Used action figures in Minneapolis typically sell for $7 to $110. Action figures are priced by completeness — the accessories, the joints and the packaging decide almost everything, and a missing weapon can halve a figure’s value.
Selling action figures in Minneapolis
Minneapolis has severe winters, a great many lakes and a cycling culture that persists through both. Winter clothing, skis and paddle craft all have deep local markets, and the seasonal swing here is sharper than almost anywhere else.
Winter is a genuine constraint on moving anything large for several months, and prices reflect it. The lakes and river shape the road network, so the route matters more than the distance.
On anything stored in an unheated garage, check seals, glue joints and batteries. Winters here are severe enough that a season of storage does more damage than a year of use.
Minneapolis, in Minnesota, has around 430,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Saint Paul, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Minneapolis
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
- Carded figures still sealed in original packaging
- Complete loose figures with all accessories
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.

- 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.
