Used action figures in Seattle 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 Seattle
Seattle pairs a large technology workforce with a serious outdoor culture and a genuinely wet climate. Waterproof clothing, hiking and paddling gear and computer equipment all have deep local markets, and rain protection is not a nicety here.
The city is hilly and the water divides it, so the bridge or the route matters more than the distance. Parking in the denser neighbourhoods is difficult, and a lot of handovers happen at park-and-ride lots for that reason.
Ask whether the item was stored anywhere damp. The climate is unforgiving on anything with fabric, foam or particle board, and mildew is very difficult to reverse once it has taken hold.
Seattle, in Washington, has around 750,000 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. Spokane, Tacoma and Vancouver are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Seattle
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.

Getting it ready
- Lay out every figure with its accessories and work out which pieces are missing. Say so; collectors always find out.

Photograph

- 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.
