Just a little freaky
I have recently found an Iron Man Mark VII and Agent Coulson up for sale, with the Iron Man being about $410 with shipping and everything, and Coulson being around $300. If I get both I can save on shipping so it's just under $700 for both figures with shipping and taxes. I am just wondering, is it a good buy? Being from Canada, shipping and import fees are a huge addition to the cost, unless I'm able to find a Canadian seller. Although there are some people selling Coulson for $250 on ebay, once you include shipping and import fees it adds on another $100 or more to the cost of the figure. So that $250 figure can skyrocket up to $375. Same goes for Iron Man. I'm a bit iffy about buying on ebay too, just for fear of getting ripped off or getting a fake, especially with the high price for figures.
Anyway, would the price of the figures go up enough to warrant buying them now for $700, or would it be better to wait to see if I can get them cheaper on ebay? Since I'm new to the hobby, I don't really know much about how figures appreciate in value. Have prices stayed steady on figures, so that there aren't huge price increases down the road? I just don't want to wait and then the figures skyrocket in price to double their price or higher (like Loki or Hawkeye are now - over $400...thankfully I PO'd Loki nearly 2 years ago). I've heard great things about the Iron Man Mark VII figure, and like that it comes with a lot of different accessories. I also like that it has the classic looking red and gold suit. And I've been a fan of Coulson since he first appeared and would love to display him with my Cap figure....or maybe Loki. LOL.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
