I need your help!

I have a random collection of GI Joe figurines and vehicles.  I would like to sell them but i am not sure of their value.

Seeing as how GRM knows, well, everything, can someone help put a ball park figure together? Here are a few photos. Not photographed is a incomplete and a bit rough Terror Drome. Those can be big money but mine is far from great,.

Someone offered $400 so I know there is some value there. 

Help!

There is a guy I know that's also on YouTube called Uncle Clockwork.

He's a toy collector, and I sent him a link to this thread. I'm not sure if you can contact people directly on YouTube or not, but here is his channel:

They are worth something now? I have a large collection in my parents attic that have been untouched for 35 to 40 years. I'll have to start doing some research now.

You probably  won't be able to retire on it, but anything 80s is doing well right now. Us 40-50 year olds are nostalgia about our youth and are buying it back a Joe at a time.

That said, if you have a Sky Striker or Cobra Rattler, I'd be interested.  Dibs.

Car kid!

after you make your decision, let me know if your buddy is still interested in more stuff.  I was just going through my attic and my big box of gi joes was one of the things I noted to sell soon.

I need to drag out my GI Joes, TMNT, ThunderCats, Rambo, etc and see what they are worth. Only stuff I want to keep are my Hot Wheels and Micro Machines.

Need to jump on ebay and look at some completed sales and see if I have anything valuable. Unfortunately all my toys were played with so nothing left NIB.

Do you prefer to spend time with people of a similar level of education to yourself? Why or why not?

I see the prices this stuff sometimes sells for and wish I hadn't given all of mine away over 35 years ago along with my Star Wars stuff. Granted, mine were heavily played with and far from mint condition.  I had a penchant for taking the figures apart and reassembling them with swapped around legs, torsos and heads...  But I lived in an apartment and didn't have a lot of space to keep toys I'd outgrown.

This looks like a lot of Series 5 stuff. 

 

Serpent (Cobra Emperor) V1 is worth big bucks. Like, hundreds just on his own. 

 

Night Raven is about $200 on its own. 

 

I would gladly buy all this off your for $400.
