Help with new Teddy appraisal?

[iiviirriivii]

Hey folks! I have in my possession a brand new Teddy Ruxpin little boppers, it's never been taken out of the box! I've been looking online to see how much something like this goes for but I'm only coming up with very general assessments. Presumably because having one in this kind of condition is quite rare, I'd imagine.

It was suppose to be a Christmas gift for me when I was a little kid but my dad hid it so well we never found it, until recently! Poor teddy has been sitting inside bags and under blankets in one of my dad's storage facility's all these years.

I'd like to give him to a good home but I have no idea what his value would be like today. Can anyone give me a hand with this?

It's hard to say the market value on these types of items. They were not as abundant in production as the general merchandise and can fetch more money in the right market in the right condition.

As it is brand new and in-box, to a collector this piece would be worth much more than a bopper in used condition. To someone who may want to pass on their youth to their children, they would probably rather have one that has been recently used and tested. Even though it's never been out of the box, chances are after sitting for that long it probably has some mechanical issues. Boppers in general didn't last long. I've only come across a few that still work. Infrequent use and good storage seem to be the key factors.

I wouldn't take less than $50 for it. I'd list it on Ebay with that as a start.
