San Diego Padres Bobble Value Question

TBTwinsFan · Dec 28, 2013

I saw one of these yesterday and decided to grab it. From what I can gather, it was an SGA in 2001. It was the first bobblehead given away at Padres games, and was only given to kids.

It's the 4th SGA I've found and purchased between my 2 thrift stores, and probably the best.

While I think it's cool, I would like to sell it to help fund some purchases. However, I have no clue what to ask for it, and eBay hasn't helped. Any ideas?

I can only offer an opinion. Since it doesn't feature a specific player and doesn't appear to be that old, it probably doesn't have a wide collector base and thus not a great resale value either. However, my bobble knowledge extends only to those couple of Garvey bobbles I have purchased and one my dad gave me from the 60s (black Sonic player). I also have an Everett Aquasox giveaway bobble that I only have because I lack the ability to get rid of anything sports related, especially if it was free.

I personally don't even care for them at all. They are pretty ugly for a collectible and not quite a toy, so they fall somewhere in the middle of collectible and toy. hopefully someone with more knowledge will respond. Good Luck.

I wish I could use eBay. That's a great idea.

Why cannot you use Ebay?

I have a student paypal account. It lets me buy, but I cannot sell.

That's a great bobble head. I bought mine for $35. They're pretty rare and I personally love anything Friar related.

Not sure you'll have much luck selling it here but on eBay it should fetch somewhere between $35-50. I think I even remember seeing some sales closer to $60 in the past.

It's a really great tool actually.

I'd like to have a regular account for selling, but paypal only allows 1-per person.

That's good to hear!

I only paid a buck for it, which is awesome.

It was tucked away on a china shelf or something. I couldn't pay for it fast enough.

How does Paypal verify you are a student though?

There are a lot of things about it that I don't really know. I should read up on it to make sure I can still have it.

Originally, I got it when I was 15 or 16. As a college student, it's a great resource to have, but it won't allow me to sell on eBay. I need a regular account to do so.
