Well - time has come to sell off a bunch of my collection. I do so with a heavy heart, but I'm moving more into high end collectables like hot toys and enterbay. More about the room then money. I would like to make some money, but if I average out at $8-10 a figure I would be stoked. Anyway I have a mountain of figures to sell. I know the demand is low, but how should I sell them? My first thought is to list as singles and see what goes. Maybe the earlier sets as groups? Maybe by wrestler? Eg. Listing all the Warriors together? I do have a post in the classifieds and have started listing on the bay. Here is a pic of what I am looking to move.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

If you sell them in a lot I would try to pair a lesser demanded figure with a higher one just to ensure you don't get stuck with too many that don't sell.
Selling them by series isn't a bad idea. I would not sell by wrestler tho.
I'd be interested in buying a few too.

From my experience, selling large lots can be a long wait. I had large amounts of OSFTM and Toybiz WCW figures that I tried selling as single lots and you have to either wait for the right buyer or put them in smaller lots. Of course you have to find the right buyer or buyers too, and I was lucky (in my estimation) as it took me 8 months to clear them even then. I had reduced the figures into smaller lots, with, as the poster above said, mixing in popular and not so popular items together, but I found a buyer that wanted all that he could get his hands on and he bought 8 lots from me after I had sold 6 smaller lots in the previous 7 months. If the right buyer comes along, you might sell them quicker than I did, but you likely will not be able to sell them all as one lot. Pricing is a factor too. If you give in some on your price for multiple purchases, you can get close to what you need to at least break even on what you spent. Be aware that shipping can be expensive and factor that into your price. I basically gave away some LJN figures by not calculating an accurate shipping price and factoring in Ebay and Paypal costs.
