Used action figures in San Antonio 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 San Antonio
San Antonio has one of the largest military populations of any American city alongside a strong tourism economy, and the military side is what drives the second-hand market. Household goods here turn over on posting cycles rather than on fashion.
The city is spread out and everything is collected by car, with easy parking almost everywhere. Distances are long but traffic is manageable compared with the other big Texas cities, so cross-town collection is realistic.
On household goods from a military move, ask when the family is leaving. A seller with a fixed departure date will usually take a sensible offer close to it, and both sides do better for the question being asked.
San Antonio, in Texas, has around 1.5 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Houston, Dallas and Austin are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in San Antonio
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

Photograph
- All accessories arranged next to the figures they belong to
- Any packaging, card back or box, including its corners and creases
Put in the description
- The condition of any packaging, described separately from the figure
- Joint condition — tight, loose or broken — and any paint wear
