Hey guys,
Here's a nice collection up for auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/Huge-Complete-Collection-Of-3-3-4-GIJOES_W0QQitemZ5989935791QQcategoryZ2467QQssPageN ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Do you think the BIN price is worth it or would you rather do what the first bidder did and bid the minimum and keep going?

At nearly $9 a figure - the BIN is not great in my eyes.

I think you may be asking a little too much at $2500. That breaks down to $9 per figure and many are newer (post 1988) and many are missing items to complete them. Are any filecards included in this lot? If you can reveal it- what is the reserve on it?

Is that your auction?

Anyway, $2,500 is a little spendy for a lot of late year & easy to get figures.

Plus, while the description helps considering how so many of the characters are wrong (names and/ or accessories) and the pictures doesn't really show who has what, I wouldn't even think about spending that kind of money for that listing. Too many question marks. I'd rather start at the opening and take my chances.

No, and if I had a collection that large, I'd probably sell them in slightly smaller lots. :D

What i'm saying is instead of selling those figures into one big lot, i'd divide them up into smaller lots.

Well really unless an online dealer snatches that up I can't imagine many private collectors that would be missing that many figures. So myself for example probably have a third of the figures in there. So even though its an ok price its not really worth me rebuying all of those unless I planned on selling.

Which picture? If it's the 4th one down on the left side, the guy with the blind fold and orange crossbow, it's the Night Creeper Leader. If that's not what you're referring to you'll need to be more specific.
