[For Sale] Collection

bigbry60 · 06-30-2014, 11:35 PM

Hello, Technodrome. I haven't posted in a few years, but I built my collection through this forum. I've had to move several times for work recently across the country, and just simply can't keep my collection any longer. I'm going to be selling it starting at the end of July. I've got a near complete MOC set from the original run, including all '88 10 Backs, and various MOC fares like Hot Spot, Shogun Shoate & Triceraton, Warrior Wingeds, Movie Star Turtles, and a Graded Scratch. I also have a fair amount of loose figures as well, including Hot Spot. I wanted to check with this forum first to see what everyone thinks is the best method to sell off the whole collection? EBay prices have been high recently, but I'd still prefer these to go to a collectors home. Should I piece it out, or sell as a lot?

Also, if you're interested in any of these drop me a note. I have to drive home and pick up the collection and am doing that on July 18. These will be shipping from OKC, and if anyone is local (Dallas, etc) I'd do a pickup as well.

I've loved reading this forum and I appreciate everyone's help.

Unless you get lucky and happen to find someone with deep pockets that wants to buy a TMNT collection, I think it would be very hard to sell it in one lot. Most likely you'll run into a dealer that will try to low ball you to flip the stuff for profit. You would probably make more money by selling it piece by piece. Just my opinion.

It will be a lot of work, but selling it off piece by piece will get you much more money. Take detailed pictures of everything you have, make an inventory spreadsheet, and check eBay sold listings to get an idea of value. I would then say you should try selling on forums like this first to avoid eBay fees, and then list the left overs on eBay. It will take more time, but if you're looking for max value, that's the way you'll get it.

You can also save some money by buying a usps scale and doing the shipping from home. U can even order free boxes from usps and they will drop ship them to u free. It takes time but the piece by piece def pays off in the end.

I'd love to know how much you'd want for Shogun Triceraton. Feel free to PM me with a price if you have one in mind.
