It was actually pretty funny. I received it all in May but then went abroad for 7 weeks. Totally forgot about it until I got back on Friday to see it dominating half of my bedroom lol.

It was a very disorganized weekend trying to sort through most of it.

I think most of the figures have their cardbacks too. I haven't even flipped through all of those yet.

You've got an AD&D Fortress of Fangs in there and that's worth a pretty penny now.

That's a great collection.

Oh! I was wondering about that one. I thought it was a GI Joe set that went with some of the snake themed guys. Or possibly a MOTU set. Never would have guessed D&D! I even have the purple gargoyle dude and the treasure chest!

Good to know, thanks! I'll certainly be using this as a resource as I go through the last bits.

I do have a couple other questions.

1. What is the best way to ship single figures? Do people use padded envelopes or small boxes?

2. I have a lot of figures that have broken bands in the torso that leaves them in three pieces. Torso, waist, and legs. Are these worth anything individually? Even if they are otherwise complete? Is it best to just group all the broke figures together into a lot on ebay maybe?

The rubber bands are o-rings. They rot out over time and snap, but are usually not difficult to replace. The o-ring isn't the collectable part of the figure, and the figure needing that maintenance doesn't significantly change the value of it. You can replace it yourself if you want, or just sell the figure as-is and list it as needing a new o-ring so the buyer understands that they would need to do that work to make the figure whole.

An example of how to list a figure that needs an o-ring replacement: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115076573278

Good to know! I see listings for lots of o rings on ebay/amazon, are those typically where people get them? Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Ring-Cobra-Ac...A2UB5CSXI2EQKV


I think maybe I'll make a BST post here like someone suggested and just start to take offers on things if it grabs anyone's attention. I added the first 70 or so figures to my spreadsheet and would like to start moving some of it.

Good thing about selling them here is you likely won?t need to worry about replacing the o-rings yourself. Just sell them as is.
