I own a misprint lego minifigure, it's the lego DJ series 8, the picture
of the figure is on my store 'Boise Bricks' and I'm willing to make
a deal. I also want to know how to determine a misprint worth. Thank you for
any help!

This is the 12th thread you have started about this figure.

I somehow doubt anyone will pay anywhere near the $1000 you have it listed for.

If I was to have bought this torso in this condition to complete a figure I'd
be upset and ask for a refund.

Well, considering this user has posted about this misprint several times now,
I think there's zero chance of it being listed without a description clearly
saying it's a misprint. At that point, it's on you if you buy it not
wanting a misprint.

To the OP, there are absolutely people willing to pay *slightly* more for misprinted
parts, you just have to know where to look. There's a big misprints group
on Facebook, you could ask there. Or do as another user suggested to you and
list it as an auction on ebay. This part will not make you rich, so the stakes
are low. List it here for whatever you think is actually reasonable, then lower
the price every week or so until it sells. You won't get any better responses
by asking here for the 10th time.

Listing it at $1000 will put off probably most people, even if they might have
made an offer. If someone was willing to pay $10 would they offer 100x less than
the seller is asking? More likely they would least favourite the store due to
the very unreasonable pricing than make an offer that is so low compared to what
the seller is asking for it.

Someone has what looks to be the exact same misprint on a popular auction site
listed for $45. I doubt it will sell but if it does, there’s the price your looking
for.
