    Wants the best source for determing the value for Mego figures

    Hi all,

    I'm new to the website and was wondering what the best source would be for determining the value for the Mego figures that I have? I have a fairly good size collection of figures, several still in boxes or on the card as well as a number of loose figures.

    Thanks.

    Prices

    Hi!
    First of all, welcome! I'm still fairly new around here (but not new to Mego collecting); if you stick around you're going to meet a lot of great people who are both knowledgeable and helpful.

    Secondly, I'm afraid that prices on vintage Megos are currently in the tank; even the nicest MIB and MOC examples only go for $2-$3 each at most. However, since I'm such a nice guy, I'd be willing to take whatever you have for $5 each ...






    ... lol ! , seriously, I don't know if there's any definitive one-source guide to vintage Mego values. I usually try to check ended ebay auctions for a realistic price, but even those can vary widely from day-to-day. There are a couple of toy magazines that run price guides, TOY FARE and LEE'S GUIDE , but the prices in both of those aren't really a good indicator of current values. Some of the long-time members here are usually more in tune with values for Megos.

        You're best bet is to check out the completed auctions on Ebay and it should give you a general idea of what the current market is. If you decide to sell them I'd suggest saving yourself some Ebay fees and posting them for sale in our Marketplace forum along with pictures and prices.

          Ebay's completed auctions. I take the last few auctions remove the top and bottom values to eliminate the impulse bidder and the occasional low sell, and take the average of the rest.
          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                If you post photos we could give some ballpark numbers.

                              That's a whole lot of Mego goodness that you have there, my advice would be to pull it all out of the garage, buy yourself a nice glass cabinet and proudly display it all in your living room
