Anyone know what these vintage robots go for?
« on: October 23, 2013, 11:34:56 am »
I have a collection of toy robots and would like to sell them. Can anyone recommend me someone that would have an interest in them. Here is a link to my share folder and I'll post a few.

Smith House Toys appear to get good prices for vintage pieces.
(Boxes add a lot to value...but when did they start putting bar codes on them?)

Wow the prices on these toy robots are crazy. Not sure if I have all the boxes for them but I'll have to check. I'm going to send them an email right now and see what they say. Thank you for your help. Yes I don't know when they started to put in bar codes too.

Thanks

80's i think for the bar codes. Even though they'd been in use for a while, they used stickers for pricing. Then bar codes once international trade / laws started to to more regulated.


The black and red Gear Robot  ( with the cogs ) without a box is worth a few hundred dollars.

The one beneath that is Mighty Robot, not worth as much

The bottom one is Moon Explorer. Again, not as much as you'd think.

Boxes do make a difference in pricing!  AND condition of boxes!

Nice grouping!

Would sell individually!
