I have many MISB new sets, but mostly because I haven't got round to opening them yet. I'm not deliberately collecting MISB sets, because I have no interest in collecting as a means of making money, either now or in the distant future.

Same here.   :lol:  For me, it's not the box that's important; it's the contents.

How much profit it there in trading in MISB? You'll have to keep them for quite a while, if you buy them new. And if they are already some years old, aren't they very hard to find? Couldn't you make more money spending time doing a real job?

Don't get me wrong, I like trading on the net very much. But I trade in items that make a quite some money. 3-10 times what I payed for them.

Some of my playmo is still in the box. Sometimes because I have the set twice, sometimes because I don't need it and I keep it as a gift for a child or for bartering.

to say the truth the old set's are the ones that make money if you win a rare wanted item you can sell it for much more . from the new sets i don't think they will be really so much desired  even 30 - 20 years  after perhaps the romans because they are very well disighned or the egyptians yes !!!!!! most of the new playmobil i believe they are ignored . when you sell on ebay all you win it's your's or they keep from you some amound??

Hello

I  must say I disagree with this thought. I have a large amount of MISB new sets and many of them have tripled in value in a very short time. I do not purchase them with this intent but I am in no way complaining that they have. One set I have  5 or so duplicates was so undesirable Playmobil clearanced it for less than half the original price. Six months later it was all over ebay getting super high prices every time. It still commands high prices and it is a very modern set. This does not happen with every set though. I have many that have only retained their original value. If you keep anything long enough it will become a classic sooner or later and with Playmobil being such a well made expensive toy, it is in a special league. Some dreadful day Mr Bran. will pass and the future of Playmobil will be in question only adding to the toy lines rarity. Who knows, the kids sell the company to Mattel  and in classic US fashion, out source all production to the cheapest bid and anything that was produced prior is now more desirable than ever (all of it, even the space sets)
