[@ryandann9362]

I loved when the guy said, "what do you want me to say, come up another $100?" He seemed like a dad who got his kids any toys they wanted, because he loved his kids and that's what a dad who loves there kids should do. Nowadays, as a dad, I did the same thing, except by the time my son was old enough to play minecraft he stopped playing with toys, and I ended up buying things that never were touched. It was sad. It was my fault for letting him play minecraft, but since I loved him I let him play, just like I'd have bought him any toy he wanted.

@@maxvideoentertainment8706 that megatron would not fetch over 700 hundred. One sold on ebay for 510 a few days ago. None of those toys were mint or complete. Sure some had boxes but thats doesn't counter missing pieces and played with condition. At best over a period of time the shop might make 5 to 6 grand in sales. After a 2500.00 investment minus the cost of space, listing paying employees, store, and taxes the store might pull 3 to 4 thousand profit. Not the gold mine people imagine it is.

[@inkwell9651]

@@maxvideoentertainment8706 the store invested 2500.00 in what might be close to 5000.00 in sales. So 2500.00 profit after sales. Then he has to factor in paying rent, utilities, business insurance, federal, state and city taxes, employee salaries. If he sales on ebay then tack on ebay fees. Money also goes towards buying more inventory for the shop. Then as the shop owner he gets what ever is left for himself after all that. Not such a big goldmine everyone thinks it is. That megatron is the most valued thing in that lot. One in box sold on ebay March 30 for 510.00. So no, the megatron is not worth 1000.00. The box was rougher but the one in the video wasn't mint either. None of those toys were mint.

Some people are just as happy to sale a whole lot and be done with it. Considering he thought this stuff was junk and was just going to throw it away AND his son said he didn't even want them anymore how can you be upset with Toy Federation?

[@BabyNades]

The main problem is that you guys are not transparent enough with the customer about the retail value. You need to first explain what it is all worth and even say what you are going to sell it for, a ballpark figure, explain you need to make a profit to justify the time and space for it all and then make the offer of 45-55% of the retail value or whatever. The way you all come up with the $1500 offer is filmed really sketchy: three people side by side, behind the counter whispering among themselves, away from the customer's ears. I would never feel comfortable in that setting selling something to the store. It just looks sketchy as hell. Sure you may not make as huge a profit being up front, but you'll gain the respect and trust of the viewers and future customers and that alone is priceless.

I know TF has to do their thing, I mean, in my head I thought maybe around 4-5K for the whole lot, so they were going to offer him half that. Had the MASK figures been complete with helmets the value on those would have been greater, but without really seeing everything in detail can't know for sure how complete everything was. The SW lot alone I thought would be valued at around 1K total. Not to mention the clean G1 Megatron, no stickers applied and still on the sheet will likely sell for around 1K as well. If the gentleman ever came back with more of the accessories to complete what he already brought in I think that would bump up the overall value of the haul to a more favorable offer.

None of it was mint, and you can look up the prices yourself on all those SW pieces, most don't sell for much anymore. I know because I have the same sets in pretty much the same condition and I would have made more if I'd sold it off 10 or 20 years ago than I will now.

Guys..when people re-sell things they typically buy them for about half of what they sell it for. That is a standard practice among lots of things that are re-sold. Kind of like when u sell something to a pawn shop…say a TV. If it goes for $400 used, then they will buy it for around $200. The store has to make a profit to cover their business costs…things like employee salaries, rent, electric, advertising, insurance, worker’s comp, and many other costs. If it were me, I would print up a flyer saying “We buy toys” and list the toys they are looking for and explain how they are valued and show the transparency of it all because most folks are new to selling toys probably. This would help folks understand it better. These guys are being fair IMO, running a business is VERY expensive and I think some commenters on here are not taking that into account. Also he would not post unfair prices to just get backlash so cut him some slack. Thanks for the videos, I enjoy watching.

Hmmm. I'm usually defending in the comments on the prices...this seemed a bit low. There were a lot of boxes there. Also the megatron alone will retail for for $400 conservatively. Maybe even 700 or 800 if the condition is as good as it looked on camera. It's so hard to price these things. I imagine most of this collection will go in storage WAITING on the missing one or two pieces. If they manage to complete everything it will go for $6k+...but that's if they can find the missing pieces. I think $2000-$2500 would have been closer, or maybe let him keep one or two key pieces with instructions to ebay them. This was s tough one. Still beats losing them at a yard sale for $100 which seems was likely to happen in this case.

