Used action figures in Adelaide typically sell for A$10 to A$155 (about $7 to $110). Figures are collected seriously, and the gap between a carded example and a loose one is enormous.
Selling action figures in Adelaide
Adelaide is compact, affordable and easy to drive around, which makes it unusually good for buying anything large second hand. It is surrounded by wine country and has a strong festival culture, and its slower housing turnover means the furniture that does come up tends to be older and better made.
The grid layout and light traffic mean collection is genuinely simple here, and most of the metropolitan area is within half an hour of the centre. Parking is easy by the standards of the bigger capitals, so furniture pickups are uncomplicated.
On older furniture, check the joints and any veneer rather than the surface. A good deal of what appears here is genuinely old and well made, and those are the two places age actually shows.
Adelaide, in South Australia, has around 1.4 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Mount Gambier, Whyalla and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

- Identify the exact line, character and year
- Check every accessory against the original release
Getting it ready
- Lay out every figure with its accessories and work out which pieces are missing. Say so; collectors always find out.
- Check the joints. Loose or floppy limbs are a genuine defect on articulated figures and buyers ask specifically.
Photograph
- The whole lot laid out together on a plain surface, so the buyer can count them
- Any packaging, card back or box, including its corners and creases
Put in the description
- The line or franchise, and the character names
- Joint condition — tight, loose or broken — and any paint wear
Steady all year with a clear lift before Christmas. Sought-after lines sell within days when priced against recent completed sales; generic bundles take longer and do better as job lots.
