Rules for the Transformers Market

The NTFA Marketplace is mainly for selling/buying/trading Transformers merchandise, but we do allow some trading of other 80's toys, such as G.I. Joe/Action Force, M.A.S.K., Zoids, Masters of the Universe, etc., as long as the majority of your market posts are for Transformers merchandise.
Please note that the Nordic TransFans Association is not responsible for any deals arranged on the NTFA Forums. Naturally we hope that everyone who deals here is honest, but it is your own responsibility to decide whether a seller/buyer is trustworthy or not.
Trades should be completed in a timely manner, and no trade should take more than 30 days to complete after one of the parts have received their part of the deal. Delays beyond this is considered bad trading.
BAD TRADERS:
Any complaints about NTFA traders should be filed by reporting to a moderator below through the link in the relevant post. The matter will then be investigated to determine whether corrective measures are necessary. After reviewing the facts presented by both sides, and allowing the member an opportunity to explain the situation and/or correct the problem, We will determine whether to dismiss the complaint or to enforce appropriate disciplinary action. During this process, any trading topics the accused party is involved in will be locked, and a warning of investigation will be applied.
Disciplinary action may include getting name, contact information and any known aliases posted to the bad trader list http://www.geocities.com/badntfatraders/, with a summary of why the person is listed there. Bad traders will also be permanently banned from the ntfa and may be reported to the police for any violation of the law.
Accusations or negative debate about someone's trading is not tolerated outside reports to the moderators. This also includes any negative comments about a seller's price.

Wow, nice! That was a great article, thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone!! I was originally planning to post my entire collection for sale on eBay today, but in light of the latest discoveries I have decided to postpone the sale a few days so I can do more research and include as many exact manufacturing origins, variant information etc. in the listing as I possibly can. Can you (or anyone else for that matter) give me any further information on the estimated value of MB and Ceji variants, if there is any more collectible value to them than regular Hasbro versions, that would really help me figure out a proper price tag for the entire set so I could maybe even include a buy-it-now price (with a big bundle discount of course), it would also help a lot if and when I have to start selling the figures separately (or in small sets)? Thank you so much for everyone who might be able to help me out with this, if my entire set doesn't go as a whole I'll have to try and repay everyone here who has been so kind and helped me (by sending them something nice perhaps, hehe Best Regards, Petsku This post has been edited by Petsku: 29 March 2012, 15:46

All the best Maz No I haven't made a deal yet for any items with anyone and will first see if I can sell the entire collection in one big bundle, if not, I will start selling the figures individually or in sets. I have been contacted by three people here so far regarding the G1 1986 French Ceji Devastator Constructicons variant set and received some initial offers for it, but have not made any deals. I will soon be finished going through each item one more time to check if I can find even more MB or Ceji variants, will post my findings here soon. Thanks guys! Petsku

C9.0 Condition (Near Mint). ...So the final count is: 2 MB TFs (Jetfire and Roadbuster) and 14 Ceji TFs (6 Constructicons, 5 Insecticons, and 3 Seekers). Thanks again for everyone educating me on the MB and Ceji variants (will appreciate all possible info on such variants greatly, like collectible value, etc).

The Starscreams and Insecticons I have won, I didn't have any competition at all, in fact I was the only bidder on every Ceji auction I bid on. I will link you to these by private message in a little while so you can see for yourself what I have paid. The lack of knowledge and interest in these items is exactly why I decided to publish an article about them. The Constructicons are a little different because they were made popular by a very well known collector in the early 2000s, but a few of us have been able to find multiple sets since then. I found a set from a French collector who had 3 sets, I managed to secure a set for 120 Euros with some wear and no extra parts, just the robots + Devastator parts. MB Transformers are usually only valuable if they have the packaging, as that is usually the only point of interest for collectors. The only exception is MB Tracks, because it is red. Only dedicated MB collectors would usually be interested specifically in loose MB TFs and even then mainly for the paperwork. You will be looking for a very specific kind of person to pay you a premium on the Roadbuster and Jetfire. I have already directed a couple of those people here to have a look QUOTE(Petsku @ 29 March 2012, 18:08) UPDATE for MB (Milton Bradley) and French Ceji variants - Went through the entire collection once more and can now add the following to the MB and Ceji variant list: Roadbuster - MB variant (Milton Bradley variant, says "1985 Milton Bradley International Inc. under Berne and Universal copyright convention." on instructions), 100% Complete (all 5 missiles even still attached to sprue) + Instructions.

Best Regards, Petsku I believe the Hoist and Tracks are not actually Ceji variants. You can verify this by looking at their copyrights, you should still see "JAPAN" on Hoist's leg and on Tracks's back. These are just later Hasbro Europe releases, still manufactured by Takara. The instructions will still be multilingual and feature French, but French is not the FIRST language featured like the Ceji toys.

About the Catilla helmet - I actually have no idea why it might look golden, if I could've posted more than 10 pics you would see it's silver (maybe I should go ahead and post all the pics on this forum as well, but each post would only have 10 pics each?).

Yes the Grimlock sword is chromed, that's how it came in its package. I don't remember what version I owned of him, but I sold him away (along with maybe almost a hundred other Transformers I owned back in the late 80s, all the Dinobots, Trypticon, Scorponok, Metroplex, pre rub Shockwave, Defensor, Computron, other Autobot cars, etc, etc.).

I guess I should really start posting all the pics I have here, despite the 10 pic (per post?) limit.

Best regards, JB Hey JB, Nice to meet you! My MB Roadbuster is 100% Complete (all 5 missiles even still attached to sprue) with instructions, and is in excellent C9.0 Condition. My MB Jetfire is 100% Complete with instructions but I noticed it has some discoloration on its chest plate ("yellowing") and some wear, so I'm grading him C8.0 now. I am now almost done putting a price tag on each individual figure, and then I have to decide whether to first offer everything in one big bundle (along with a discount of course) or to start selling everything separately or in sets. I will soon update the thread with my price estimates and info on whether I'm going to put everything up at once on a place like eBay, or sell individually. I could now also start posting pics of everything in the collection if you guys want (I've already posted them on TFW2005 though), maybe 10 pics per post since that seems to be the limit here.
