Hey all,
I have tons of Muppet figures stored in the loft, all in their original packing ie never been removed.
The problem is, I have no where to display them and because of this I'm thinking of possibly selling them. The problem is that I have no idea what they are worth (I know the old saying, its worth as much as someone is willing to pay) so would like a ballpark figure.
All of the basic series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (not including Zoot).
Then I can't remember if its series 7 or 8 that I dont have (although I have all 3 of Johnny Fiama), anyways, also have the whole series 9 (inc all 3 lips).
Then comes on to the playsets which include the Beaker's Bunsen Burner playset (can't remember if thats correct name for i t), Electric Mayhem stage with Animal, Backstage playset, Muppets in Space (only one I don't have from memory is the swedish chef kitchen).
So thats it, I'd like to put it on ebay but the 2 main problems are that
1) I'd need to allow foreign people to bid on it as I can't see the English members would try to attain them, which means headache of working out shipping costs etc,
2) This is why I want a ballpark figure. Ideally I'd like to sell them in 1 huge lot so I havn't got to send them here, there and everywhere.
Thanks for any advice
p.s This won't really sway my decision to let these go or not, but I was wondering what people think about the future Muppet market. Obviously it will never reach the heights of the Star Wars franchise, but are we looking at a real collectible of the future ?
