Ebay

I would skip most of the price guides. The majority of them are created based on what toy sellers/shops say they have sold items for. The prices are generally inflated a least slightly. And since the vintage TMNT line probably isn't selling in large volumes, a lot of the prices are just out of date. '

If you are selling the figures yourself, you are probably going to end up selling them for less than book value. And if you try to sell them to a toy shop, they will probably give you just a small fraction of their value.

I would agree with eBay being a good way to go. The fact is eBay pretty much is the market esp in tmnt toys and toy lines of the like. Price guides are pretty much useless in reagrds to tmnt. For instance, i have a guide from 2003 that lists Warrior Chrome Dome at $8 and Winged Warrior don and leo for $10 each! There is NO way you're gonna snag those at those prices unless you get real lucky. And those are just a few examples. Toy shops would be my last resort as they'll give you peanuts...IMO
