| Do you buy toys from private collectors? |
| Generally no; unless we receive a request for a particular item from
a customer, and we are unable to obtain the item from either the manufacturer, our dealer network, or if it is
the only source for a particular item, and meets our strict quality criteria. We have maintained a huge inventory
of original factory sealed cases dating back to 1995. |
| |
| What we will consider from private parties. |
| All authenticated action figures from AFA. |
| All authenticated trading cards from PSA. |
| Most factory sealed cases. This means the case was never opened to
'check to verify contents and resealed.' |
| |
| What we will definitely NOT consider from private parties. |
| Non-graded, non-authenticated vintage items. The reason is that we
have discovered an obscene number of alleged 'vintage' items, especially on major auction sites that are reproductions
(unauthorized, unlicensed copies) of the original item. We have filed complaints with major auction sites for many
years, and even sent a letter to Hasbro, Lucasfilm LTD., and the DOJ's Fraud Unit. However, despite our efforts
to keep fake copies of toy collectibles OFF the market, we still see too many fraudulently produced copies sold
every day. For this reason, we will only consider purchasing AFA authenticated vintage items. |
| |
| Do you buy inventory from dealers? |
| Yes. Occasionally we will bid to buy-out an existing dealer of variable
size, of part or all of their inventory that includes factory sealed cases obtained from the manufacturer or from
a major distributor. |
| |
| Want our buyer to evaluate whether we have further interest? |
| If you believe you meet the above criteria, and want our buyer to
further evaluate your item(s): Please include the full name of the item(s), series, AFA grade, AFA subgrades, AFA
serial number so we can verify the item was registered with AFA. For factory cases, please include the description
and series number imprinted on the case. Please know for security reasons, we do not open e-mail attachments from
anyone. |
