I have two original unopened Star Wars figures (Darth Vader and Boba Fett) I found in my closet. They are in good condition and i'm thinking about selling them on ebay. Would you pay $500 each for them?

I've got a quarter on me.... :hmm:

I never understood why people wouldn't take them out of the packaging and play with them; or how leaving them sealed in the original box makes them worth more. Toys are meant to be enjoyed.

Sure I played with them like most every kid, just had doubles from birthday parties and stashed them.

Nice bit of cash you may have found there. I wouldn't pay anything since I'm not a collector, but judging by the ebay auctions you linked, you shouldn't have trouble getting a nice sum.

I wouldn't pay anything, mostly because I may be the only person alive that don't like Star Wars. After all.....Captain Picard and the Enterprise D would kick his ass.

I would probably pay around $100 for each, leaving a buffer to make a nice profit reselling on ebay while not taking a large hit if it was not worth that much.

Yeah.... the Darth Vader is kinda common. Every kid wanted that one!

That Boba Fett is money if you're a collector, though!

Dont forget Ebay will get thier 9%(but no morethen $50) plus Paypal's 3% so you are out ~12% total for whatever they sell for.
