I purchase GI Joe collections or single items. Contact me if you
have a large collection or just a figure or two that you need to move.
Over the years, I have purchased several collections of various sizes.
I buy all vintage 12" figures, vehicles, clothing, and accessories from
1964-1975. This includes the 12" Adventure Team. I also buy vintage
GI Joe related children's toys (backyard patrol, walkie-talkies,
puzzles, coloring books, etc.) If you have any Joe items that are no
longer needed, please
contact me. Condition is
important so it's helpful to send photos of your items to enable me to
provide you with an accurate offer.
Steps to Buying Your Collection
1. Use the email link at the bottom of each page or above to contact me.
Provide a short description of what you have.
2. I will email you to confirm your offer and let you know if your items
are something that interest me. I only collect vintage (1964-'75) 12"
figures and related items. I do not collect 3 3/4" figures.
3. The next step will involve photos. I will ask you for digital photos
of your collection or item. I use these photos for two purposes. First,
to get an idea of how large your collection is, and second, to get a
preliminary idea of its condition.
4. Next I want to get an idea of what you were hoping to get out of your
collection. If it's an amount that seems reasonable to me, I may ask for
some additional information on condition and possibly some additional
photos. If it looks like we may be too far apart on pricing, then I will
let you know then.
5. I will make an offer based on a number of factors. First and foremost is
condition. CONDITION IS EVERYTHING. The rarest item in poor
condition has
no value. Other factors that play into my offer include what I pay for
similar items in my local area; what the items are worth to me (items I
already own or cannot use have less value to me); rarity of items; the fact
that I am buying bulk and paying cash (i.e., you don't have to sell items
individually on auction sites, pack, and mail items); etc.
6. I don't get into bidding wars so if you are extending your offer to other
collectors, you will only get one offer from me.
7. We can dicker on price. I'm fine with that. However, my offers are not
good forever. After 48 hours or any lengthy break in contact with you, I
may no longer support that offer as I may be in negotiation with others on
their collections.
