Nice checklists...is it possible to have the picture on the list (rather than by pressing a button) so that I can print off the lists and see what I have got? please please please

Hi, I like those checklists too, and the completeness for different versions, but I was wondering about those goldcord Christmas smurfs: some of them that I've seen do not have a gold cord, nor ring, nor does it seem like there had ever been a ring. Are those cordless, ringless smurfs fakes?

I am curious as to where these values are coming from because you recommend in another area to shop for smurfs on Yet the rarest smurfs (according to this site) that should be worth hundreds of dollars are available onfor three bucks. Granted, I'm not a smurf collector anymore, I did collect when I was a child. I would like to sell my collection to someone that would enjoy having it, but it is hard to figure out what a fair value is. Can you provide any insight? I advertised on your boards that I have some of these "very rare" smurfs but noone has contacted me yet, so are they really that rare and are smurfs in general that sought after? Thanks for your assistance, I'm just trying to learn.

Hi MarcyB,
Welcome to BlueBuddies!
A price guide is just that... a guide to understand value. At the end of the day, any item is only worth as much as a person is willing to pay for it. And it only takes one person to buy an item. In a booming market, there are plenty of people interested - items sell quickly and for more than the "average" price. In a depressed market, it may be harder to find a single buyer - things may take longer to sell and sellers may resort to lowering prices. Every market has its ups and downs. Many things can influence the market - like the the economy, the time of year, trends etc... A "fair value" for a Smurf will be what a seller and buyer can agree upon!
The rarity of the Smurf figure doesn't change. A rare Smurf will always be worth more than a common Smurf. Are there exceptions? Of course! You could go to a garage sale and buy a box full of Smurfs for $5.00. Inside that box could be the rareset Smurfs out there. (You could then turn around and sell them for a fortune!) Conversely, you can go onand see two individuals in a bidding war over a common Smurf and therefore driving the price up. Why? Because they both want that Smurf at the same point in time and are willing to pay more to get it!
Sometimes a Smurf will sell for more and sometimes less than the guide price - but it's a great starting point! It is also VERY helpful in determining the rarity of your Smurfs.
For example, the Smurf Price Guide lists the "rare" 2.0214 Baby Smurf with Blocks (the pastel blocks version) for $60.00 and just yesterday this Smurf sold on eBay for $66.00.

You might also consider selling your Smurfs on eBay - this link may be helpful!
Good luck with your sale!
PS - Please give me the link for the Smurfs "worth hundreds of dollars" selling on eBay for $3.00! I'd love to add it to my collection! I know you can find some great deals on but I've never been that lucky!!! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
-------------------- I love playing Smurf Games!!!
