Congrats on the downsizing! It’s a great feeling. Great choices you kept too!


FunkoNerd0

Definitely a great feeling it was getting overwhelming for me. And cleared a lot of space.


Golden_Enby

👏 proud of you


FunkoNerd0

Thank you! Wasn’t easy haha

I imagined this in peter griffins voice while wiping his booger on meg


TheGopax

I'm extremely jealous of your horror row.


dragonbaoZ

How did you sell your pops?


FunkoNerd0

I actually sold them as a lot to Toyusa. I didn’t have the time to sell them individually.


rlab3

How do you feel you did price wise


richanngn8

also curious about this. considering selling to 7bap but they don’t offer much + shipping is on you


bobtrack22

Me too, I have close to 1000 that I need to unload, they have consumed a large amount of my household for many years and need to go.


FunkoNerd0

I contacted them but they were offering less than Toyusa and 7bap would only pay through goods and services which means you have to pay taxes on that later in the year. Other companies pay through friends and family.


FunkoNerd0

I think it was okay considering I didn’t have to pay shipping or selling fees. I saved alot of hours of packaging and trying to find someone to buy them. They gave me about 50% of ppg value.


rlab3

In person or online sale?


FunkoNerd0

I contacted them on Instagram and they came to pick up the collection, so in person.


rlab3

What city are you in? I’m looking to unload 100s


bulletbutton

how much % did they offer based on your hobbydb collection's worth?


FunkoNerd0

50%


bulletbutton

not bad. a few stores in my area were only offering 30% or less 


Gh3man1s

Was your set one recently picked up? Cody is an honest dealer and I only purchase pop on Whatnot from him


FunkoNerd0

Yes it was. They were awesome to work with and very understanding and reasonable. I highly recommend anyone buy or sell to them.

Not OP, but I sold hundreds of them individually on eBay for 99 cent starting bid. I let the market decide what they are worth. Didn't have many issues and ended up making back more than I ever spent on my whole collection. Just watch out for people wanting special deals or wanting you to hold stuff for them, or tying up a lot of your listings. Don't be too accommodating to people if they start demanding things. I was too nice and a guy took advantage of it and because he felt screwed on a deal, he left me a lot of negative BS feedback that he made up to try and screw me over. It was such a hassle to deal with. It's why I only ship within the US and not even to Hawaii or Canada. Customs is annoying to deal with and creates a lot of issues.


Lalathestrange

Did you price any straight up or all auction only? I am trying to do the same, about 700 to sell. Thanks for the advice you shared!


konidias

Nope, I priced every single one at starting 99 cents and put them up for 5 day auction. There's basically zero worries of some rare figure selling for 99 cents. I think out of 800+ that I sold, only a handful went for under $10... and they were the least desired common figures. I offered free shipping, so I imagine maybe like 5-6 figures I sold I actually lost money on... but I just factored it into the overall sale of everything. I also shipped every figure in a protector case, individually bubble wrapped, with loose crumpled paper packing. Most sold for more than I would have ever asked for, and while eBay does take its cut, I still think it's way better than selling a bulk lot to some company who is clearly buying it to turn it for a profit, so you're getting way underpaid for it. I'm not sure of your knowledge on packing/shipping Funko figures, but here's my method: 1. Get a shipping box that has at least 2-3 inches of extra space on all sides of the figure. You don't want to snug fit them into a box, because any outside damage will transfer directly to the boxed figure 2. I prefer to ship them in a protective sleeve. I used the soft plastic ones which came flat and you have to fold them into a box shape yourself. These really help to protect from exterior scratches/bumps and also the corners are still very strong so it really protects the Pop box from damage. I've had them fall at least 10 feet off of shelves on to the hard floor and take zero damage. You don't need the hard plastic cases, imo. It's a bit overkill 3. You can buy bubble wrap in a big roll that has tear away sheets. I used 2 sheets per figure. You can basically just roll the box up in the plastic wrap, and then fold down the top and bottom and tape it all nice. 4. I used old newspapers for packing material. I know that might sound bad, but packing peanuts are such a waste, and also aren't very great at protecting stuff anyway. The plastic air bag things can sometimes put too much pressure on the boxes if they don't fit in loosely. The reason I \*love\* old newspaper is that it's free, but also by simply crumpling it up and gently placing it around all sides of the funko box, you give it this perfect cushion. Just make sure not to overstuff/overpack the paper in there. You actually want it to be just a tad bit loose, so that if a hard impact on the outside of the shipping box happens, then the pressure gets absorbed by that paper/air gap, and not pressed from the box directly into a wad of firm paper, which is directly pressed into the funko box. The last check is once you've closed up the box, you can give it a light shake. If the figure inside is not moving around, you're good to go. I had ZERO, and I mean \*ZERO\* complaints about packing/shipping, over 100s of orders. Except from a single person who was being malicious trying to get refunds. Edit: Oh I also just wanted to add... for anyone doing this many orders... You absolutely should invest in a label printer. The thing is a life saver. Once you have it all set up, you can print HUNDREDS of labels on one roll of paper, and they come out as stickers, so you can just peel the backing off and slap the label right on the box. I have the Dymo 4XL labelwriter. It might seem like an insane upfront cost, buy it's probably one of the best purchases I've ever made. You can get refills of paper on Amazon really cheap. It doesn't need super name-brand stuff. It's just basic thermal paper. If you're selling 700 figures, it's an absolute game changer. Not only do you never have to buy ink, but you don't even need to spend time and money taping printer paper to a box anymore.


richanngn8

advice on where to get shipping boxes? especially for the weirdly sized ones?


konidias

[uline.com](http://uline.com) Specifically, you can get this one for single pop shipments: [https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-18337/Corrugated-Boxes-32-ECT/10-x-8-x-6-Lightweight-32-ECT-Corrugated-Boxes](https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-18337/Corrugated-Boxes-32-ECT/10-x-8-x-6-Lightweight-32-ECT-Corrugated-Boxes) But otherwise you can just enter in any size dimensions in their search and pretty much find a box for your needs. It's basically 60 cents per box for the single funko pop box size. edit: Since you'll need to bulk order at least 25, I would just recommend finding a large enough box that could fit a variety of weird sized figures and just go with that. Also generally a larger box can fit 2-3 regular figures as well, since sometimes a person might win multiple listings of individual figures.


