Looking to buy sets... but need to know...

[phynix]

I have a few things I am looking at buying from people one is a set of miss and matched items the others are almost complete sets!

The people I am buying from are asking me to make an offer on them, and as much as I would LOVE to do that I don't want to kick myself in the arse for 1, being cheap and not offering enough and making me look stupid and or like I am trying to take advantage of them, and 2, look on ebay later and find I could have gotten them for a hell of a lot cheaper.

So instead of that happening best to ask!

So the miss and match pieces from a member:
This picture is not taken by me it is by the seller, and I moved it to my own photobucket to save her account from unnecessary bandwidth usage!



And these are from another seller:

Complete Sets:
*Toddling Turtles on Paradise Island
-might be missing a water bottle
*Marching Mice with Magic Maze
*Jogging Gerbils with Ferbitrail


Nearly Complete sets:

*Racing Lizard with Desert Den:
-missing blue bottle,
-tag written on, maybe i could wipe it off...

*Deepsea Divers with Coral tank:
-no wand
-no fish food


So what should I offer to give these people... I would like it by lot and by set as I more then likely will not be able to aford to buy it all at once!

yeah I'm not entirely sure on these ones, $6/set seems about right? thats what i would offer at least. heh

Thanks all Just myself and the sellers don't want to be kicking ourselves and I am not ebay savvy so I didn't know I could do searches from the past sales! That is awesome!

For the lot with the picture - I dunno, about $6 and for the complete sets maybe About $10 (give or take) per set... and maybe $6 or $7 each for the incomplete sets. Pricing is hard to do! A good thing is on Ebay if you click on advanced search and clik completed listing you could search for items like those your buying and see their ending price with can help you gauge how much you should pay.

Thanks, Mouse! I never knew about this. I always put items on a watch list if i think i would sell them one day and usually most similar items have a similar ending price range. i'm glad this thing on ebay exist 'cause now i can probably delete all of the stuff that has ended. Also, I am one of the people that has offered Phynix some sets, so your given prices of these sets would also help me in the future. =]
