Auction Watch & Price Guide

Some of the questions I get e-mailed most are "How much is my 2-XL worth?" and "What would be a good price to ask for it?" So to try and give an educated answer, I've started tracking how 2-XL has been selling on eBay in 2003.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that I am not experienced in making price guides. I have come up with my own system for figuring out an average price, and this may not match the way other toy, card or comic price guides are compiled. Specifically:

  • An obvious flaw in my system is I am only tracking one selling outlet (eBay);
  • I have only started tracking this as of January 5 2003, so this currently only reflects a small amount of sales. As I track it for longer I expect these amounts to change radically;
  • This list does not yet distinguish between if an item is loose, packaged, complete or incomplete, (but I am tracking them and will be working on this in the future). Part of the reason I'm not breaking those down yet is that so far it seems to have had no affect on the bidding. Now of course if a tape has its booklet it's worth more, but that apparently doesn't guarantee that it will sell for more. And lastly;
  • I still bid on items myself, as I'm looking to find the last few booklets or cards I need, and find the occasional rare item. This means I'm influencing the news I'm reporting. I'm certainly not deliberately slanting any of it, or placing bids just to raise the value of anything, but it is worth mentioning.

    This is by no means a value guide, it is simply a sales guide. As the saying goes, "something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it." So I'm basing this entire guide on what I'm seeing people committing to pay. I am also assuming that everyone who bids on eBay is honorable and follows through with their payment. This guide in no way guarantees that your items will sell at this amount, and we hold no repsonsibility if it sells for less! I am simply including the information here as a service, both to people wanting to sell their 2-XL toys and for 2-XL fans who may be wondering how much the one they want may cost them, and how often it comes up for sale.

    Having said all that, I can offer the following advice:

  • SELLING IN LOTS vs SELLING EACH TAPE SEPERATE: Both methods have their advantage. I used to recommend people sell tapes in lots. The advantage to this is that one person might want the copy of "Exercise with 2-XL" while another person has their eye on that copy of "Sports 2," so they compete for it and push the total bid up. I used to often see large lots get the most bids and go for $40 - $60. But for some reason that's changed lately, and the lots are only going for $20.00 or so, which is bringing the average price per tape below $2.00. Individual tapes, on the other hand, are now more often bringing in $2.00 - $5.00 each, so they're actually going for more. But on the downside, every one I've seen selling individual tapes ends up with some unsold tapes. So both methods have their pros and cons.

  • KEY WORDS TO USE IN YOUR LISTINGS: I recommend trying to work all of these into your title: "2XL," "2-XL," "robot," "tape," and/ or "tapes." (People also tend to use "game" or "games" but I recommend against this as the listing tends to get buried in with sports t-shirts.) Using all these words should get your auction seen by the most people. A lot of times I see a 2-XL sell (or not sell) totally because of how it was listed. People who only list it as "2-XL" and not "2XL" (and vice versa) end up being seen by completely different people. Last year I saw a Tiger 2-XL with no box and no tapes sell for $50.00, because it was the only one available under that spelling-- while at the same time a very nice Tiger 2-XL with box and 5 tapes went unsold with a minimum bid of just $15.00. Great for the guy selling the $50 one, not so great for the guy buying it or the guy selling the $15 one.

    HOW I COMPILE THIS LIST: When a lot of 2-XL tapes sells, I divide the amount it sold for by the number of items sold. I then add up the total value of each item sold with other lots, and divide them by the total number of that item. For example: if LOT 1 contained a Mego 2-XL with 4 tapes and sold for $10.00, each item is assigned a value of $2.00. Meanwhile LOT 2 contained a Mego 2-XL with 4 tapes and sold for $20.00, so each item is assigned a value of $4.00. That means 2 Mego 2-XLs sold for a total of $6.00, making the average cost of a Mego 2-XL $3.00. Any tapes that were in both lots would also have an average price of $3.00, while any tapes exclusive to LOT 1 would have an average price of $2.00 and any tapes exclusive to LOT 2 would have an average price of $4.00.

    Also, please note that although there is a lot of Kasey the Kinderbot stuff being sold on eBay, I am not including it here. This is because Kasey is still being produced, so all Kasey items should still be easily available at regular retail prices at all regular retail outlets.

    I hope this guide helps!
