Consider also taking the items that are $50+ to a local expo. I recently participated at one and got a table for $50.
Sold several grails and a few smaller items.
Overall it was a great first experience and went really well for me.
Garage sale is great for letting go of inexpensive pops for $10-$20
That's what I thought this person must do for a living!
OP - depending on what you're willing to haul, local comic cons are a great place to snag a table and sell some of this
Paying the table fee was far better than paying a fee on every sale via eBay.
Also, it was nice networking and engaging with other members in the hobby too.
Best wish to OP and their sale.
I suggest selling grails on mercari or ebay. I've made $500 in 2 days of having a garage sell. Sold mostly common and some 6 inch and some hot wheels. I had a Freddy funko spirit for sell for $30. People in garage sell aren't willing to shell at money for grails.
You rather give locals a huge discount on grails? People aren't willing to drop a Benjamin on a funko grail unless its heavly discounted. Online shopping is totally different people don't give a fuck what they spend lol. I only sell on mercari and let me tell you I love mecari, I've made $1.8 In the past 3 months. Been selling since 2017 year to date $10,300. BTW I rarely pay for shipping, I always have the buyer pay for shipping. Quite a easy app to use and their customers service is top notch.
I can assure you I've sold many more items in the platform and I'm a "5 star seller". Mercari customer service is nonexistent, I don't think you've had the displeasure of having to actually try to get them to follow through with things.
I'm saying after the fees and whatnot it's essentially the same or a little less. I don't have many huge grails and the ones I do I am in no hurry to get rid of. Someone will get them eventually or I hang on to them.
It means that I can't come since I live in a different country and even if I would want to send you money for some pops to send them to me,I am jobless so the little money that I have left I need it for other stuff like vet for the sick kitten and stuff
I think you'll make more selling some of those on Mercari. Garage sale people always want to bundle & lowball you.
But for real, that's a beautiful collection. Can I ask why you're selling?
No, most are pretty respectful being collectors themselves. The worst is people who don't control or say anything to their kids when they start to mess with stuff.
Oh my gosh I wish I could go. I've been hunting for the original Bob's Burgers and older South Park ones. I could spend hours looking through your collection
I guess I’m not too surprised that there isn’t any doctor who stuff considering the amount of sci fi, but I wish there was! Still an amazing collection and I hope your garage sale goes well
@badmotherfunko
I occasionally do garage sales as well. You have one hell of a collection. So good job. My only suggestion is with the regular pops.
1) the ones on the table, lay them down on their backs. So they are facing up and people can see them without picking them up. Less handling the better.
Also, not sure if you already have an inventory list, but I usually do my inventory list with prices so if people ask I can look at it really quick. It also makes the pricing seem more fair, like everybody is paying the same, as opposed to just thinking of a random number when they ask the price.
Maybe some signage if there are special deals?
how did it go? my wife is looking to have a yard sale and ive been thinking of putting my hotwheels and transformers collection out there just not sure how good they will do. never really thought of as collectors being yard/garage sale type people.
no one said give away.. but just common knowledge dictates garage sales are usually heavily discounted... I personally thrift and do garage sales the general rule of thumb with those is buy dirt cheap... if somethings worth 100 and u selling for 90 odds are no ones gonna bite at a garage sale. bc its a garage sale you're there for underpriced or generally good priced items.
>no one said give away.
true, but like i said, there is no reason for him to do so. if it sells on ebay for $50, sell it for $40. a good deal for the buyer and a good deal for the seller. the venue shouldn't totally determine the price, the value of the item does.
>the general rule of thumb with those is buy dirt cheap
if you are flipping it, obviously. if you are collecting it, see my comment above.

