How do you know what somethings worth without e-bay?

NakedZergling

So i have an item and for the love of god i can't figure out what it's worth. I have searched e-bay, and it's not on there, and i realized that without e-bay i have no idea how to attach a dollar value to the item.

The item in question is a 3 1/2 -4 foot tall statue of master chief from the halo series. I know this model was limited to 600 units and cam out for the launch of halo 2.
anyone have any clue how i can figure this out?

I'm not sure but PM me when you find out - depending on the price I may take it off your hands.

for collectors items for which there's not really an active market, the value is really whatever somebody will pay for it/how much you're willing to take to part with it.

i was told by a local comics/games dealer that it's worth between 500-1000 but that seems like an large gap, and i have no clue if it's true.

Look on ebay for people trading SIMILAR goods, in volume especially, and ask them.

Yeah, without an active market its hard to determine the price of a good. I'd say maybe put it up on ebay with a reserve of like 1500 or so. If someone ends up buying it for that much, damn you just made fiteen-hunnerd. If not, you can see the general area the bidding ends.

But this is with ebay so my advice directly contradicts the title.
