Benson13 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 My 1-6 set sold for $350. It took forever to sell. Just to top it off, wife spent the money on some dumb stuff. I essentially gave them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrinG Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Ahhh - Bummer. You shoulda kept that money separate! I will give it a go and see how I do. I think the key is taking a chance and starting the bid low to get folks into it - then hope that they start competing towards the end of the auction. May backfire though and I could miss out - we'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSenpai Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 If it were me, I would split the set up and sell them separately. I think it's a lower hurdle for multiple people to each buy a single toy for ~$100 or so than it would be to find one person who's willing to buy several toys for $300-$400 dollars.

DarrinG Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Tempted to do that - will try to sell the set first. If it fails and I do not get much return I will confess it, and report it here, and that you were right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrinG Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I ended up getting $630 for the 8 piece Robotech VF-1 8 piece set - which I am happy about. Its not over $100 each which would be ideal - but I will cut my losses and move on. After I actually got my display cases together I realized I would never display these, in or out of the nice boxes (which were by far the best part). So they needed to go to a good home...

SuperSenpai Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Nice. Did you buy these at retail prices? I think they went for about $80 apiece, so $630 for all 8 should have recouped most of your initial costs. And you only had one buyer to deal with. I'd be happy with that.

DarrinG Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I got them on sale as a set from Valk Exchange - wayyy back in the day. Don't recall price but I am happy I moved them out. A buyer from Chile contacted me and wanted a shipping quote. I took the box to UPS... $950! Zoiks! Only $29 to ship domestic - out already today - phew...

Benson13 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I think it's pretty cool but but I could get a 1/2000 SDF-1 and a VF-4 for that price. I'll get one of these eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 A little absurd since he's listing it as variable and throwing in the instructions from a V1 Yamato toy for a kit that's partially assembled and not variable. Looks like you get a hodgepodge of random stickers as well... also not from this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 http://bit.ly/19qDqYl Club M 1/24 VF-1? It's not a Club-M, it was made by Reds, Inc. It's a very old and rare kit. Seem to me like an ok price since its far from mint. http://aucview.aucfan.com/yahoo/d141199625/ How can I bid on that????!!! I want to!! Not mine, but cool to see.

Looks like you get a hodgepodge of random stickers as well... also not from this kit. The guy is clearly not the original owner and is being sorta vague that the a kit so rare is pretty much butchered. Still, if he keeps dropping the price I would consider taking a plunge.
