If you had to sell this.....(my collection)

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/sho...hp?i=25953&c=10

and there are more photos in the collections section.....

How much would you ask for the entire collection?

Please tell me this is all hypothetical and you aren't really considering this Frank.

I am going to be honest with you and tell you "Not as much as you paid for it", I know it's bad news but G.I. Joe is really a buyer's market. The two routes I'd suggest choosing from is either Sell it all as one huge lot (People go nutso for those) or sell the good stuff (complete vintage, vintage army builders, rare 25th) to dealers and then just do lots of the other stuff.

I hope that helps

Dude, your collection is huge. I think unless the person is willing to come to you with at least the largest U-Haul, you might have a hard time selling it off as a lot.

I'm hoping your not thinking of getting out of the game, but if you are, I'd sell it piece by piece for a limited time, say a month or so, for reasonable prices, then sell off the rest as a lot. Hit up sites like this first, then go the eBay or Craig's List route.

Throw in the shelving for free.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.

well from that pic . at least over the 3k mark. thats a looooot of stuff . plus you'd have to take into consideration how to ship it to.

are you thinking of selling up or just curious ?

bingo on selling from here first, and bingo on the shelving I think if you price point everything generically by size, for example, figures all$3, small vehicles $9, and larger vehicles$15. People like price points and it makes offers easier. After price pointing, you can offer "twofers", "threefers"...etc. i would see if there are any local toy shows, flea markets and inquire about a space there. if you go that venue, make sure you advertise on craig's list that you'll be there. going back to your original question on pricing, Frank, break the collection down by size of vehicle, then figures, complete/incomplete and then really figure out prices that will sell it fast and fair. My Dad used to have a saying, "Ya want fast nickels or slow dimes?" I prefer fast nickels in my store
i hope this helps

say your not really planning on selling that amazing collection man

Certainly several thousand.

Of the entire collection, the only two I would be interested are the Night Raven (version 1) and Hydrofoil.

Can those shelving go any higher? Can you like... take some selves from another and add them to the top of another? My collection is getting to look something like this and none of my shelves go all the way to the ceiling. Need to maximize storage.
