and those would be the money makers. The graded ones would do well, but it would take a lot of time, and effort, to get this unloaded by a buyer. Unless they were actually looking to get a whole collection for their own collection.

Too bad because he isn't that far away (Belleville area)

That price seems too high for what appears to be several incomplete items. Some are complete and even graded maybe but from a quick look it seems most are loose and missing parts.

A cursory evaluation of this collection indicates a distinct value.
I'd say $15,000 is fair, less the time to parse through it all.

If I could get away with it, I'd offer $12,000. But that's me. And, I can't get away with it right now -- no space... or extra $$.

No titans and wants $15000 good luck.

Re: Giant $15,000 Transformer Lot
 

To me. Part of the fun in collecting is the journey buying a used lot isn't fun.

Re: Giant $15,000 Transformer Lot
 

Nah, I don't think it's worth 15 grand. Most of it isn't even packaged. If they're trying to sell a lot of it, going to a con and selling it there would make more sense. Dividing it into smaller lots and selling each lot on Ebay might work too.

It's mostly G1, G2 and BW. Why would he bother with easy to find and recent Titans??
