Looking for information on a model

[me_in_japan]

Hello all - long time no see. Humblest apologies for lurking so much of late *MiJ bows deeply*


Anyway, I have a question I hope somebody can help me with. I'm thinking to sell a larger scale mini I've had for many years but never done anything with. It's a Limited Edition Kotobukiya Guardian Force Bahamut resin model (from FFVIII), all parts including leaflets and box are as new (bar one teeny tiny toenail breakage, but both parts still marry up perfectly and it'd be an easy fix to as-new). I bought it new in a store in Tokyo about 12 years ago and it has been sitting in my closet ever since. My question is: does anybody have any idea how I can find out roughly what it's worth, if anything? eBay is giving me nothing, and google isn't helping much either. Even if you could point me in the direction of a forum or site that specialises in such things I'd be very appreciative. Thanks all in advance

On amazon.com: 1 new from $115.00
so somewhere between 80 and 150 USD.

HLJ lists the same for ¥3,315 (about 33USD)

edit:
that said that price is for the prepainted plastic version.
no idea on how much that item is worth, but the resin GK kits are priced lower or about the same.
as a rule, after 12 years you could try originalprice*2.

edit edit:
I found a resin Ifrit from the same series, it goes for the plasticprice*3, so that bahamut could go either around 100 (based on HLJ's price) or 300 (based on amazon's price).

Many thanks, MAXXxxx. I hadn't thought to check other models from the same range - good idea, that - cheers

I'm away back to Scotland for the summer shortly, but once I get back I'll stick it up for auction. Thanks again!

Mate, please drop me a note on Facebook about this, I'd quite happily take it off your hands and paint it for my wife. Cheers!
