Advice for sale of Leo fan club figure

Foxywba · 01-13-2025, 03:05 PM

Hi gang, just wondering if anyone can help me at all, I’m selling my collection of figures and have a Leo fan club moc which I’d like to sell, I’ve not been able to find many to judge a price from, card and bubble are very good condition, card has been punched though. Just wondering if anyone could give me a ballpark guideline price please.

There is a lot of "price fishing" online when it comes to those. But if you want to fall into a reasonable market, I'd say fall somewhere into the 175 - 200 per turtle range with those when they are punched and have other "acceptable virtues" about them.

If your has some reason that it's maybe more desirable then you might be firm at the 200 dollar level. For more than that you probably need to get into the graded world and have a solid example.

Just remember that people fish on these, asking 350 - 400 per turtle sometimes, but don't let that noise interfere with your pricing because they generally don't sell for that. Maybe they do now and again to the "convention guys" who sort of remain in that convention-going echo-chamber.

Even at $175 per carded fan-club Turtle you are only going to appeal to the hardcore TMNT collector at this point because Playmates has reissued their vintage $#!( so many times at this point. On the other hand there is, thankfully, still some market desirability for the now-vintage soft-heads.

Thank you for your advice, I’ve been out the scene for along time and lost touch with it all. I know what you mean and seen some silly prices on a few figures which blow my mind but like you say they prob won’t sell for that.
