#starwars #toys #collect A guy I know has asked what the best way to get rid of his childhood Star Wars toys - a decent sized collection of those original series figures, vehicles, and sets. Maybe 80 - 100 of them in various states of played with. Anyone have suggestions that might make him some cash or otherwise increase the joy in the world rather than simply binning them?

    @nikink@aus.social @kaffando@mastodon.social most fun - find a teenager or college student who is a fan/collector themselves and partner with them to photograph and sell the items - part of that being to figure out the best markets to use (online and in person). That’s likely the best way if he doesn’t want to sell them himself. If he has a child in his life (his own or a niece or nephew or a friend’s kid(s) who are Star Wars fans it could also be a magnificent gift. Worth checking the values first so all are aware

    @nikink@aus.social I would second gifting it to someone young who'd be thrilled to have them. Some thoughts in terms of making him some cash: •Facebook Marketplace can sometimes work out, fairly easy to set up a listing, but I've had several bad experiences dealing with people on there, I find it attracts a bad crowd. •Selling on eBay can be good for getting the best price, and generally attracts a less pushy/rude crowd of buyers, but it can also be a hassle to set up and to mail them off. •A pawn shop that sells toys/collectibles would be minimal hassle and quick, but would probably be on the low end in terms of the price he'd get.
