Original Statue Prices Resource???

With the new law that went into effect on January 1, 2022 regarding money transfers (payments) through PayPal, Venmo, eBay and so on being reported to the IRS, it is obviously in our best interests to be able to deduct the original price of a statue (bust, diorama, prop replica, glicee and so on), the taxes paid, shipping paid and any storage fees (don't know about you, but I have rented a storage unit) to acquire and keep the statue, and then also the costs associated with selling (eBay fees, PayPal fees, shipping et cetera) once you decide to sell an item, so that they can all be deducted from whatever income is reported to the IRS when you file your taxes.

In that spirit, I was a very poor record keeper. I have some of the receipts from my statue and bust purchases, but since I never thought it would be necessary, I didn't keep them all. I imagine that I am not the only one who has done this.

So all of this has me wondering if anyone knows of any resource where we can find the original prices for Bowen, Dynamic Forces, Sideshow, Hard Hero, DC Direct et cetera. So far Google hasn't been helpful.

Anyone have any ideas to share?

Are you really thinking about tax returns out of statues from the past..?

Anyway.. Few years ago (4 or 5 yrs) Sideshow had a good archive with the older statues (around 2004 upto 2014).
Now only goes back a few yrs.
https://www.sideshow.com/archive

Through Google there are some of the older links still active, but many statues (when i started collecting) I can't find either.

Yeah, that's me...I'm not sure if I hold the record for being banned, but I took a few vacations for pushing the humor envelope...I started the "When it's ok to use the F-word" thread (among others)...LOL!

Not sure what you mean by: "Are you really thinking about tax returns out of statues from the past..?"

But I'm having to sell off my collection and the timing couldn't be more wrong due to this new law, so I'm looking for the most information I can find about original pricing since I bought most of my statues, dioramas and busts directly from Bowen and Sideshow.

I've scoured my old email and found as much as I can from there.

I wonder if Danny has any records...I bought several through ComicStatues.

That was a loooong vacation indeed.

I just thought about this option for older info and prices; There are a lot of solid review sites. Forgot most their names.. But for example:

http://www.mwctoys.com/pastreviews.htm

If you type 'sideshow premium format' in search bar there you get older ones like e.g. these..

http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_121208a.htm

http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_062310a.htm

Or this site with less sideshow but other brands:
