Boba Fett is a cult-hero among Star Wars fans - a rare figure of the bounty hunter sold for a world record £26,000 in 2016.
Even if you don't have a figure worth tens of thousands of pounds, most Boba figures still sell for a decent price.

Harrison Ford's Han Solo met a grizzly end in the last film, The Force Awakens, after being killed by his son Kylo Ren.

The hero of the entire saga, Luke Skywalker is meant to be taking centre stage in the latest film as he returns from years in the wilderness.

Kenner Yoda with Snake £43
This 1980s figure of everyone's favourite Jedi Master, Yoda, which comes with a pet snake was sold for £43 - not bad for a toy that would have been sold for a couple of quid when it went on sale.
How do I go about selling items on eBay?
If you do have a stash of Star Wars toys that you want to get rid off, then there's a few thing you need to know about selling on eBay.
Always set a reserve price
We all know that setting a low starting price will attract buyers - but you don't want to end up selling your goods for less than they're worth.
Setting a reserve price means that you can still set a low starting price, with the guarantee you won't get less than what you want for it.
If the auction doesn't reach your hidden reserve price, then the item won't sell and you are not obliged to hand it over to the highest bidder.
However, if your item does sell for more than the reserve price then you'll be charged a fee of four per cent for the privilege of setting one.
Watch out for seller's fees
You can list up to 20 things for free every month but there is a charge if you sell.
If you manage to sell your item then eBay will charge you ten per cent of the money you made - this includes postage and packaging.
So if you sold something for £100, eBay will charge you £10. You need to take this into account when you pick a starting price for your stuff.
The sellers fees vary depending on what it is you're selling. For example, if you're selling a car it will .
PayPal also charges sellers. Even though the online payment system is free to use when you're buying something, it will charge you 3.4 per cent of the final amount, plus 20p for each transaction.
Add this on top of your eBay fees and it's a sum that could really eat into your profit.

Be honest with what your are selling
Firstly, lying about what you're selling is breaking consumer law.
Secondly, you don't want to end up in a situation where you've gone to the effort of listing your stuff, sold it and posted it only for it to be returned.
If it's not in perfect condition, don't say that it is, and if it's got any scratches or blemishes point them out with high quality photographs.
