Joke Machine: Pricing Question

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I've been recently scouting toys and I came across a vf-1s joke machine super valkyrie. the thing is im not so sure how much i would offer since this is the first time ive encountered someone selling his JM. :D

so if any of you guys can help me make an estimate of how much to offer, please post your comments here.

the things i have observed are the ff:

1. the jm is mostly colored dull-white (i guess its about to start yellowing)

2. the leg armors are missing, the rest of the armors and boosters are present.

3. minmay and the gun are accounted for.

4. jm has complete stickers and are already attached to the valk.

5. no box, styro, or manual

6. the wheels are A-OK

7. joints, 75% are pretty tight.

got any suggestions on how much should i offer? thanks! B))

I gotta see pix, but from you just described, I'll probably pay about 30 shipped. Post pix if you can.

wow, looks like this could be the japanese version you have on your hands here. But the only difference between the US release and the Japanese versions are the stickers. So no biggie in prices for a loose one. So judging by the pictures, the only problem I can see is the yellow on the chest seems to be dirty. The rest of the valk looks ok to me. No major yellowing problem. So yeah, I'd offer up 35 shipped, only becaues it's missing the leg armor. So just see what he says about 35 shipped. Good luck

I'd second Bobe-Patt's opinion here. $30-35.00 shipped looks about right. Just curious, but it looks like the valk in the first 2 pics is a Hikaru 1A... Is that one available too, hopefully?  :lol:

actually the japanese version came with stickers that you can convert the 1S roy into a 1S hikaru. But the only problem is the chest color is painted on so you can't really convert it without painting the chest red. :huh:
