I came upon a seller who says he might have these smurfs for sale, he can provide photos of them and has stated that they are original and that there exist more than one original smurf for each subject (the angel being the rarest) with genuine markings. I'm sure they cost a lot, but I'm asking you how much should be a fair price for one of them? Thanks.

These are very VERY rare smurfs, IF they are real.

If they are real, any price would be a fair price. 2000 Euro each wouldn't surprise me.
I wouldn't dare to take such a gamble though, certainly not because recently a rohling of one of them appeared. Just my two cents!

Just be very careful: we have very recently seen some fakes appearing for these: they were rohlings, but the painted ones are just the next step.

So be veruy careful.

Any seller who has these for sale and know their value would probably start an auction and make sure they are well advertised. A private sell would be suprising, not impossible, but surprising.

So make sure the seller checks out before you commit that sort of money!

Hi Paolo, these are such interesting smurfs. I was very lucky to watch the auctions these smurfs sold in, so exciting! As for price, well the figures that I quoted are in USD which at the time was much stronger so in "real" terms their prices would be even higher in Todays Euro or GBP!

They were sold by a very well known collector (at the time) who apparently used to work for Schleich and sold off an incredible collection of very very rare smurfs and the general opinion at the time was that these were real. These smurfs were sold to different people so the person you are in contact with didn't have these ones. As for how many of these exist, as far as I know no one knows.

The fact that fakes of these can be produced to me is very worrying because apart from anything else, I am sure it would effect the value of the real ones and these days so many smurfs are being faked purely to rip people off. :x

I have heard stories that the current owners of these three have declined very higher offers (thousands) to sell them so whether we will ever see them being sold publicly I just don't know.

I have a feeling Martin (member BundleOfKent) has actually seen one of these smurfs in real life. Maybe he might have a little more info.

Why is it called "common sense" when it is so rare.......

Are the raws of these coming out of Germany? I know that's where most of these new horrible plaster of paris smelling ones come from.
