Advice for found collection

Post by mjy »

Hi everyone,

New to this so hopefully you can all help.

I Have been helping clear out the loft of my parents house and stumbled across all my old Action Force/ GI Joe figures and vehicles.

Now a week on i have been able to bag up the figures with their relevent weapons etc and wondered what would be the best way to sell them on? I was thinking about ebay or getting a toy show stall but not sure on the best route. Any advice guys? Will be sad to see them go but they deserve a good home :)

Thanks for your help and advice in advance.

Matt

The best thing would be to sell them on ebay. If you have anything Red Shadow related they will disappear like snow off a dyke!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Same story as me, cleared out my dads loft and found some bits. Stuck them on here for feedback and sold most of it to the guys on here, they know what most things are worth and will offer you a fair price, plus you have the satisfaction of knowing that it gone to a genuine lover of AF and not someone who will sell it on for a profit!
