Selling a couple of 25th Ann figures on Ebay.

I bought these on impulse before I'd fully researched the 25th Anniversary line. What I want is the original Scarlett outfit and Snake Eyes with Timber.
Anyway I'm putting them up for less than I paid for them which was £7.95 +4.43 postage each (curse you Amazon Marketplace and the not combining postage!)

Now that I've fully researched the 25th Anniversaty line I'm looking at doing a bit of trading and importing. Mainly because this is the only reason the missus would accept for me buying box loads of Action Figures. I'm not entirely sure there is a market in the UK but if no-one buys I'll just have to keep them won't I? Shame

Mostly carded, yup.
There's a few that I'm going to open up for me and my boy to play with. ( for my boy's benefit of course

)
But on the whole I'll be buying then selling carded singles.
I get the warm fuzzy feeling of buying my childhood toys and then hopefully make a few quid selling them.
To be honest I'm not that bothered about making any money. But if I didn't sell this new hobby to the 'trouble and strife' as a self sufficient business she'd stomp all over it and make me paint the guest room or something.
With this idea I get to surf the net looking at and buying figures for legitamate business purposes. Genius.

i think bigbadtoystore sell these by the case which may work out cheaper if you do plan to sell on.
also hoping the rise of cobra figs will get a uk release which may make them easier to get.
check ebay.com as well as loose stuff seems to sell pretty cheap but with the exchange rate and postage can push the price up.

I had a look at BigBadToyStore.com but their shipping was extortionate. Anyone looking to resell would have to charge silly money just to break even. I'm going to invest a bit of cash and go WHOLESALE BABY!
As for ebay that guy at Android toys or something similar seem to be quite reasonable but all of his stuff is loose.

One can never have enough "stock"
