Hello and Thank you for your quick response. I am sorry for not gettinback to you sooner, as i have had baseball games to umpire , etc... I did however find the site you reccomended and i am happy to have found out that i have quite the nice little collection, mostly from the 1970's. My collection consists of 31 different figurines. There are quite a few in near mint condition, but mostly they have a few very small "scuff" marks on them, so i would still consider them in excellent condition since they are 30 years old. Here's a list if you are interested in buying any from me, or know anyone who is looking for that "special one" from my era. I have Golfer smurf(1979), Field Hockey smurf(1980), Barbell smurf(with yellow belt), Cowboy smurf(1980), smurf with candy cane and present(1982), Magician smurf(black hat), Postal smurf(carrying heart,1979), swimmer smurf (red floatie,1977), rock n roll smurf(red guitar,1979), Artist smurf, Umbrella smurf(yellow umbrella,1979, this ones worth $65!!), emporer smurf(gold hat,1978), hang glider smurf(1978 with patched wings, this one's worth $30!!), Toothpaste smurf(1979), Baseball catcher smurf(1981, $30!!), Sitting smurf(1979), Australian rules football smurf, missing the "grass" underneath him($20), Papa smurf(1969), smurfette with hand on body(1971), Thanksgiving smurf and smurfette, Smurfette tennis(with red dots), smurfette soccer, smurfette cowgirl, smurfette golfer, smurfette cupid/ angel, smurfette witch, pink baby smurf with red rattle....total of the collection is around 425$ if it were ALL in "mint condition, so i'd say conservatively it's still worth over 300 dollars wouldn't you think? I've read on some sites that older smurfs can demand a bit higher price just because of their general rarity" of sorts??, is this something you know to be true? Anyhoo, thanks again for the response to my posting...take care now and have a smurfy day..

You're welcome. I'm also a Smurf collector, though only some models were sold in Brazil during the 80s (when the Smurfs cartoons were exhibited then), so that I had been increasing my collection in sites that sell Smurf figurines - Mushroom Village, for example. It buys Smurfs too, so here's the site:
http://www.mushroomvillage.com/ Click in "Contact Us", and you'll find "Sell Your Smurfs to Us".
For the time being, this is the one that I remember about buying Smurf figurines.
At the moment I'm not making any purchases but I intend to retake when I can. Thanks also for your kindness and take good care! ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