It’s too bad too because I kept them in pristine condition considering I never had friends to play with so I treated my toys like friends.

I used to have a bunch of Star Wars men. I was a bad kid. I used to take off to the store without letting anyone know and steal action figures. I’d go back home and play under a tree with my new toys. He-Man too 😂I’m 50 now so I’ve come a long way. Stealing isn’t cool.😳

Feel much worse for you regarding the emotional aspects of that than the financial ones, that sucks. Hope you have a good relationship with your parents nonetheless.

This kid had a great childhood. Reminds me of mine. I had just about everything in this collection. The memories came flooding back. Great Video!!

[@saskatchewandave]

Offering a guy half of what it's worth is just normal business. Everyone in the comments saying he could sell it himself, don't get that it takes time to do that. I don't think this older guy wants to research all these toys, photograph it, sell it online or local, dealing with customers, etc...

[@trpdon4581]

That’s not half of what it’s worth tho that one transformers gun just sold for $1800 on eBay and 8 of them sold just in November lol one sold for $2225

[@EcnalKcin]

@@trpdon4581 You mean, at least 8 months after the video was shot? Do you not understand how markets can fluctuate? 50% is standard, because the market can dip just as easily as rise, and if you geta big item dip 50% and your margin for the lot was 20%, you could end up with a loss. That isn't even a rare thing to happen. What is really bad is when the entire market shifts down, and now your entire business is operating at a loss. Edit: Nvm, guy above is BSing. It is the "1984 G1 Transformers Megatron Walther P38" Last sold complete on ebay for $500, time before that $400. The highest any sold in the last 90 days on ebay was $600. He is just spouting pure BS.

@@SykeowarriorPK because he needs attention, and needs to feel superior to people who are doing the work he's not doing, building the businesses he's not building, and forming the connections he's not forming.

[@caergruant5574]

before my time but still how neat seeing all these old school toys! love the channel!

[@Maz08]

Whether or not his son gets upset, he did right by bringing it to you guys! He would have been ripped off he just had a garage sale or put it in a classified add and sold it, not knowing what it was worth, somebody would have low balled him to death. You guys treated him right and fair!

[@KeithWeller63]

he was ripped off

[@sirchromiumdowns2015]

I want to see what else he had in his attic. Any chance there will be a follow-up episode regarding this gentleman?

[@nilespeshay1734]

+I have no idea if the price paid was fair+, but that customer did the worst "haggling" that I've ever seen in my life. It would have been nothing short of charity to NOT take advantage of him.. at least a little bit.

[@VincentGuastini]

It's like having Pauley from Rockey talking to you about toys lol. Roy is so nice.

[@berg6562]

I appreciate the transparency and that’s why I’m here. But this is the first time I’ve had to disagree with their buying price by a large margin.

[@Nosfeast]

I was for sure thinking $2k-$2.5k everything was so clean most of it was complete or almost complete ect ect

[@ichigen511]

The whole thing is complicated and very painful I agree with what you are feeling. I almost wish he told the guy to keep all his shit cuz his son is gonna regret it someday. It's an AMAZING collection. I'm conflicted too! Edit: After thinking about it at least Toy Federation is an amazing place that those of us who are nostalgic for this shit, grew up and have disposable money, and have a legit place to go to repurchase our childhood. That's special.

[@toyfederation]

He came back with the parts to complete some stuff and got another $1000

[@Nosfeast]

@@toyfederation Awesome nice to hear would be nice to see what he brought back though.I mean you guys always do people right just this one rubbed people the wrong way a bit may have been mostly jealous feelings idk.

[@craigdixon6496]

Remember, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I am glad he brought it in, so now someone else can enjoy the toys, collecting and memories.

[@matthewpeterson8770]

Yeah you crushed this guy...that star wars stuff was crazy

[@anthonyjonas6236]

He going to make 20 k on that easy

[@toyfederation]

20k!?! hahahah. We'll be lucky to make $3k!

@toyfederation Really? You got my child hood dreams in your hand. I'd love to have that mask crusader set. You got it in ebay?
