WE bought a WEIRD TOY COLLECTION and the Trade got a little Tricky!
COME TO OUR RETRO-TOY CONVENTION!

REP OUR MERCH!
www.teepublic.com/user/toy-fed...
We had someone come in today he usually bought Buffy The Vampire Slayer figures from us when we were at our old location. Now he's looking to offload the majority of his Buffy collection. This is a rare one for us. We don't have anyone who comes in looking for Buffy The Vampire Slayer Figures that often. He was our main buyer. We end up giving him a lot of money for this collection! Hope it moves!
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figure line is renowned for its exceptional attention to detail, accuracy, and faithful portrayal of the show's beloved characters. Each action figure is meticulously sculpted, capturing the unique facial features, hairstyles, and signature costumes of the Buffyverse. From Buffy's trademark leather jacket and cross necklace to Willow's iconic red hair and magical accessories, every element is intricately recreated, ensuring a truly authentic representation.
Beyond their stunning visual accuracy, these action figures boast impressive articulation and poseability. With multiple points of articulation, fans can dynamically pose their favorite characters in a range of action-packed stances, bringing the thrilling fight scenes and supernatural battles to life. Whether it's Buffy delivering a powerful kick, Giles brandishing his trusty crossbow, or Spike showing off his rebellious charm, these figures offer endless opportunities for imaginative play and display.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figure line goes beyond the main characters, introducing a vast array of supporting characters, allies, and adversaries. From the loyal Scooby Gang, including Xander, Willow, and Giles, to the complex and charismatic vampires like Angel, Spike, and Drusilla, this expansive collection allows fans to recreate their favorite moments and assemble their own Buffyverse adventures. Additionally, figures of fan-favorite demons, witches, and other supernatural beings add depth and variety to the line, immersing collectors in the rich mythology of the show.
The action figure line also features a selection of exclusive variants and limited editions, enticing collectors with rare and sought-after pieces. These unique releases often showcase characters in different outfits, alternate poses, or special accessories, providing a chance to own truly one-of-a-kind collectibles. Whether it's a limited edition Buffy in her prom dress, an exclusive variant of Faith with her signature weapon, or an angelic Angel with removable wings, these special editions add an element of exclusivity and excitement to the line.
The packaging of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figures is designed to appeal to both collectors and fans of the show. Each figure is beautifully presented in collector-friendly packaging, featuring character artwork, show-inspired designs, and detailed information about the character and their role in the Buffyverse. The packaging not only protects the figures but also adds value to the overall collectibility, making these action figures a must-have for both dedicated collectors and casual fans alike.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figure line stands as a testament to the enduring popularity and impact of the beloved TV series. With their meticulous craftsmanship, stunning visual accuracy, and remarkable pose-ability, these action figures allow fans to immerse themselves in the supernatural world of Buffy Summers and her entourage. Whether you're a devoted collector, a lifelong fan, or simply looking to relive the adventures of Sunnydale, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer action figure line offers an exceptional opportunity to bring the characters and magic of the show into your own hands.

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.

That Cordelia with the sword unopened only sells for about $100 max on eBay and about 12 of them have sold this year alone. Opened, with no sword, maybe $60. Just because it's "rare" doesn't mean it's valuable.

[@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.

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.

[@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.
