šŸ’ø How to Sell Your Toy Collection Without Getting Ripped Off

Whether you're downsizing, making room for new grails, or cashing out entirely—selling your toy collection should bring in what it’s worth. But too many collectors leave money on the table. Here’s how to avoid the biggest mistakes and get top dollar.


🧠 Step 1: Know What You Have

āœ… Check eBay Sold Listings
Search for your exact figure—then filter by ā€œsoldā€ and ā€œcompletedā€ items to see what people are actually paying.

šŸ“¦ Complete = More Value
Sealed in box (MIB/MOC) fetches the most. Loose figures can still be valuable—but accessories matter.


šŸ’¬ Step 2: Choose the Right Selling Platform

šŸ›’ eBay – Great reach, but watch out for seller fees and chargebacks.
šŸ› Mercari – Easy to use, lower fees, less competition.
šŸ“± WhatNot – Live sales are booming. Engage buyers in real time.
šŸ¤ PopFixx Toyz – We often buy collections outright. Skip the hassle and get a fair offer.


šŸ“ø 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

šŸ’” Pro tip: Photos can make or break your sale price.


🧾 Step 4: Price Realistically—Not Emotionally

You may love that 1997 Venom figure, but if the market says it’s $22 loose, that’s what buyers will pay. Use data, not nostalgia, to price.

šŸ“ˆ Want more? Watch for trends—certain figures spike after movie trailers or show announcements.


šŸ›‘ Avoid These Rookie Mistakes

  • āŒ Pricing based on what you paid for it

  • āŒ Selling without knowing current value

  • āŒ Using blurry photos or missing descriptions

  • āŒ Ignoring shipping cost and packaging needs
