Toy Bender

Well so far my sell off of a good portion of my Star Wars figures (and a couple of other toys) has been fairly successful. I realize that you might not care how much money I make on my toys, but I figure this might be interesting to any other collector’s who might be thinking about doing the same. As a recap, my plan (after suggestions from Toy Bender readers) was 1. Post items on here for sale. 2. Sell figures through my cousin for her kids. 3. Build a store on eCrater and see how I could do on there.

So far I haven’t had many offers from Toy Bender directly, but our friend Esbat of Fugitives from Reality has a father who collects and he purchased some items. I’ve also sold my 12″ Alien and I have a feeling that I’m going to regret that someday.

Total From Toy Bender: $45.00

My plan to sell my cousin my cheap figures went way better than planned. Not only did my cousin and my Aunt buy a whole lot of figures for her kids, but other Aunts and cousins got in on the action as well.

Total From Family: $99.00

My eCrater site “Dinosaur Toy Vault” has so far netted me nothing, but I kind of expected that. First people have to find eCrater, then they have to trust that I’m legit, and then they have to want what I have. Those are some pretty big hurdles, but maybe it will eventually lead to a sale.

Total from eCrater: $0.00

It’s nice getting some cash for my things and so far I haven’t really let anything go that I regret (except maybe the Alien), but but the only problem with all of this is that I never realized how many figures I had until I put them all together. I’ve sold over thirty carded figures and the peg board wall that was reorganized with toys that I want to keep has more figures on it than when I first started. By Crom, the horror that is collecting.

The boring details of prices I got are after the break. Now keep in mind that if I sold anything for way cheaper than it was “worth” I don’t care. It’s gone and I’m happy:
