Out of loop-how's the G3 market?
« on: February 01, 2012, 10:48:52 AM »
I "invested" a lot of money on the earlier G3's. I would like to lessen my boxes in garage. I was thinking about selling at our local flea market at the college this summer and advertise here and Craigslist. How is the market and how is the market for MIB compared to loose. I have both.

MIB and loose seem to sell for about the same, but fluctuate with popularity.  I am guessing collectors are probably running out of room.  As for price, I would say between $5 and $10 loose (again depending on popularity).  The flea market might be fun, but I don't think you would get more than $5 each there.  Here would probably be more on track with the $5 - 10 range.

The common ones MIB I have not been able to get $5 for. But the uncommon ones like the cutie cascades, special and holiday releases fetch between $5 and $10 :)

I sold a ton of G3s on eBay before Christmas. Loose ones made about £1 ($2) each with the rarer ones going for a bit more. MIB ones made roughly between £3 ($5) and £10 ($16). These sales mostly seemed to come from people buying presents for children though.

The market seems to have gone a bit stagnant since G4 came out but the demand is still there.

Yup, G3s are not fetching much, neither MIB nor loose.
With some exceptions, like the holiday ponies for example.

Loose G3s can go for as low as $2-3 and MIB ones start from $5.

I've been selling loose, common g3s for about $3 each in good condition.  $2 each if it's Core 7 and $4-$5+ if they're pegasus/unicorn/special edition (winters, etc.)

MIB at $5+ sounds about right.  :)
