A bunch of different comic cards from the various Marvel and DC cards that were released - almost complete sets. Some Star Trek Cards. And a bunch of different toys that I don't ever remember buying. Some small Transformers, Avengers toys from the Avengers cartoon, Star Trek, Spawn, Marvels Most Wanted and a bunch of other stuff. So, do I ebay this stuff off - something I have never done- or do I go to someone more local around here? Craigslist or something? Any advice would be helpful.

I know that most comic shops, for example, will only pay a percentage of list price for stuff, sometimes only half what it's worth. I've never Ebay'd myself, but I know people who have had good luck with it. I think it might depend too on how quickly you want to liquidate. If you want to move the stuff because you need the space, then local might end up being faster than EBay. Some people are like slinkys: not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when you knock them down a flight of stairs

That way we could meet here and I could get cash. And KP, the Transformers I have are the some kind of minicons are something. Frankly I am not even sure when or why I bought them. I can take a picture if you want to see.

Some of the other stuff like the Avengers toys I might be interested in. ActorLad Friendly Neighborhood Performer Visit my official hangout ActorLad's Cool Luau over at the Mission Monitor Board!

Going to boards like Figures.com would allow you to reach figure collectors directly, not pay any listing fees, and chose the buyer you want. Since I'm a mod over there I could vouch for you as well. If you can send me a list of the figures you have I can help you sort out descriptions, exclusives or repaints etc. I might shop as well I take pride in my mental instability. Go! Figure

With iOffer, you can list things on an ongoing basis, without the auction due-dates... which ot me makes more sense for less than "hot" items; I'd rather have lnog-term exposure for a lot of my crap. The childhood friend Exnihil never had.
