[QUOTE="Palitoyman, post: 473574, member: 2363"] I have to fully agree with Palitoyjunky, market value doesn't come into it, it is all about what the buyer is willing to pay and the factors and circumstances surrounding it, i.e how long has the collector been looking for a piece, is it a piece that completes a run and the likelihood of the piece coming up again within the next few months. At the moment there seems to be a lot of collectors wanting the same figures and more who are focussing on Palitoy 30 backs which are so tough to find at the moment, for example, when was the last time you saw a good quality Lobot or Lando, two of the easiest 30's, collectors who have 30 backs know that they are like gold dust so are keeping hold of them until a ridiculous offer is made, so historically, a Lobot would be a reasonable price but now would fetch a lot more in good condition, so ultimately the seller decides the market price with these type of figures as they know if they don't get the right price someone else will make a better offer, basic demand and supply economics. I think the collectors wanting these figures need to be very patient as it could be years until the next batch come up, having good contacts in this game is essential in order to progress with any collection.
