If you're looking to value for intrinsic purposes then they are priceless, depending on what they mean to you. If it's resale you're concerned about that'll be a hard road considering they're opened and old.

I say this without having looked into how rare your items are...just my $0.02.

Tim, can I call you Tim? Ima call you Tim.

Tim, you're not giving us very much to go on here, some pictures would help, as would a description of what you're trying to appraise.

Keep in mind condition is king, if the figures aren't sealed in a box, are missing guns, missiles, or other bits, have scratches, scuffs, discolourations, stickers peeling, etc. that's going to have a big impact on the price you can get for things.

"Tim" had some pictures of loose G1 figures with boxes when his posting first went up, then he promptly took them down after I offered my $0.02.

Lol I only took the pics down becuase this post wasnt getting any views, My original posting in the general discussion was much more popular. Here it is http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=68250. I also made over $148 profit on the pair, so not to bad for "old opened toys"

Yeah, that was a sick score you got. You do not see many like that at garage sales anymore!

In the future, you might want to leave images up, it can take a few days for people to respond on this board sometimes, and even longer at times. I'm not sure if there was a time pressure on this, but it looked like you got what you needed.

Wow. I humbly stand corrected. Congrats!
