Lego minifigures

[ElasticFirecracker]

I have tons of Lego to sell and am overwhelmed by the prospect. I'm just starting by selling some minifgures.

I have 11 minifigures all from one series, it's not the whole series and there are duplicates of two of the figs. They have never been played with just assembled and ignored. They have all accessories/weapons etc.

Should I sell them as one job lot, split them into two lots or sell individually?

Can someone help me decide.

Thank you

Perhaps in small batches?
E.g. if it's star wars, CP30 with R2D2, and maybe also Luke?
Or if it's HP maybe Dobby with Hermione, etc?

It is worth checking what rights Lego have for the series. For example, for Star Wars Hasbro have the mini figure rights and Lego can only sell them as part of a kit to build something which makes it impossible to buy the figures on their own new. This bumps up their individual value considerably.

I know this because we had to buy kits to get figures for DS last Christmas. Google will tell you for each series.

Check eBay prices and sell individually. For example the bunny that was released in the mystery bags was
Going for $40

I assume you're talking about Collectible Minifigures:

It depends on which series it is.

For pieces of building LEGO, are you going to sort it out into sets to try to complete them? If so, then there might be more value in selling a minifigure which came with a set with that actual set.

Check the sold prices as some are much rarer than others; then you can separate the more valuable ones and sell others as a job lot.

I collect Lego minufigures. I consider myself an expert on what they sell for on eBay as I watch them all the time. Better to sell as a job lot. The lower the series number the more they are worth. List with Lego minifigures series number job lot or bundle in the heading as this is what collectors search for. Start low price. If you start too high no-one is interested.

Sorry for delay in replying, thanks for all this help, it's very useful. These are the mini figures that came in small bags they came in series. It was a sort of lucky dip and you didn't know which one you were buying.

I don't think any of them are related to any other TV/Film franchise.

I'm now thinking of either

1. Selling them in 2 lots one of 5 and one of six, splitting the duplicates between each lot.

Or

1. Just selling the whole 11 as one lot.

Would there be enough interest to make a 99p start price worthwhile?

Thanks again for your help.

Again, it depends which series it is.

To get a decent price, make sure you list accurately what you're selling. If you're selling a Collectible Minifigure, find out which series it's from and find out its usual name then include this information in the listing.

Are all of the minifigures these Collectible Minifigures (ie individually in a small bag) or do any of them come from building sets?

If you start at 99p, it might sell. It depends on the minifigure. If you list at 99p and it sells for that (it might not even sell), then don't offer free postage. You'll pay 70p for postage, and about 33p in fees. It will actually cost you money to sell it.

Don't start at 99p. Do them all as a bundle. Assuming they're pretty ordinary. Start about £10 quid with "free" postage. Good pictures will matter a lot, as close up as possible. Maybe 2 in each pic + one big group for main pic.

This is bad time of yr to sell; post Christmas slump means low sale prices. Things will pick up again from mid February onwards (slump again in August).
