Old Star Wars Action Figures – What are They Worth?

Even if you were not a big fan of the Star Wars movies, you likely had your share of time to play with Star Wars vintage action figures.  After all — Star Wars dominated a portion of the science fiction genre starting in the late 1970’s, and the demand for these action figures continues today.
With the popularity of Star Wars vintage action figures in mind, oftentimes we wonder what certain toys, vehicles, or characters, might bring in if we wanted to sell them.  Before we begin, however, something that we should state is that, as with many vintage toys, the true value is in the eye of the beholder.  While an X-Wing Starfighter may realistically be worth $50 to $250 on the open market, a certain collector may actually be willing to pay much more than the going rate for these vintage star wars action figurines and vehicles.  
Here are two resources that may be able to help you identify the value of your Star Wars vintage action figures.
