A thread for recent auction results.

 

 

 

Redemption Data, US-carded, brought $77.66 + $5.50 shipping after 14 bids in January 2018.

 

This is around where they trade now, basically, though I've seen some sell in the low $60 range as well.

Just Janeway on US card, nothing special about it from what I could tell, brought $20.00 + $5.50 shipping after 17 frantic, fingers-trembling, browser-refreshing bids in January 2018.

 

Yes, just a mint Janeway figure.

 

Are all mint Janeway figures now $25.00 at the door?

Yesterday's Tasha, foot #526, mint on card, brought $104.50 + $9.75 shipping after 17 bids.

 

Not bad. A little north of where we've seen these trending in the last few years.

B'Elanna Torres, mint on card, recently brought $11.50 + $4.45 shipping, after 7 bids.

 

Yes, just a regular Torres figure on a normal card. No, I don't know what to make of it either.

Projections Barclay went for $40.90 + $5.50 shipping, after 10 bids.

 

Well bought! That's not a lot of moolah for a Barclay in 2018, especially if you want one of these MIB. Some spirited bidding there too.

I wonder if there’ll be a spike in these prices after the Trek toy episode hits that Netflix show.

Red Data, MIB on US card, went for $99.00 with free shipping after 16 bids. Foot number 002676.

 

A bunch of dough these days, no doubt, and about $25 north of where these usually trade. Some careful watching of The Ebays can yield these for like $60 if you have the patience.

Red Data, US card, went for $53.05 plus free shipping after 5 bids.

 

One of the better figure purchases I've seen in the past 3 years. Kind of wish it was me. I don't even have a US-market Red Data, (I think).

Thomas Riker, MIB with purple accessories, went for $26.00 + $8.45 shipping after 10 bids.

 

A lot of bids and a lot of dough at the door for this day and age. The accessory color variety apparently still plays an actual role & actually drives demand. Who'd have thunk?

Here's something that was not on anyone's radar 20 years ago, and something that's tougher to come across than Red Data and Tapestry Picard, as there's no shortage of people who'll sell you those. It's easier to show than to describe it: DS9 Q on a TNG 7th-season Canadian card. The accessories and tray does not differ from the original DS9 card as we know it in the US, but there is an extra Canadian-market sticker on the front. 31 pictures on the back, all TNG.

 

Sold for $51.00 + $12.00 shipping after 3 bids.

 

There were a number of DS9 second-release figures that made it on to a TNG 7th season card: Picard in DS9 uniform, Thomas Riker DS9, O'Brien duty uniform, Dax duty uniform... but not Bashir or Vash, though I can't rule it out. (I just haven't seen those). Out of all of these it is often said that Q is the hardest to find, though it's hard to put a number on how many were produced this war. My best guess is below 4,000, and out of those how many remain in packages is probably in the low hundreds. Thinking realistically, are there a hundred of these out there still in packages? That sounds like a stretch to me.

 

There were a few more that made it on to a 7th season TNG card in Canada, just not DS9, and those include Nausicaan, Yar, Vorgon with pog, Georgi and Data from Generations, and several others, some unconfirmed.

 

This is pretty much market-priced, but there's a scarcity element here that's not well-represented -- these pop up on eBay like once a year.

Red Data, US card, MIB, went for $41.00 + $9.99 shipping after 5 bids.

 

Well bought! These tend to go for about double this amount. Nice to see somebody get a good deal.

Here's a solid result: Blue-uniformed Seven of Nine MIB went for $100.99 plus free shipping after 15 bids.

 

To put this in perspective, that's far north of Red Data or Projections Barclay at the moment.

Tapestry Picard, mint on card, sold for $237.59 plus shipping, after 22 bids, from The Great Escape in Nashville on eBay.

 

The Great Escape is an absolutely legendary, legendary shop that had a couple of locations in Nashville in the 1990s that had a huge section of records and CDs but also tons of sci-fi figures, Magic cards, and other games. Their downtown location had closed a few years ago, so they're now down to one location in the western part of the city, and I was there last in 2015. Their sci-fi selection had shrunk down a minimum -- it's certainly not the late 1990s anymore -- but I picked up a few items there.

 

Really surprising that they would sell a Tapestry Picard out of nowhere, they must have bought it from a collection.

 

Good number of bids here -- this is pretty much the going rate these days for a Tapestry Picard.

Tapestry Picard, MIB, went for $155.50 + $7.60 shipping after 3 bids. Package condition appears to be 9.5/10. Foot number not listed.

 

The low end of the price spectrum, very well bought. I would have bought it myself at this price. Especially considering what another just went for, in the post above.

Sorry if this is OT, but I've just come across a box with various orphaned playmates accessories. Just want to check if there's much demand out there for 'bits' before I throw them out. I know there's demand for vintage Star Wars weapons (found some of those too!) but with Playmates being more recent, are they just dead plastic?

In the past couple of years on eBay 100 accessories = $15. So there's that. I'd encourage you to sell them, as people do buy them in bulk.

Yesterday's Tasha, MIB, went for $84.00 + $10.00 shipping after 13 bids.

 

Pretty average result these days -- the going rate basically. I was just reading old Lee's magazines this evening where they were advertised for $500 in 1998.

Thomas Riker with dark red accessories, MIB, went for $15.00 + $6.70 shipping after 1 bid.

 

About the going rate for this figure MIB: red accessories sometimes bring more & sometimes they don't matter. Canadian ones do tend to bring more, regardless of accessory color. It's a shame these didn't have pogs or skybox cards or more packaging variations, but at least they're affordable now.

Thanks for the values. I had offered $48 on a $52 figure and was declined. Sh*t like that infuriates me. Why have Best Offer?  Guess it didn't really matter to me since I didn't just buy it outright.

Yeah, I hear ya, I often have to come within like 90% or 95% of the original price with a Best Offer to get an acceptance. And the decliners are usually for very low-value items to begin with, like under $20.
