Id considered it for a while, but I think it's time.
Just want advice from some of you guys.
I have A LOT that I wanna move. What's the best bet? I know it's likely eBay, but I wanna avoid fees wherever I can.
What lot sizes move best? What price ranges? I want to move as much as I can, as soon as I can.
I've tried the classifieds here but not a lot of luck. Actually no luck.
Most of what I have is loose.

Ebay, 100%, theres no question, the fees are worth it, you have Millions of potential customers, you have seller protection from ebay and paypal too. If i was to sell my collection, ebay would be my first port of call

A lot of people on here have figures listed forver and don’t want to put prices and ignore questions in the thread. If it’s gojng slow this would be my advise list your price, don’t list things above what they can be bought online (another thing lots of people here think they can do) and be responsive in your trade thread.

If i was to sell my collection, ebay would be my first port of call I'm surprised at how smooth it's been for me(I'm dumping a couple of my "dead" collections) just be sure to set up your "buyer restrictions" in your account.

I used Ecrater a lot to sell stuff, it's a great way to dodge ebay fees. I list stuff on ebay, inform the buyer that they can buy the item on my Ecrater store to get a 5% discount, and they often go for it. Ebay takes like 13% or some stupid thing, so I don't mind passing some of the savings onto the buyer because I still get more than if I had sold on ebay. With Ecrater: •There are no fees (other than Paypal's of course) •The store is simple to set up and free You can pay some fees and they will list your store on Google Shopping, but you don't have to. This store is great for selling on forums, where you're already advertising your stuff for sale anyway.
As far as prices go, man, I see peeps on here talk about spending $60 on exclusive figures, but then they won't even pay $30 for a full blown quality custom lol. I don't understand the disconnect, but I'm sure if you list Elites at $10 to $15 with free shipping you'll catch a lot of flies/bees/whatever the saying is. Plus you can make deals way easier with Ecrater since ebay censors a lot of your communication if you try to make deals.

How have you had no luck, when you haven’t even posted them in the Classifieds?

That’s why I asked.

I’d be interested too if your looking to sell you’re figures.
In terms of prices, it’s probably best for you to look at the figures that have been sold on eBay recently and get a feel for the prices that people are willing to pay for each figure.

Ebay is probably best, but take PayPal and ebay fees into account. Use something like finalfeecalc.com to get the best idea of what you are going to get. If you try to do something by bulk and don't have a scale to weigh it, i would suggest looking up the closest USPS self service kiosk and use it to get the weight. You could also try facebook groups but be prepared for either a lot of time waster or price bashers. And last if you have any Lex Lugers, you can just send those burdens my way.

I've only ever sold on eBay, so that would be my advice... I usually get all the photos, details and prices ready, then wait for a "final value £1/$1" weekend, so eBay don't take the usual 10% (they're usually around public holidays).
If you know you have any rare/more expensive figures, then you're best off listing them individually/separately - then put the others into groups: (eg. "Huge Mattel WWE Attitude Era Collection") - or if you have a lot of figures of a particular wrestler, maybe you could sell them all together (eg. "Huge Mattel Undertaker collection - Elite, Basic etc.").
Good luck!

Maybe try Facebook groups? I've had better luck there than Classified for the most part.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve been ignored in a classifieds thread. My thought process as a buyer is if you won’t answer a question in your own thread you’re probably asking a mint and I’m not that bothered. “PM me for prices” is a death knell for quick sales I find.
