Hi all,

I have a brand new SW0158a Chrome Gold C-3PO that I won in the Cartoon Network
Australia competition back in 2007.

It is the same as the SW0158 minifig that was hidden in random sets. However,
what makes this different is the way it was packaged and distributed. There are
only 100 of these particular figures, and they could only be obtained by winning
them in the afore

I was hoping to get the advice of the community on the best way to potentially
value and more than likely sell this item please? As in.... here.... eBay...
and/or any other places that might work?

Information on this particular figure seems scarce, probably because they are
quite limited I'd imagine...

Thanks in advance everyone.

Kind regards

Love it! I would try putting it on here. There’s got to be buyers for it. I decided
to put my unique items on BrinkLink because it’s the perfect place for Lego lovers.
The hardest part for me has been finding other listings anywhere so that you
can get an idea of what you should price it at. Good luck!

They don't have a store, so will have to go through the work of setting one
up just to sell a single item. And selling by auction gets around the pricing
issue. Start at the minimum you will accept, and you will get the current market
price for it since the bidders decide what the current market price is.

Not only would they need to become a Seller and set up a store, most people would
be very suspicious of a new store with an incredibly rare Minifig as it’s only
listing!
