Counsel of the Wise

[MysteryWho]

Hi Guys. I'm not really a newbie, I seem to come and go from here.
I left a couple of years ago because I got drunk and flamed a member.
I was embarassed so I decided to walk away for awhile. Sorry Hector.
The reason I'm back is two-fold. I miss jumping in on some of the more
light-hearted topics, ie toys, movies, etc.
The other reason is that I need some advice.
I am getting rid of many of my toys.
It's nothing too special, but I like to get the value of the item,
whenever possible.
I have been trying to avoid eBay for a variety of reasons,
some of which you are all no doubt aware.
I have sold some things locally, but not really getting much.
Is there a place on-line, perhaps another auction site or
something I've missed.
Perhaps a site that buys toys to re-sell, like a store.
Anyhoo, a head's up would be most appreciated.
P.S. This is not some kind of weird con. I just need some directions.

What was your Museum name before ?

[MysteryWho]

MisterWho.
I was gonna come back anonymously, but that seemed lame.
I wasn't sure I could pick my old name, nor was I sure if I was
going to be a fake self. I'm not very good at that, I'm afraid.

Hey,
Welcome back.
I would suggest that you start by posting pics of your items and prices that you want in the Marketplace. Many of your toys might sell here for a good price first. Anything you have questions about concerning the worth I would either ask here or do a completed search on Ebay for like items.
Whatever does not sell, you might be stuck with Ebay to get the best price.

Welcome Back Sir, I thought it might be you considering it was an odd coincidence someone else from Canada would have such a close name.

As for the stuff, I think some folks here can give you accurate directions on what to ask for it. Most likely some of it would sell here.

With the Tittle of the Thread,.. I felt it was Necessary to chime in .

Welcome Back Sir.

[Meule]

Welcome back.
I would also suggest you post some pics as the state of the figures and the degree of (in)completeness affect the price

[Wee67]

Big of you to apologize and be upfront about who you are. Welcome back and I hope it goes better this time.

As for selling your toys, I think Chris pretty much gave you the best advice.

Welcome Back to The Museum. I'd be interested in Seeing Pictures of Your Toys for Sale as well

Thanks guys.
I'll take some pictures in the next week or so.
I'm not sure how to price some items.
I may need more guidance for that.

Hello again, everyone.
I managed to pick up a cheap digital camera
and I'm gonna start taking pictures of my stuff.
I've got prices in my head for some of it, but other things are troublesome.
I'll give an example of this.
I have a Hasbro Super Joe MOC (well, about as mint as these figures get 'cause
its in pieces in the bubble. bubble has a couple dings, too)
I never see these guys on eBay. The only one I saw recently carded was Luminos,
and the price was really too high.
I know auctions are not allowed here, so I'm not gonna ask who
will pay the most.
But I don't know what a fair price for this is, 40 bucks maybe?
Things are really only worth what people will pay for them.
Anyhoo, please jump in and gimme an estimate to help me
make up my mind.
Thanks and Happy Holidays.
