Just a little freaky
Hi folks. I am a retired person. I was career Navy submariner and worked another 20 years for defense contractors in San Diego. Now I'm living in my small Kansas hometown near Wichita.
I'm here because I am hoping someone here can help with information on dealers in the Wichita area.
My brother has a lot of toys, but he is experiencing a life changing illness and I need to convert his collection to cash that he is going to need for medical bills and other things going forward.
He has Transformers.
He has X-Men.
He has Marvel and DC Comics superheroes.
He has Funko-Pops.
He has Dinosaurs.
He even has a Barbie doll because she's "Paleontologist Barbie" (studies dinosaurs).
He has a ton of sports cards--I'm guessing from the number of boxes there must be 100,000 or more sports cards.
He also has a ton of comic books that our other brother is working to sell.
I need to hopefully find a dealer in Wichita to take these toys and action figures--almost all new-in-the-box, give us an appraisal and buy them. Almost all of these boxes are dusty with cobwebs that I have to clean off, and there is some kind of spatter dots on some of the packages that I've been told is from flies. I can't describe how he was living before we got him to the emergency room nearly a month ago now, but he has two cats who had nowhere else to go because their litter box was a solid brick from not being cleaned or changed. The smell was overpowering. I can't imagine what it must have been like for those cats living in that house with the number of flies that it must have taken to leave this much whatever this is on these boxes. There is a pile of dead flies on every window sill.
I'm an eBay reseller, but we don't have the time for me to list all of these and then wait for buyers. It takes a lot of my time as it is, just to clean off the dust and cobwebs and those spatter dots as best I can. I've listed about 30 and sold two so far. That takes a lot of time from me for my own business and my own family's needs, and it's just too much.
I tried calling a place called Hero Haven Comics and Toys, and all I kept getting is some stupid answering system that went nowhere. If any of you know that is a functioning business, please tell them to fix their ridiculous answering system because they have to be losing some business to that.
Can anyone here recommend a dealer in the Wichita area?
Thank you
