Collecting Star Wars: eBay

A beginners guide to buying Star Wars toys on eBay. Experienced collectors probably already know all this.

What I meant to say at the end about shipping is this:

Let's say you want to buy 5 figures. You find that two seperate sellers have different prices. Naturally you would go with the cheapest price per figure, but if you calculate the difference between combined shipping and shipping from different sellers you might actually save money by picking the more expensive seller. The moral of the story is: calculate shipping before bidding.

I am trying to buy a vintage bossk (1980) it says "Bossk Vintage Star Wars Figure (ESB) 1980, LOOSE" does this mean the figure limbs are loose?

[micahc6v8]

@TheSuperBossk oh no. I forgot to mention that. Loose just means that it is out of the package, it's just a loose figure. If it says it has tight or "loose limbs" then it is talking about the arms and legs. Sorry about that, thanks for helping me clarify it!

I think its also a good idea to look at chinese/forgien sellers too. they can have really good prices that offset the shipping. i have bought a lot from those guys and i have not really seen much evidence that indicates knock off or factory defective, however often times they dont come with any accessories. also the auction titles might be generic enough so they dont show up in a specific action figure: u may come across a fig titled "marvel universe action figure 3.75 in"

@etheangel2220 Yes definitely. My favorite ebay seller is Tunghori in the Phillipines. He's 100% reliable and for a good price.
