The honest answer: whatever a real buyer pays for it right now. Here's how we figure that out — and how you can get a free quote on your collection in 24 hours.
Real numbers, real comps, real market — no guesswork, no lowballs.
The short version: we price off what pieces have actually sold for recently on eBay — not asking prices, not what someone thinks they're worth. The "sold" listings on eBay are the market. We scan the last 30-90 days of sold comps for each piece, adjust for condition and completeness, and land on a number that's fair to you and realistic for us to move.
That's it. There's no magic. But it matters because a lot of dealers anchor to wishful-thinking asking prices, or to what the piece was worth five years ago. Market moves fast in collectibles. We track it.
Six factors that move the price up or down — every time.
Biggest lever. A MOC (Mint on Card) piece can sell for 40-60% more than the same figure loose. Card creases, bubble lift, and yellowing all move the number down.
Missing an accessory? That knocks 10-30% off for loose figures. Full accessory complement is worth documenting with photos.
Short-print waves, chase variants, con exclusives, and protos command premiums. Common-wave pieces move at common-wave prices.
Some lines are hot right now (WWE Elite Ultimate Edition, vintage Transformers, sealed Funko chases). Others have cooled. We track the live market.
For MOC/sealed pieces: card condition matters as much as the figure. Torn bubbles, creased corners, and lift all show up in the comps.
AFA, CAS, WATA grades command premiums at the high end (9.0+). Lower grades may sell for less than a raw mint piece — slabbing isn't always a win.
Ballpark numbers for common lines — your specific pieces could be more or less.
| Line | Loose / Complete | MOC / Sealed |
|---|---|---|
| WWE Mattel Elite (common) | $15 – $35 | $25 – $60 |
| WWE Ultimate Edition | $40 – $80 | $60 – $150 |
| Hasbro G.I. Joe (vintage, 80s) | $10 – $60 | $75 – $500+ |
| Transformers G1 (1984-90) | $30 – $400+ | $150 – $2,000+ |
| Funko Pop (common) | — | $8 – $25 |
| Funko Pop (SDCC chase, vaulted) | — | $60 – $500+ |
| Masters of the Universe (vintage) | $20 – $200 | $100 – $1,500+ |
| Star Wars (modern / MOC) | $15 – $50 | $25 – $200+ |
These are ballparks — real value depends on condition, completeness, and which specific wave. A full quote takes 24 hours.
The things sellers ask before they message us.
We price from real eBay sold listings over the last 30-90 days — not asking prices. Condition, completeness, rarity, and current market demand all factor in. Every quote shows our reasoning so you know the math.
Usually yes. A MOC (Mint on Card) figure typically sells for 40-60% more than the same figure loose. Card creases, bubble lift, and corner damage still knock MOC prices down — so "MOC" isn't a binary — the card's condition matters too.
Yes — factory-sealed cases are in high demand. We price them as a unit, not per figure, because case-fresh condition commands a premium with buyers who want to crack their own or flip them later.
One grail is fine. Whole estates are fine too. No minimum. Some of our best buys have been single rare pieces.
Nothing. Quotes are free and there's no obligation to sell. Worst case, you learn what your collection is worth in today's market — that's useful info whether you sell to us or not.
Don't. Light dusting is fine, but don't polish, re-paint, or "restore" anything — collectors want original condition. If in doubt, send it as-is. We'd rather see the real condition.
Yes. Send photos and we'll identify the pieces. Identification is half our job — we enjoy it.
Snap a few photos, tell us roughly what you've got, and we'll come back with a fair cash or consignment offer in 24 hours. No obligation.
