New with Tags is the highest of the five condition grades on WishThrift. At this grade toys and games are listed across the full range for the category, $3 to $539 (about £2 to £400), because nothing has been discounted for wear. Sealed, or boxed with every bag unopened. A set built once and carefully taken apart is Like New, because the seals are gone for good.
Where the line falls
Toys are lost before they are broken: the box goes first, then the small pieces, and what survives is a set that is complete or is not.
For comparison, one step down is Like New Toys and Games.

Listing at the New with Tags grade
Photograph the box seals and the unopened inner bags. On boxed toys the seal is the entire difference in price and nothing else substitutes.
Shots that carry the most weight in toys and games:
- Action Figures — The whole lot laid out together on a plain surface, so the buyer can count them
- Board Games — The box lid straight on, filling the frame
- Dolls — The doll full length, standing or held upright against a plain background
- Dolls House — The house from the front, closed, whole and upright
On a typical $271 listing, a marketplace charging 20% takes $54, one charging 13.6% takes $37 and one charging 10% takes $27. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $271. Listing is free.
