Are Jakks worth anything anymore?

[Boy Wonder]

So I have a my old Jakks WWE Ruthless Aggression figures taking up a lot of space stuffed in about 3 big trash bags in a closet. Despite never getting rid of anything my entire life, I think I'd be ok letting most of these go.

My question is, would they be worth it? I don't want to bother piecing them out bit by bit except maybe a couple rarer ones, I'd like to sell them in a big lot, but is there a market for these anymore? And are people willing to pay what would be a pretty good price for shipping?

Depends on the state of them, if they are scuffed up you would make a couple of bucks. If loose but with no scuff marks, it would be probably be worsth something. But MOC gets money better

Depends on What you are selling, if they are MOC or loose, the rarity of the figure, condition, and how much the buyer values the figure to be.

Interested in any Divas but it does depend on the condition

[Boy Wonder]

They're all pretty decent, I always took good care of my stuff. Maybe a couple scuffs here and there and a loose shoulder or two, but I'm sitting here going through them all and they pretty much all look pretty nice.

What are some of the individual ones that are worth a decent amount? I have some like Kenzo Suzuki and Goldberg that I remember were popular. I'll have to itemize everything to see what I have.

[Boy Wonder]

Alright, I've got about 280-290 figures, mostly all in decent condition (7/10) some are pretty perfect, some are rough. But I'd say about 90% are 7 or better.

Some CS, some RA, couple exclusives. In general, do you guys think there would be a market for these if I tried to get about $300? A little over $1 a figure?

I'll also throw out that probably about 30% of them are mishmash figures. At some point I might face used them as fodder and switched heads, arms, boots, etc. But there's no or little paint damage or damage of any kind.

Honestly your best bet would be selling them at a flea market or something similar because I've tried selling my Jakks figures multiple times online and got zero bites. Not worth the hassle so I just put them away for good. Market is pretty much only good for the CS MOC and Mattel stuff.

MOC CS are so expensive.

If you took good care of them why did you throw them all together in a garbage bag   easiest way to scuff them and damage paint

IMO as a buyer and seller on FEEBAY hourly I think only the CS will hold there value mainly because of the nostalgia , quality and the depth of the roster as no other company will ever make as many legends and multiples as Jakks EVER as its just basic economics , Brooklyn Brawler , Danny Davis ect just wont make $$$ .

Lately the last few months MOC are really surging and even the loose figures still do great as theres still such a strong collectors/mods market and now even mattel collectors are trying to use jakks heads to bolster the minuscule mattel legends roster and they just look like bobble heads most of the time   , man I used to get Deluxe Beefcake figures for $7 shipped and now there selling for $20 and more for MOC. 

If you put them on feeebay either list them as Fodder all paint damaged ect or list them in lots that might attract specific buyers or even grade quality like the figure is a 8 or 9  and make sure if you put them on low bid to have enough shipping on them so you dont lose your butt , I mean so many times people put things on low they couldnt possibly make money and then the fees and would be better off just throwing it out as they would save money , Take care Good luck

Its like the freakin stock market sometimes and crazy bidders over paying by $15 when they could have bought it buy now for less   I try to stay out of those bid wars .

Your right Ronin as I tried it a few times with little response here but I just found a great guy to deal with in dalahnthegreat , he saved and I saved and I know what Im getting displayed items only and sure he could have got more on ebay but when you figure in shipping fees multiple fees ect he did much better too and I made a good friend and contact as I will received the hard to find parts and items Tomorrow , time to buy a fourth Detlof cabinet .
 
Right before that I recently purchased 25 items supposedly like new for $88 shipped in a auction bid and asked the seller to individually wrap them ect so they dont get damaged and I got a box of figures dumped in a box     just junk and I had to ship them back and eat $15 in shipping but I had feebay pick it up under buyer protection what a waste .

Unreal and who knows maybe the guy was PO as I won them for around $3 a figure but it was all junk anyways as I just looking in took a pic and  shipped it back and by far my worst transaction on feebay in 15 years but I will always buy and sell there .

Not loads but something

[LA Times]

Classic Superstars and guys Mattel will most likely never make like Ultimo Dragon, Kenzo Suzuki, Chris Benoit, etc are expensive on ebay

[Wicked]

Yes if you want people Mattel will never make or you just like the look of the jakks figures. I collect both Jakks and Mattel. I get an extra special feeling when buying an older jakks figure.

[Old School Collector]

I'm always looking for Jakks Classics MOMC, but it's so difficult to find someone who ..

A) Is willing to sell
B) Carding is 9/10 or better
C) Says they're " ... Just trying to get rid of them" but want more than Ebay prices.

Anybody have a freakin' CS 23 Berzerker that they want to sale ... I can never find a decent deal on one without the box being almost pointleas to display.

Did you sell off your collection? Did you have a shock master?

[poindizzle]

Certain characters who weren't overproduced can go okay on their own like Sylvester Terkay, but even then it isn't much. Most would fetch a couple bucks each. I'd take them out of those bags and stand them up straight in boxes. That's how mine are stored. The rubber parts like the hair pieces and kneepads are prone to pulling the color off other paint apps on other figures when they rub together. Also, eyebrows are most prone to being scuffed off. I won't buy a loose figure if it is missing eyebrow paint. It's my biggest peeve.
