oh, you're the king around here ... do you know the value on something like this?
-snip pic-
This is unopened, sealed, new, etc.
I have an estimate of $75 to $100, is that a bit over? under?
Thank you kindly for the accolade, but I'm not too much of an expert on estimating the value of sealed items. I know I paid about $15 for mine loose, mint & complete a few years ago.
A couple of years ago, I would have said $100 was way too high, but as I think about it, I haven't seen this guy popping up on eBay for a while... if it were me, I'd do a starting bid of around $50 and a BIN of $85, provided that would let you recoup your investment.
The only thing that *could* potentially keep bidding down is that both the hero molds have been reused within the last few years:
Prime

Megs

Megs

At one point this was fueling a few scattered rumors of a true reissue of the two. It's not out of the question with all Takara's Convoy-craziness lately, but I've not heard much about it in recent months. Frankly, if they reissued them in G1 Prime and Megs colors, I'd be on that in a second.
