[@FlockofSmeagles]

For those that think people get ripped off through this process. You have to think. If it were you. Would you want to take the time to process, sort, list, and house all of these items? Just to wait months to sell even one of them. Or would you rather, like these people. Take your collection to someone who is willing to do that and sell the whole lot at a 45-50% discount? The second hand market isn't easy to profit from. It takes time, effort, and resources to get to the level that these guys are at. It's totally fair.

[@RandomPerson-nd2ey]

Also consider it from the store owner's perspective. There's a guy on YT named Tommy Wright who is documenting his experience after buying a Subway franchise location. He worked 13/ 14-hour days every day there. After all of his costs, he made like $10/hr the 1st week. The 2nd week was like a *total* of $21 and some change. Overhead for a store is a beast.

There's an underlying tone of, "LOL Buffy, LOL" is this one, which is a real bummer. The show was a massive hit and is still considered to be Joss Whedon's best work by a lot of people.

[@toyfederation]

We did not have that tone at all. But, you may have saw our concern for knowing that, at least in our area, it's not a popular line and so it was quite a gamble for us to take it in. We even mention our main Buffy buyer. And, until he came in with his collection, we had next to none.

[@MrDream-zm1pw]

People complaining that Toy Federation scammed them are silly. The seller is going to a retail store who will always offer less than a private sale, however, Toy Federation's offers are very reasonable. And besides, would you really want to go home with all that unwanted plastic or some sweet sweet casheesh?

[@carn1fex_]

Some people are just dumb and don't understand how the world works. XD How do they imagine it? How is he supposed to make a profit? Let's say Figure 'X' is 'worth' $200 and the shop gives you the $200 - for how much is he supposed to sell the figure himself?! He can't sell it 'above its value' or for what he paid for it. If you want to get a decent amount for your stuff, you have to sell it 'yourself' on eBay/online. That's what I do when I need to make some space again. It might take a while for the figure to sell. If you 'urgently' need money or space, then your only option is to sell it to a store, but don't expect to get the 'value' of your collection. LOL

[@ninjasec]

Really like how you explain your stock and when and how it sells, there is a comic book warehouse in my area, and even they are upfront about the logistics. So if the book is "worth" $50 but they have 6 in stock and you want to make yours their 7th, they might not take it or the offer is low. Its the hard part about collecting and the lesson I have learned in all my years and various interests, its best to collect because you like the items and its fun.

[@toyfederation]

Yes, exactly.

[@3hirdtimesacharm]

Yep! Sad, but a big part of it is convenience too. You are essentially saying "Hey buy my stuff" and when you bundle things together you won't get near the full value or even most of the value when you do that. You could get more if you took time to piece it out but that takes time and most people don't want to do that. I've been there too. It is what it is! Hopefully someone else gets to enjoy these collectibles. Was never a Buffy fan myself but it's interesting how they make figures for everything and even things back in the day. WILD.

[@carn1fex_]

@@3hirdtimesacharm What do you mean? If you sell 'to a store,' you will ALWAYS get less money - even if you bring just one or a few figures. Even if I walk into the store with just one 'ultra rare' Sideshow/Hot Toy or whatever figure, I will never get what it is 'worth.' He has to sell the figure himself and make a profit. If you 'urgently' need money or space, then 'the store' is your only option. Otherwise, you just need to have a bit of patience, list it on eBay/online, and wait - eventually, the figure will sell.