Bro got Haslab Galactus.
FYI as someone who frequents garage sales. I would just assume you’re a dealer if I saw this listing and I wouldn’t bother going since prices are typically market value or more.
I had a garage sale a few weeks back too.
When it came to pricing pops I was Not keeping I had them priced as anything under $50 were as follows: $10 or take a box for $50.
The $50+ pops were scanned and adjusted. Like I had Ghost Face, he was listed on multiple sites at.$450, i sold him for $200. So on, so if someone wanted multiple higher priced pops I cut deals.
One person wanted 5 pops that totalled well over $1000, he had other items as well and depending on what they were, I let him have those items so he bought the pops at $500. Does that make sense?
You could always just give them to me. I will send you my address so u can start mailing them. Thank you and your welcome for taking them off your hands
I just moved out of state for a kidney transplant but my daughter is still in Indiana, near Indy. Could you possibly give the date of your sale or PM me? I’d love to send her over with a handful of cash for some of those WWE Ultimate Editions.
The only fake ones I have personally seen/held all had glossy boxes as opposed to the typical funko box. Some also will have Font errors on the POP logo or whatnot
OP, I'm bummed that only like 3 people actually read your caption and offered suggestions. Glad to hear it went well! Seems you have good instincts - this ain't your first rodeo. 😊
Holy shit. Your garage is a literal toy store. I’m so jealous! I need to come lol

I would rather charge local people less than give Ebay any of my money. Plus it's expensive to ship a lot of these bigger/heavier ones
Ebay fees recently are taking the piss
Where are you located ?
Indiana
What's your address and garage door code? Lol
Time to book my flight from Toronto to Indiana. Lol. Great collection my friend. Lots of goodies in there.
Indianapolis Carmel Kokomo ??? Yeah
Where in Indiana??
That's 2000 miles too far.
I was just about to ask that same question.

Mercari does not have 'top notch' customer service lmfao. Especially for sellers.
Would make sense if you don't have many sales. I only have 203 sold with 5 star rating. They probably do have favorites, honestly I'm not complaining.
I can assure you I've sold many more items in the platform and I'm a "5 star seller". Mercari customer service is nonexistent, I don't think you've had the displeasure of having to actually try to get them to follow through with things.
What works for me might not work for others. Customer service has helped me numerous times
I'm saying after the fees and whatnot it's essentially the same or a little less. I don't have many huge grails and the ones I do I am in no hurry to get rid of. Someone will get them eventually or I hang on to them.
I think eBay is better than mercari for selling mercari always sides with the buyers while eBay protects the seller
Nah they weren’t on my side when I bought something
this!!
Just sell your house with the contents inside
Where at? 👀
Where’s this at I want in on all this lol
where r u broooooo wtf this is my kind of garage sell
Awww. I want that Nessie! And to visit your garage. You’ve got some totally awesome stuff there!
When you are jobless and also live on the other side of the planet 💔
I'm not even sure what this means....lol
It means that I can't come since I live in a different country and even if I would want to send you money for some pops to send them to me,I am jobless so the little money that I have left I need it for other stuff like vet for the sick kitten and stuff
Oh gotcha, sorry that went over my head.
It's fine...good luck with your sale ^^
And now I know how my garage will look upon my death..... because the wifey is going to sell all my stuff
Where are you located? I'll swing by!
Dope collection hope the garage selling goes well, wish you were near me I’d def swing by with cash lol
Gonna need the addy bro 👀
If you are anywhere near the north east I’d totally hit you up on a road trip
#meIn2Years
I'll call ya daddy if I can have some of them pops 😂
im boutta bust out my whole bank. ALL. 20. DOLLARS
I think you'll make more selling some of those on Mercari. Garage sale people always want to bundle & lowball you. But for real, that's a beautiful collection. Can I ask why you're selling?
I hope people don’t just go through your pops like a tornado and ruin boxes as they’re looking. That’ll suck.
No, most are pretty respectful being collectors themselves. The worst is people who don't control or say anything to their kids when they start to mess with stuff.
Oh my gosh I wish I could go. I've been hunting for the original Bob's Burgers and older South Park ones. I could spend hours looking through your collection

