    Sealed Snake Mountain

    I have a sealed Snake Mountain and was wondering how much this would go for? Box is in excellent shape.

    The last time I checked on Ebay there were only opened ones. Any ideas or takers?

    Looks in amazing shape. I would expect you could get around $700 for it since a real collector would send this off to AFA to complete a collection. Looks in really good shape. There is an AFA listed snake mountain on ebay right now for $2,400

    agreed with your statement, i think you could easily get 500-700+ for it, in that shape. again it's also depending on what someone will pay

    Thank you for the information. Would you recommend getting AFA certification? I've never heard of it before.

    AFA is the action figure grading authority. You will have to proably pay around $200 for the size (not sure as never had a playset graded via AFA), but it provides the buyer with a gaurentee of the quality of the item. If you are looking for the most bang for your buck and have time, if you sent it away and had to pay let's say $300, and then wanted to sell it fast you could list it here rather than ebay to save on fees. You could sell it to an org member for around $1,500 for a quick sale, but as AGE says all depends on who is looking to buy and for how much.

    That's a neat service. I may have to look into it for this item. Especially if it adds that much value to it.

    Personally i collect only AFA so it's that peace of mind that your getting. Now alot of folks do not like AFA so you may limit yourself to a smaller community of folks but it's a great service and well worth looking into. Enjoy!!

    With the amount of money you'll spend to have it graded, plus the shipping and insurance to AFA and back, it's just not worth it. You're better off taking really good pics and putting it up on Ebay. Not everyone buys AFA. Sell it as is and let the buyer decide what he wants to do with it.

    That'll sit there forever. No one is going to pay anywhere near that.

    Man-E I agree on the AFA on ebay right now, I recommened about $1,500 as a more fair price. That one won't move, but his castle grayskull moved a few weeks ago I think.

    do you know what the grade was and what it went for? i need to upgrade mine.

    speaking of castle grayskull, check this out. when i saw the price i thought it was sealed. crazy price for an open box.
