Apologies in advance if this is in the incorrect forum and/or thread. Please move accordingly.
I'm looking for a little friendly advise from those in the know. I'm currently undergoing some personal downsizing, which I've chosen to include my wrasslin' men. I believe I'm sitting on about 35 figures or so, nothing crazy or super 1/100 rare.
My question is simply which has been better in your experience, selling all figures in bulk or selling them individually?
I'm not new to this game, so I'm not looking to make my money back. Just trying to get a feel for how people are typically buying now online.
Around the Jakks to Mattel change, I sold most of my old RA and DA figures online to a father across the country for a very cheap price ($75.00 for 100 + Figures) who's son looked rather happy when the box arrived per the pictures that were emailed to me after the fact. But a scenario like that doesn't come along every day, so I'm a little lost here.
I can provide more info on what I have, if it would help. I figured people who typically sell or buy may have some valuable insight.
Thanks you all for reading, and to those that may respond.

Sell in bulk if you want them gone quick, and seperately for maximum money. In bulk your buyer will will be a dealer so has to make a profit. Who do you have? Any Warrior?

35 isnt that many. You could probably make more listing them individually until your top sellers are gone, and sell whats left in bulk at discount if truly wanting to get rid of them all.

I've personally had great luck selling figures on facebook through local pages. Moms love to buy them for their kids. I usually can get $5 a piece for common basics and they sell much faster than they would if you sold them on ebay. Plus, there are no taxes or fees selling them this way.

Individually will get you a lot more money. But if you want them gone fast, sell in a lot
If you have a tag team, but them together. Also, I'd keep the belts with who they came with as well

I'd sell individually at first, and then whatever doesn't sell I'd try to move as a group.

It depends.
If you want rid of them quickly, bulk.
If you want the most money, one by one.

Individually if you have time. I sold 12 elites, 2 divas, 2 basic managers as a lot last fall and the winning bid was $120. This included many $40+ elites. Needless to say it sucked and I highly regret shipping them, regardless of the feedback I would have got. I was expecting $350 or more

i would say depending on your current situation you will probably receive more money by selling individually but if you need the money desperately i say sell in lot
