I'm not sure if there is a thread on this but...

Does anyone know how to resell anime figures? I have a few I need to part with and I am trying to find the best avenue for reselling. I've looked into Ebay and Amazon but I really don't have a lot of time to manage an active listing (and I don't want to pay the storage fees for Amazon either). I saw that animecornerstore offers a store credit option but the store credit is awfully low (at most $20 per). Does anyone else know of something I overlooked? Any advice is appreciated. The figures are all Good Smile nendoroids. Thanks.

Well, first thing to do is ask yourself, "How much are they worth?" "Are they oop or rare?" "How much did you spend on them when you got them?"

And ebay would be the best place to sell, they don't charge anything if your listing doesn't sell.

Myfigurecollection Website have an ads page. You can sell them on here. Chances are though unless its really oop you will struggle to make back what you purchased it for as most figures are listed below retail price. : )

You can also pay $5 here at ANN to become a subscriber and list them in the Retail section of Community. Granted, your audience is small, but your risk is less.

PS: that's a hint. I collect figures. Wink Feel free to PM me with a list and prices. If you can, link the Nendo picture to myfigurecollection.net. You'll need pictures anyway.

Figure.fm, as stated, is also good, and I've not had any issues with the transactions I've had there. However, I do agree the risk is a bit higher. Not from the site, but of Paypal, which is notorious for favoring a buyer than a seller. Someone can easily report the transaction and you'll lose your money (as well as have your account frozen).

There's also Craigslist.com if you wish to keep it local. I sold some figures two years ago and went this route because there's no fee.

Selling figures takes time, so don't be too surprised if they take a while to sell. There's really not a big market for them.
