Tips For Selling Action Figures

I have been an avid collector of action figures all my life and today I am a proud owner of 1700 figures dating from 1975 to 2008. That’s almost 33 years or three decades of collecting action figure toys. After all, owning rare and original figures of my favorite comic books’ characters, TV series characters, and movie characters is an old hobby, and one I must admit, that is highly cherished. Besides, I also know many people who have crossed the 40 year mark, and still love to collect figures!

But once in a while I must produce space for new inclusions in my selection as well as for this I need to market a few. If you are also thinking of selling some of your figures, old and new, then you will need a little help. The important things to know are:

1. At what price you can sell your action figures
2. How or where you can find buyers for them.

Here is an insight into the process of selling your action figures.

Price of your Action Figure

Pricing of your action figure will depend on several factors such as:

Year of manufacture: You can’t sell your 1989 figure for the same price as your 2006 figure unless it falls in the vintage category. A quick Google search for a particular figure should show the various details about the manufacturer and the date the figure was manufactured. You can also visit popular auction websites and action figure stores to find out the market prices for new and old action figures. This will provide you with a rough estimate of the kind of price that you need to quote.

Condition of action figure: Whether it is a brand new figure, a vintage series, a used figure or a packed one; you need to check the following before you can sell them:

• They should not be torn or creased in any way
• They should not have cracks on the plastic
• They should not be warped in any manner
• The plastic should not be discolored
• The action figures should not have any scratches or even minor damages

What you need to understand is that your action figures will be worth much more if they are in good condition.

Hot sellers: You should search over the internet for action figures that are considered to be hot sellers. You’ll find several listings with a few common titles like GI May well, Star Wars, Spiderman, Wolverine, etc. If you have a hot product then you can get a good price for it. So start by selling those action figures, which are more in demand.
