Thinking about selling...

[Icarusinflames]

So I a have a lot of collections, just because I can't narrow it down on what to collect and I like a lot of Disney things!

But, I am planning on going to Anime Expo in July. I have my ticket, but there is still the car rental and the lodging costs.. ON TOP OF THAT I want to go on a trip with my friends to Europe next year. It's looking like a $2,000 trip, and luckily I don't BUY pins (meaning from people, I buy pins from Disney) and I ONLY trade.

However, I am thinking that I might want to sell off a collection for a number of reasons...

-It would help me pay for my trips
-I don't pin trade a lot anymore, since the hobby has gotten really sharky
-I have too many collections
-I don't even display my pins, they are in a storage box so I don't get to enjoy them



So I am thinking about selling my Rapunze/Flynn collection first, what would be the best way to do that?

Ebay has fees, selling as a lot diminishes the value.. Can someone help me value these pins? I thought they were worth a lot more but now that i look on ebay they really aren't... breaks my heart a little.

Sorry for crappy photos

Values have dropped on Tangled pins sadly! Best way to sell is on here or maybe try the FB groups?
I might be interested in your PODM depending on price

I know, it's breaking my heart! The collection was so HARD to get, and then when I don't want it, it seems so easy!

I wish I could give you a price. Honestly I want to get as much as I can out of it, no idea what to set it at... I really don't want that seller's remorse.
I wouldn't know what to sell it at to be honest. I really have only ever sold an "for profit" pin once, that's why I posted here and not in the selling, because you have to have set prices and I am having trouble, sorry.

You could list the price you want on the forum, then if you don't get it, go to Ebay. At least you can set your reserve price on Ebay. I have a feeling you'll get more than you think for your Rapunzel PODM...I think that's a real scene. Just my 2 cents.

Always try forum first, without Ebay fees.

I wouldn't try to sell as a lot, as many people seem to do that. Not many people need all of those pins in one order and not many people want to spend that much money at the same time. Ask the price that you feel comfortable with, Tangled pins might have slightly decreased in value but they still hold value for the collectors. Especially the PODM, the heart, UK Maximus and Rapunzel and the Christmas gondola are still higher in price.
