Getting Priced out, how about you?

[MGS_OldBoy57]

Just out of curiosity, what method do you guys recommend selling your collection? I mainly use eBay myself.

The hobby isn't really offering me anything I want; my last HT figure (Mantis) finally arrived after a two-year wait. I may buy Wolverine & Deadpool, but think they'll be oversold to retail who will be forced to dump them cheap.

Meanwhile tons of third party companies offering loads of stuff I've pre-ordered but they are so behind delivering, I'm not spending anything.

So, not sure if I'm being priced out or bored out - I don't need another batman / Joker / Iron Man / Predator / Alien / Etc. 1/6 offerings from major manufacturors are as boring as the action figure aisles in Walmart & Target - besides Manga figs, it's the same IP going back 25 years now.

YAWN

I used to have quite few 1:4, 1:10 and 1:12 figures but sold most off to go primarily 1:6 (plus lately some more 1:18).

I am happy sticking solely to 1:6 for detail/articulation/customisability and 1:18 for variety and vehicles. I will likely never sell off those two categories of collectible.

I also will likely never go into statues. Most don't actually look as good as a 1:6 figure, are fragile and take up way too much space, not to mention the high cost. Just not worth it IMHO.

I really need to see a JND piece in hand,
it’s just a lot of money and time to put down on a statue that may or may not look how you’re expecting in hand. Photos can throw sculpts off, it’s easier and quicker to figure out if a 1:6 piece is any good or not, due to more people purchasing it, therefore more photos to surface, in a multitude of environments. Better ability to gage what your eyes are seeing through a screen.

That JND Returns Catwoman is limited to 300 & 600 units worldwide with the likelihood that the majority of its buyers are in Asia and don’t all communicate via a forum like this or IG. Without JND’s unboxing videos, collectors tend to be a bit in the dark, that’s worrisome at $3-4k per statue traveling across the world as heavy as they are.
