While at Collectormania, in Milton Keynes, yesterday we were shocked at the prices dealers were asking for some Transformers. So shocked in fact that we felt we should put up a warning. We beleive these prices were aimed at newcomers to Transformers, rather than hardcore collectors. People who had TFs first time round, and would be interested in getting back into it. Consequently they were looking to rip people off.
Prices such as £30 for a G1 Rumble, WITHOUT weapons, and £40 for a G1 Rewind, with weapons. These are scandelous prices, 3 or 4 times over their true value.
Well known TF dealers such as the Spacebridge also had astronomical prices on G1 Transformers. We ask that if you’re new to Transformers, don’t take the prices you see at face value – look around to gain an idea of a value of a Transformer before jumping in at the deep end. Search on eBay for the Transformer you’re looking for, that will tell you what they’re selling for – treat it as a price guide for the current market.
Happy shopping.