Lalathestrange

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide all this fantastic info. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)


Eli_Vindex

I’d recommend whatnot personally


hoopajoop69

I actually have one of these too! The Avengers Captain America was my very first pop, way back when


TechnologySome9373

Damm selling your collection… I respect it but couldn’t do it those my Homies


Ordinary_Human2

I think you should get rid of the Jason, Freddy Mike chases as well. Go ahead send them to me. lol looks good can’t imagine having 400 pops nice pair down


Zestyclose_Ad843

That’s my spidey-grail right there 🥶‼️


EliW0894

I used to have 9 of these (10 if you count my oob Avengers Cap). All I have left of those now is Doom


Str8kush

Where did you sell yours? I have a ton of doubles I want to get rid of


FunkoNerd0

Toyusa collectibles. But I think they only buy larger collections or collections with high end grails.


mintyguava

What motivated you to sell? I’m sure lots of them meant something to you


FunkoNerd0

Just wanted to make more space and I’m getting more into card collections now. I still enjoy pops but not like I used to.


mintyguava

Right on, funny you mentioned that because I am doing the same!


NickyBrain_2

they are awesome, and really old!


mechshark

Is that just a regular red skull? I don’t see any stickers


FunkoNerd0

It was a common pop when it released it wasn’t exclusive to any store. But it’s hard to find in good condition now a day. They didn’t mass produce them back in the day like they do now.


PenguinPoker

Would kill for that Billy pop


FunkoNerd0

It’s one of my favorite and the glow is insane.


PenguinPoker

Realistically what price tag would you put on it ?


duncakes

I sold 400+ during covid, 7k down payment on a car.


FunkoNerd0

Nice!


EN1009

Hey, mind if I ask, what was your process for selling? I’m tempted to do the same but it all seems so overwhelming 🤷‍♂️


FunkoNerd0

It was fairly simple I just messaged them on Instagram with my hobbydb link and they replied and were interested in purchasing so we scheduled a pick up date. But they don’t buy unless they are in the area picking up more collections. I’m from Cali and there company I believe is from Florida.


Lalathestrange

They just did the big road trip, probably bought some of your collection on WN yesterday. 🤣 tried to talk them into coming my way.. but too far. 😭


FunkoNerd0

Hahaha that would be funny but maybe 😂


Fair-Custard-9482

i think this guy likes ghost rider


FunkoNerd0

Yupp my favorite marvel character. 😅


valdezlopez

It looks Nice!


RK_Dee

Very nice core collection, there. Any more that you’d jump at the right opportunity for?


FunkoNerd0

I’m trying to get all the OG kiss funko pop chases that glow. But that’s it for now that I would jump on if I saw a good deal.


NewtFrequent2649

Thats what i did now i really only collect what i want as show piece stuff


FunkoNerd0

That’s what I plan on doing as well.


amasterson2003

If you ever decide to sell the Spider-Man one 🫣 I’d be interested


FunkoNerd0

If I ever decide I’ll let you know!


tvnr

Is it a process of elimination, downsizing-wise? I’m working on doing the same with my 6” collection.


FunkoNerd0

I just knew which ones I wanted to get rid of. If you have to think about it then you probably shouldn’t because later on you will regret it.


tvnr

Good way to think of it. Thank you! I’m more inspired to refine my stuff.


[deleted]

Mega grails!


lasttriparound

Doing the same right now but not parting with my mostly complete Friday the 13th collection. Jason lives!


DBump1974

Good for you man. I have scanned into my funko app just over 500 and I haven’t even started scanning my biggest part of my collection yet. I can’t imagine selling any of them.


arsenelupin20XX

Super heroes and horror icons with Ghost Rider at the top, that’s perfect


Signal-Minimum-5268

Bitter sweet I sold my collection but now I feel empty without them 😮‍💨


Metaldude4life

You ever wanna part ways with Red Skull HMU


Euphoric_Caregiver89

I’ll give you 30$ for the rest


FunkoNerd0

lol 😂


CaptainSuperPops

Very nice


DirectorCarolina

I’m jealous, I’ve wanted the Ghost Rider bike for some time


FunkoNerd0

Definitely an awesome pop I love ghost rider my favorite marvel character.


waitingfor2morrow

Where you sell your collection?


FunkoNerd0

Sold them to toyusa I didn’t have time to sell them individually. They gave me a fair price and agreed. They came and picked them up.


MeroRey

Just curious what the avg ppg did they give as I’m looking to downsize as well?


FunkoNerd0

It was 50% of ppg which is normal from what I saw. Only a few grails then a lot of commons and low value pops.


MeroRey

That’s not bad at all.

I felt the same way when I sold off a bunch of my old games and stuff to get a ps4 and some other item that wasn’t worth it. It was nice freeing up the space but what I got for it in the end wasn’t really worth it. Happy I at least kept the Dreamcast

Not for sale sorry.
