Hello,

I was wondering. How much do complete blue soldiers go for each? This • includes
shoulderpads, backpack, hat, cutlass, and pistol. Please email me, not just
post to Lugnet. Thanks.

Just for the others that are curious, it all depends.  I don't like to spend
much over $3.50 for a soldier with shako, epaulettes, musket and backpack. • It
it's missing stuff, my price goes down.  Loonies at auczilla have paid as
much for a shako or backpack as I do for the entire figure.  Less cheap • people

No, no, no, ignore him.  They're only worth five cents.  Kind soul that I am, • I'll
take them all off your hands for a dime each!  ;)

Seriously, though, Bruce is right--they're quite valuable if in excellent
condition.  I've seen them go (and I've bought them) for <$2.00 for worn and
incomplete without shako to $5.00 for perfect condition with shako, musket, • and
epaulettes.  YMMV.

Yes, it should be noted that I don't demand absolutely pristine condition (but
at the same time I don't want 'em thrashed).  If they are in immaculate
condition, expect them to go towards $5 a fig (I've seen as high as $8, but I
consider this overbidding).