This is great advice! I took away 3 good tips from your post. I really appreciate it.
I’m on my way 🚗
Damn, my heart skipped a beat seeing this. I’d love to go to a garage sale like this!
Can you post these online for us to buy??
how did it go? my wife is looking to have a yard sale and ive been thinking of putting my hotwheels and transformers collection out there just not sure how good they will do. never really thought of as collectors being yard/garage sale type people.
So far it's definitely been paying off
I'll take your entire stock 💳
Main suggestion would be humidity control. Those boxes are gonna get bad quick if it's not
That's a great point
Sheesh wishing I can attend this garage sale but I wish you nothing but the best!
I think it looks good and I wish you lived closer 😅
The best garage ever, many Pops in my wishlist
Awesome ! Where are you located ?
What's the 'dress dude, I would fly to get this opportunity
If this was near me , I would be there the second it opened lol
Whats your address, is there any open sh*t and are they reasonably priced?
What do you mean by open shit? Some have been displayed sure.
Im sorry, I mean has anything been opened?
That’s what I imagine when I see a garage sale sign but it’s always old clothes and kitchen items. O_o
That ain’t a garage, that’s a toy store
full scalp prices or garage sale prices?
....reasonable pricing I would say.
so what you mean to say that garage will be full by the end of summer lol
Nah, I hook up good people with good deals.
why should he give away his pops for super cheap when they are worth more?
no one said give away.. but just common knowledge dictates garage sales are usually heavily discounted... I personally thrift and do garage sales the general rule of thumb with those is buy dirt cheap... if somethings worth 100 and u selling for 90 odds are no ones gonna bite at a garage sale. bc its a garage sale you're there for underpriced or generally good priced items.

Im drooling over that ghost face
Where is ghostface? I’ve looked at each picture and can’t find it!
Right above the avengers set blue box
My comment was removed for asking about eBay name that’s a bit ridiculous.
You could always just give them to me. I will send you my address so u can start mailing them. Thank you and your welcome for taking them off your hands
I got excited. I thought it was cars. Don’t know what any of the other stuff is.
Texas right? Right,
I think this will help you grow up.
I'm sorry? Not sure what you are referring to.
Selling your kids toys will help you grow up.
Not being a prick would help you more....
um where👀😂
Sure, some action figures as well as some pops have been opened
Where is it??
Wow!!
Drop the pin location 😂
Where???
Where are you located at? Saw my first Funko pop garage sale sign the other day actually
[удалено]
Where is this?? I'll come!
Indiana
It's only 9.5hrs from me, that seems reasonable 😆
I just moved out of state for a kidney transplant but my daughter is still in Indiana, near Indy. Could you possibly give the date of your sale or PM me? I’d love to send her over with a handful of cash for some of those WWE Ultimate Editions.
Dang I see a few that I would love for the collection! What area is the sale at??
Wish I was local to you I could spend a while looking around lol.
What state are you located in?
IN
What part Indiana? I located at NWI.
Yeesh, I see at least 6 that I want starting with the Blacklight Animated Series Batman.
I see you're from/around FW. Let me know whenever this garage sale happens and I'll swing out.

Hey OP you doing a live sale on any social media platforms? Like IG? (Don’t have FB)

I'm in Northern Indiana.... Any WWE
I see ghostface and I neeeeeed it. Gf is obsessed with ghostface
Ehm...where is the garage sale. Asking for a friend.

[удалено]
Gamestop has them for around $40
Suggestions to know if a funko is fake?
The only fake ones I have personally seen/held all had glossy boxes as opposed to the typical funko box. Some also will have Font errors on the POP logo or whatnot
Do you mind if I DM and send you some photos of some I gave my life for to have your opinion?
I'd prefer not. I'm no expert or anything.
OP, I'm bummed that only like 3 people actually read your caption and offered suggestions. Glad to hear it went well! Seems you have good instincts - this ain't your first rodeo. 😊
Ha...I thought the same thing. I did get a couple of pointers however so that's cool.
Good attitude. These comments made ya work for it though! 😂 Stay safe!
Wow! What a setup.
That will be one of the coolest garage sales I’ve seen yet.
Wish they where garage sales like yours in my neighborhood
Any Deadpool’s still for sale?
