How to Sell Action Figures

Learning how to sell action figures can help you pay for your hobby as a collector or make a few extra bucks. Action figures go through a process similar to books and board games. They are produced in waves, with a limited number made each time. Sometimes after a few months, action figures can be hard to find in stores.

Instructions

- 1
  Check reference books such as "Tomart's Encyclopedia &Price Guide to Action Figure Collectibles" and reference magazines such as "Lee's Toy Review" to determine the value of the figures you are selling.
- 2
  Explore comic book shops. Most shops are eager to buy your collectible action figures. Their customers tend to be collectors themselves and will pay a premium for hard-to-find figures.
- 3
  Attend toy, collector or comic conventions in your area. If your collection is large, consider renting a table to display your collection. For a fairly low cost, you can sell to a targeted audience.
- 4
  Sell your action figures through specialty websites. Sites such as Collector Dash Action Figures allow people to post their merchandise in a database where it will be seen by thousands.
