If you have dozen of action figures, you sure will have the thoughts of knowing the price of your beloved collection. There are few ways for you to determine the value of your collections and you can do the value assessment on your own easily.
The most important factor that determines the value is the condition of your collection. Those that are in mint condition will normally fetch higher price compared to other type of conditions. Mint condition means that the collection does not face any degradation or discoloration on it and also all its moving joints are still good in condition as well as it has the entire original accessory. If they are in an unopened box, mint condition will be including the condition of the box as well such as there are no damages to the box.
Secondly is to determine the version of your action figures. You must aware that, there are many versions produced by the manufacturer throughout the years. Some will have certain special edition such as 10th year anniversary edition, Halloween edition and many more. Besides that, another thing to take into consideration is to know the manufacturer of your action figures. Some will have several manufacturers producing them throughout their production life. For example, Zelda has several manufacturers to produce figures such as Toy Biz, Joyride, Nintendo and many more. Some manufacturers will just produce a certain amount and it will definitely fetch higher price compared to those figures that are being produced a lot into the market.
Beside all these, you need to take note of the market trend as well because it can affect the value of your figures collection. For example, when the movie Transformers came out in the cinema in the year 2007, their action figures' price suddenly reached their peak as there was a sudden spike in Transformers' action figures demand.
If you are still unsure of how to determine the value on your own you can use online price guide to help you to determine the price. Besides that, you can also bring them to an experienced collector to determine the price for you. But the down side of it is that it can be a hassle for you to move your action figures around to transport it to the collector's place.
Last but not least, you must understand that there is no written price for any action figures out there. You might able to sell yours in a very high price if it is in a very high demand and already is a rare item in the market. It is also depending on how much the buyer willing to pay for it. But in order to fetch more value, remember to take those factors stated into the consideration and also set a value limit to yourself. Only sell it if you are able to get any price above your price limit.
