Better to sell in a lot or parse off one-by-one?
Any keyword tricks I should know about?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm struggling with the same questions. Shipping is super expensive either way.
I sold a lot of 12 to a guy in California. Cost $40 to ship from PA.

yeah, choose the option that the shipping is based on the buyers location that way there is no way you'll underestimate the cost. pay the postage online & print the labels because you get a discount in the postage vs what they charge in the postoffice. if parcel post is cheaper than priority send it thaat way

I know the title says classic superstars, but any chance you will sell any DAs?

sell them one by one. and if u have all of the classics that was made. I notice Berserker, Lance Storm, Spike Dudley, & Steve Blackman all go for good money. the rest is a gamble. another suggestion, have a flat rate shipping price. i.e. if your figures are all still in package. have a shipping price of 7.99 priority mail, with 2$ every other carded figure. and if your collection is loose, most loose figures weigh 4 oz. so 3.99 1st class mail, with 1$ extra every other single loose figure. hope this helps.

I'm currently in the same situation. My collection is lose. I've made the prices for some but completely underestimated the shipping for a lot of them. Also some people basically want them for flea market price after shipping. Personally I would sell the more popular ones on their own and then sell the rest as a lot.

I do not know how many figures that the OP has, but the only problem with selling figures individually is that the most popular ones will go fairly rapidly and you will be stuck with a quantity that few people are going to want other than those filling in a collection.
If you have a large number of them, I would try to sell them as a large lot originally a few times through the Ebay cycle and if there are no buyers, parcel them into lots of anywhere in the vicinity of 3 - 7 with a popular figure or two included along with some fairly popular figures and some of the not so popular ones. A sampling of each might lure in a buyer who wants 2 - 3 of the seven to go for it.

Same issue here. Girlfriend is demanding I free up space for all the new Mattel stuff by selling off some of the old. So I boxes upon boxes full of Jakks CS, and I feel like there's almost no demand for them. Anybody think there's a better option than ebay? I feel like I probably have 75% of the entire CS run, MOC, and then about 50% loose (Can't believe I opened that LOD two-pack!!!).

You can get free priority mail boxes via usps.com website. The rates for those boxes will be cheaper than normal priority mail in some cases. A large flat rate box or even a medium box could fit twelve figures, if loose. And the price would be like $12-15 or so from coast to coast. Also, try the ebay shipping labels program. You will get percentage off your postage compared to the postal service. |

I just PM'd you. Maybe we can work something out. My wife keeps telling me the same thing but I just sneak more stuff into the attic when she isnt home. lol |
