Quick question on classics skywarp pricing

[obakemono]

Hey I've got a classics skywarp that just came out of a MISB 2-pack, I don't collect the seeker mold at all and I know people out there are looking, my problem is I have no idea what a reasonable price is to ask for the thing, I've only seen it for sale with the magnus and that price is nuts.

Any ideas?

Most of the times when I see a posting for it alone, it see it for about 40$. Personally I think 30 is fair, but I will leave the actual decision up to you

Honestly, most prices for Magnus and Skywarp, solo or in two pack, are ridiculous.

You can definetly fetch a decent ammount of cash for it but I don't know how people have the heart to sell em for those prices.

As mentioned above, they'll go for 40$+. Is it fair...not really, will you be able to sell it, most likely. Then again, I don't access prices in the same way as others so eh.

It's really up to you though.

Go with Hero's opinion, 30$ is still to high in my opinion but it definetly seems fair compared to other pricings.

I know I paid about $25 for mine back in December 2009 from a Canadian seller. Like the one you are looking to sell, mine was also fresh out the two pack. But, pricing for him does seem to have crept up since then...

One should not get emotions mixed with market prices. If someone can sell it at the price and there are people willing to pay for it, I don't see how having the heart to sell it at that price has anything to do with it.

No I know, I'm quite aware of that and mentioned that he most likely will be able to sell it. Also mentioned I personally don't access prices as most people do.

By all means he could sell it at those prices but if everyone seems to mention that it is indeed quite a high price...well y'know.

I just don't think a deluxe size figure is worth as much.

Either way, we're definetly not in a cheap hobby, that's for sure!

I'm not sure what do you mean by "personally don't access prices as most people do".

You want pricey deluxes?

I appreciate everyones input, I payed a mint for the 2-pack but really I just wanted the ultra magnus, so I don't have an emotional attachment to the skywarp, and I don't want over charge someone, I know how expensive this hobby can be and how infuriating searching for an elusive TF can be (damn you reasonably priced united jazz). In a perfect world I'd just trade it for somthing I need and every one wins. thanks to every one who is throwing in their two cents, I think I'm getting a better idea of what it's value is.

Yes, I know there's much pricier figures out there such as those you stated. I'm not oblivious to the extremely sought after toys.

I just don't think anything that a deluxe should surpass a certain price range, voyagers shouldn't surpass a certain price,etc. ( G1 and timely figures excluded)

I personally can't justify putting 100's of dollars into something that technically could of been sold at retail stores for significantly cheaper. There's nothing significantly different in the building process of the figure. There isn't better quality mats used to build it, etc. I don't own any of those pricey figures and though I really would like to,I would never be able to justify those prices or even afford those prices.

However, I know people who can and are willing to pay that sum of money to add those rarities to their collection.

It's just a personal opinion, I'm sorry if it offended you, didn't mean for it to turn into this kind of disscusion.
