šø How to Sell Your Toy Collection Without Getting Ripped Off
Share
Whether you're downsizing, making room for new grails, or cashing out entirelyāselling your toy collection should bring in what itās worth. But too many collectors leave money on the table. Hereās how to avoid the biggest mistakes and get top dollar.
š§ Step 1: Know What You Have
ā
Check eBay Sold Listings
Search for your exact figureāthen filter by āsoldā and ācompletedā items to see what people are actually paying.
š¦ Complete = More Value
Sealed in box (MIB/MOC) fetches the most. Loose figures can still be valuableābut accessories matter.
š¬ Step 2: Choose the Right Selling Platform
š eBay ā Great reach, but watch out for seller fees and chargebacks.
š Mercari ā Easy to use, lower fees, less competition.
š± WhatNot ā Live sales are booming. Engage buyers in real time.
š¤ PopFixx Toyz ā We often buy collections outright. Skip the hassle and get a fair offer.
šø Step 3: Take Clear, Honest Photos
-
Use a plain background
-
Show all angles, especially card backs or wear
-
Include accessories, COAs, and original packaging if possible
š” Pro tip: Photos can make or break your sale price.
š§¾ Step 4: Price RealisticallyāNot Emotionally
You may love that 1997 Venom figure, but if the market says itās $22 loose, thatās what buyers will pay. Use data, not nostalgia, to price.
š Want more? Watch for trendsācertain figures spike after movie trailers or show announcements.
š Avoid These Rookie Mistakes
-
ā Pricing based on what you paid for it
-
ā Selling without knowing current value
-
ā Using blurry photos or missing descriptions

ā Ignoring shipping cost and packaging needs
