I'd say at auction for a nice one (C9) with the small vee £10.

Cheers Stef, there abouts what I was thinking/hoping  

I'd say a little more than £10 for one in such condition. £12 - £15

It's always going to be difficult to pin point a price, ebay typically £10+ will get you a nice one. On the forums you can pick up power droids stateside for as little as $5-$8 each. I did spot a buy-it-now in the UK for £18 also sold.

I didn't notice anyone listing them as an "alternative sculpt" so these things just seem to be mixed up then the deep vee one's, so it's worth spending the time borrowing through the listings and hoping no one else spots it.

Take note whoever becomes my secret santa !

Great topic Alex  
 
I am glad you and Steve put your heads togeather and started this thread   
 
I agree with the market vaule for the Short V sculpt Power Droid   
 
In comparable C9 condition I usually sell them for arround $20 (US dollars) - a little less if their not as nice , a little more for better ones .
 
I also agree that if you have the time and patience to look through Ebay auctions you can always find them for bargain prices   That pretty well goes for any variation though , theres always good deals to be had if you look around long enough  
 
Since thats not really the question here though I would agree with the approximate market vaules above . If someone that knows what he has sells it to a collector who knows what they want the approximate market vaule is $20 (give or take a little) for a C9 Short V  , Small V , Alternate sculpt or whatever the hell you want to call it Power Droid

Thanks for starting the thread Alex.  

I suspected that I paid the 'right' price for mine, & the responses so far have confirmed it!

I have recently heard of one being advertised at nearly £50.00.  

This is a very interesting thread indeed. I've yet to obtain a full set of figures, let alone consider figure variations.

Ones I'm particularly interested in buying now are both Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker (Farm boy) from the first film.

I've seen these at figures ranging from £20 to £80. Naturally, condition and original equipment dependent.

What would be considered a reasonable price for these two figure at C9+, but not from a rare production run?

I'd say a nice Luke farmboy and original leia should set you back £30-£35 each.

That's all together a reasonable price indeed. I think £40 would be my max. Anything above that and I would want something justifiably special!

The general price range for a good condition version of either of these two figures usually tends to be between £20 to £30.

But I agree with Stef here if you're wanting C9+ , so pure white, with all accessories intact, you'll definately be hitting £30+ in all but the luckiest of occasions.

They're also the 2 most expensive figures out of the first 12.

yep - Luke and leia are deffinitely 2 of the toughest figures to find in C9 + condition - the most difficult aspect seems to be finding them very white . I find quite a few figures that I consider in the C8.5+ to C9 range and they tend to sell in the $40 to $50 range - an discoloration is usually the prime factor in the lower grades for me . On the rare occasion that I find a Luke or Leia with very little to no discoloration , figures that would actually qualify for a C9+ rating , they easily sell for $55 ++ .
 
Like Alex , I can usually estimate approximate market vaules for most things by checking current sales on Ebay or other places . I come across items every now and then that I can't really find current sales on - here are pics of a example :
 





 
as you can see it is the outer part of a DT Luke Saber   
 
The inner part is missing unfortunately but its in pretty nice condition otherwise - no cracks or splits , just a little staining / discoloration on the tip . Not that it makes any difference in vaule , but I think the hilt is stamped with a O with a dot next to it - my eyes are getting bad with age ao I am not sure  
 
so what would be a fair market vaule on this guys :scratch:

P.S. That is an 'O' and a dot, and nice find by the way, it looks to be in really good shape as well  

James, I think the most knowledgable dt saber guy around is bill mcbride who is on here as sithtoys I think. He is pretty much the saber guy to go to for vader and Ben sabers so I am sure he knows Luke's too. I would imagine he keeps a pretty close eye on the market. Having said that, if I had to guess and this outer was paired with a really nice luke, I would say you would be in the $250 range. I haven't seen any recent sales and don't generally keep track of them much anymore since I got one a year or so back. Good find though.

Vlix, not in the best of shapes but neverless still a rare figure. Would anyone care to but a value on this?

Guessing - $2190 @ auction

As probably the only person on the forum who actually has one, surely we should be asking you!

Thanks Bryan  

I guess if no one else here at TIG has any idea of a fair price for the saber I will try to ask Mr. Bill

I'll be the 1st one to admit I don't know everything, so I was just seeing what opinions other people had.

Last one I saw sell loose was graded and pretty high if I remember rightly, 80 or 85 I can't remember, again it was several years ago and that was for sale for $4000, and it didn't stay for sale for long so I assume some one paid that.
So with that in mind, the condition and lack of weapon, surely like AJ said $2000+
