Used action figures in Los Angeles typically sell for $7 to $110. Figures are collected seriously, and the gap between a carded example and a loose one is enormous.
Selling action figures in Los Angeles
Los Angeles runs on cars and on the entertainment industry, and both show up in what gets listed. Camera and lighting gear circulates here in a way it does almost nowhere else, and the climate means outdoor furniture and sports equipment stay usable year-round rather than spending half their life in a garage.
Distance is the real cost of a collection here, not the price. A seller on the other side of the basin can be ninety minutes each way in traffic, so most people arrange handovers on their own side of town and name a specific parking situation.
For camera and lighting gear, ask whether it came off a production and how heavily it was used. Rental-fleet equipment can be excellent value, but it has worked far harder than the hours suggest.
Los Angeles, in California, has around 3.9 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. San Diego, San Jose and San Francisco are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Los Angeles
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

What action figures are worth
What lifts the price
- Vintage lines with established collector followings
- Unfaded paint and tight joints
What pulls it down
- Missing accessories, which are often valued separately
- Sun-faded plastic and yellowing
Working out what yours is worth
- 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.
- Clean gently with a dry brush. Do not scrub painted detail, and never use solvent on printed faces.
Photograph
- The whole lot laid out together on a plain surface, so the buyer can count them
- All accessories arranged next to the figures they belong to
Put in the description
- The line or franchise, and the character names
- The condition of any packaging, described separately from the figure
Small and light, so posting is easy and widens your audience enormously. Wrap each figure separately and box rather than bag anything with fragile accessories or original packaging.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
