I would say my best deal was i payed 10 bucks for three PM figures and in the lot was a Projections Barclay ;)

 

As for Most expensive figure...I dunno, prolly 100 bux for one of the old Latinum Statues, if those count. But otherwise pretty much retail

I don't know why my original post was sliced up, I put down my best deals and my most expensive, but it appears the database didn’t like it. I am a relative new comer in terms of collecting, I got my first figure when I won a Transporter Geordi in a raffle. Over the years I got the odd one or two, but not much, usually AA or DST when I found them in my local comic stores bargain bins. However, I went to a seaside resort in my country a year or so ago, and found a Data for 50p in one of there comic book stores, and thought that wasn’t to bad. I ended up buying twenty 90s PM figures from various shops, and upon returning home I found something my friend recommended, eBay. I have been hooked ever since, and, to get back on topic, I have cashed in on the slump in prices.

 

My Best Deals

£00.20p each for a load of Wave one figures

£00.50p for Data

£9.00 for a MISB Blue Seven

£50.00 for three shuttles, TOS crew set and an Orion Slave Girl

£7.50 for a MISB TAT O'Brien (left overs on there website from DSTL)

About £40 for all the VOY crew

A number of the Toyfare, Spencer Gifts, NFC, and a few of the more popular figures that are rarer in the UK for about £5 to £15 each

£1.00 Esoqq

 

Most expensive

Harry Kim £15.99 (got hit with the USPS hike)

£10.00 for Q

£8.00 for Khan

£8.00 for Chang

£10.00 for Garak

£40.00 for The Bridge (admittedly a very good price, but still expensive)

and £15.00 for the Borg Queen

I paid $60 for a loose complete Lt. Cmdr. Data figure a year or two ago only because I knew the figure was no longer widely available and I wanted him badly.

Figure wise, most expensive was the Cross Roads of Time Sisko at $75, followed closely by the Trials and Tribbleations O'Brien at $55. I've put in bids for the DST Ezri Dax at up to $125 but was outbid.

Yeah Ezri was one of those figures too. I am still suprised at how much the DST Data is going for these days...

I know, some guy in my country became a million heir (not literally) over night, he sold his DST/AA collection on eBay. I don't know weather anyone here bid, but damn did it go high. Data finished at around £130, Geordi £80+, Martok £50, Kang £49 ish, he had literally all the TOS/TNG/DS9/ENT, as well as the exclusives. The guy must of made £5000 in that night, it's unbelievable. And that’s another reason why I buy Playmates over DST, I can actually afford them...

One of the few figures that I never got when I was collecting packaged figures back in the mid to late 90's was the Dathon w/pog figure. I looked all over several parts of the country for that damn thing and never could find one. About 2000 I sold off most of my collection. About a year ago I got back into collecting again and was determined to add Dathon w/pog to my collection! Then I found out that it was only released in the UK and Australia... no wonder I couldn't find one in the States! With only about 1,100 released, I knew it wasn't going to be cheap. I finally saw one unsold on ebay for $2500 (yikes!) and just figured that I'd never own one.... not at that price. Then I was contacted by a fellow Trektoy member who wanted a rare figure that I had and offered me Dathon for $450 plus a trade credit, so I took him up on it. Yeah, I winced..... but I had the money in my "me" fund, so what the hell... live a little :lol:  Fred K.

Geez...i have a TON of loose figures like that but the thing that killed me is i moved and left the bag of accessories at my ex's place. They said they might be in the garage still but they thought they went into the trash, we just cleaned the garage out the other day and they weren't in there. So i have all these rarer loose figures but incomplete grrrr...

Great deals on Riker and Sisko!

 

 

Thanks, and sorry for such a late reply. It was just by luck I found them, as they where in a large lot off a Star Wars collector who was selling of his kids collection. I was convinced someone was going to "snipe" me, but alas this was not the case. A few additions:

 

Least Expensive

Cage Spock MISB - £0.99p

Another Esoqq - £1.95

Complete DS9 TAT set (including O'Brien) - £17.99

£8.00 for a complete lot of wave one TNGers, minus Worf and GEN Kirk and Soran. Unknown to me at the time, the person threw in a Dinky BOP, a Mego Kirk, and a few of those themed viewer reels that show various pictures.

 

And Breaking the Rules:

Classic 1701 - £1.50

Goddard - £1.50

 

Most Expensive

Signed Redemption Data MISB - £45.99

I'm sorry to hear that, but your figures might still be worth something. Loose AA/DST stuff can still go for a good amount, TNG and DS9 stuff gets a lot of interest, and I've seen a few auctions go for over £30.00. TOS repacks and re-releases have little in terms of interest, although people still bid. If you do sell them, list at a time when people usually get their Wages, your more likely to get higher bids as people will have more money spare.

 

I've given up trying to make sense of eBay, one day a figure goes for £1.00 and the next its £10.00, or £50.00, or £80.00 or even £0.99p. Even a standard W1 Geordi can go for £15.00. You'd think that people would do their research, but as the 98th Rule of Acquisition states, every man has his price.

Hmmm...I can't remember what I paid for any figures.

 

I bought the TNG Bridge playset at a Sydney convention in 1995. Cost $150.00

 

Best $150 I had spent!  :D
