That lot is best served for someone just getting started with collecting. And honestly, many of those figures are pretty common. But I'm sure Cenation would have a blast selling all those accessories. On a side note: Who the hell is Marmadukewood? I know he gets on here. The dude has some reasonable prices.

do yourself a favor, sell off one by one. It will take longer and be more tedious, but you will get more money when all is said and done.

When you sell basics in a large lot they tend to average $5 a piece, and elites at $10 a piece. Thats when its a very large lot like this. I did a quick add and would estimate this at $800-850. $900 isn't out of the question because it might be worth it for one of the ebay stores to buy and piece it out. If you were to sell it off all separately you could easily break $2000 I would say. That's if you have the time and patience. Another way to make a little more would be groups of 10-15 figures at a time and don't list everything at once.
One thing I do when I sell larger lots is try to sell off a bunch on the classifieds here for $12-20 or more depending on the figure, and whatever isn't selling I will put in a lot on ebay so that I get more than $10 average per figure.

Don't sell it as one giant lot. There are some collectors that only want legends, or modern guys, or hasbros. Divide this into three or four lots, and you're more likely to get positive results. People don't want to pay for figures they don't want. That always happens when you buy in bulk, but it's worse when you crossover figure lines and companies. Your hasbros have value, but if I don't collect them I don't want to pay for them just to get the Mattels I need. And likewise, if I want your hasbros, I'm not gonna buy your Mattels just to get them.

I think lots sell better than single figures, and there is less risk of one package having delivery/handling problems than 10 or 15. Yet they have to be catered to various factions of collectors. I'm thinking 3 or 4 smaller lots would maximize the returns, separating modern Elites, Legends, and Hasbros for starters.

Start with a lower price, stick a reserve on it, or dont even necessarily do that and you will attract far more people

Not many people have $900 spare that they want to spend on wrestling dolls - but a lot of people will bid quite high on a DX elite Shawn Michaels. I think you're either gonna have to separate them or sell the lot for way cheaper than you're hoping.

Even moc you wouldn't get anything near 900. 300 sounds more realistic.

Honestly, I would start it at .01 and list "NO RESERVE". More people will watch it and feel like they have a better chance. A better chance will build desire for the set, desire will lead to impulse bids, continued thought and research as the price grows higher. Scalpers with cashflow will view this as an opportunity OR someone who realizes there are gems will watch, bid and be ready to win to avoid the backtracking to complete the collection.
Make sure you emphasize the condition (joint condition, paint etc) and if there is any issue with smoke, pet fur etc.
Also, I would retake the photos with the items on a nice, white background, just for better presentation.
Good luck and share the results!

I'd separate the accessories, the Jakks, and the Hasbros. You got some rare figs in there like DX HBK, but there's a bunch I wouldn't want just to get that one. I always tell people, if you wanna make that kind of money, take your time, take good pics, and list them properly.

This is the auction that planted the seed that i could get $900 as a group. www.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/itm/HUGE-WWE-166-Figure-lot-JAKKS-MATTEL-Superstars-Elite-Classic-and-Accessories-/330851081089?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item4d0842db81&nma=true&si=YLxAmDIUYT6605t5gZ5Xf3zSDMI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 It ended at 875 and i feel like my lot is actually better/rarer. I did bump my classifieds post and am fielding offers again. So confused at to what to do. Part of me thinks you guys are right about making more by moving them slowly.

That's way too steep. I have 150 figures at least plus rings and cages and so on and If I ever sold my collection I had it graded and valued around $2,000. You don't even got half of what I got here so I would honestly either start the entire lot out at $499 or split it up into 8 lots of 10 figures each with accessories then ask $80 per lot. That's the best way to do it really cause when someone shows up at your auction page and see's you have 8 different lots, of 10 superstars in each lot plus a few weapons for $80, someone is going to feel they are getting their money's worth from it more and bid. You might actually get a few ppl bidding on a few lots and raising them up to $100 and making you more then. For the lots that don't sell, just drop the price and re run them or mix them up with one of the other non sellable lots and re run it

I did bump my classifieds post and am fielding offers again. So confused at to what to do. Part of me thinks you guys are right about making more by moving them slowly. You do have a few good figures in your lot, but this dude has over twice as many as you. So since you only got half of what he gots, figure around $499 like I said. Once you open a figure from the packaging, and did not save the box, it really loses value. Ppl want more for their money. So if they see a lot of 80 figures for $900 or a lot of 166 figures for $900, they are going to go with the 166 lot because they are getting more for their buck. Doesn't matter that you have more Mattels.

No you wont and I wouldnt put all that stuff together if you broke it down into 3 or 4 lots you would probably get more than selling it all.

$900 is far too high dude. I hope im not insulting you but id start the bidding at about $300 and take it from there. Ive a complete legends/flashbacks collection that im thinking of selling on eBay and im wondering what i could get for mine.

I did a little more completed listing research and look at this. www.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/itm/Wwe-mattel-lot-60-figures-all-mint-condition-displayed-only-free-shipping-/251238958613?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item3a7f024615&nma=true&si=YLxAmDIUYT6605t5gZ5Xf3zSDMI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 My lot is definitely better than this and it had 46 bids!

People love to bid. Its the thrill of the ebay auction. I have had figs with a BIN with free shipping not sell. Then I relist them in an auction format, starting at 99 cents with a shipping charge, and they end up selling for more than what the BIN price wasthat didn't sell.
