I recently attended a toy show and a guy there had all of these vintage GI Joe dolls. The ones with beards and stuff. He even had one that was a deep sea diver GI Joe. And he had the octopus around his neck. Sold those dolls for a lot of money to some collector. Apparently they are very collectible.

We have about 300+ of them that we're trying to sell. Seems to be hard to sell them for a fair price though. No one up here want's to pay a lot for them. We have lots of them from the 80's.

Another GI Joe - Another collector's GI Joe
There's apparently a GI Joe convention in Atlanta in April, I think? Not sure where you live, but it might be worth your while to see about doing a toy show or two. Collectors come out of the wood work sometimes.

North of the boarder in Canada, so it would be a little hard to do a show. I guess we'd have to go through ours to see which ones were more valuable.

Im a big GI Joe collector here in the Philippines or at least I try to be... GI Joe figures and vehicles have made a sudden boom this past 2 years starting from teh reissue of the figures for the 25th anniversary line... A lot of classic retooled figures like SNake-eyes and STorm Shadow are already hard to find and fetching high prices off ebay or other online shops... Anyone wanting to sell off their vintage vehicles, try and contact me, maybe we could work out a deal or two.
