In the past couple of weeks, I’ve posted a few of these types of posts so I apologize if it’s getting a bit old. I just think it’s interesting when these collections walk through our door.

Well this weekend, a gentleman came in with the following Funko Pop Collection. It was a 65 piece Pop Collection...66 pieces of you count the Non Pop Venom 2pk. Same story as usual...the guy is just looking to get rid of some doubles that he no longer wants.

Now for starters, this is not an impressive collection by any means. There are some decent smaller tier exclusives and such, but a large majority are recent commons. We have over 2500 different Pops on the sales floor and a back room with over 15,000 doubles and triples. The last thing we need is more filler...but I’m always willing to hear the guy out.

So he goes on telling me he just wants to move them and he does not care what he gets. Being as I already had a large percentage of these already, I wasn’t thinking much. So I asked what he had in mind...he thought for a few minutes and told me $60 bucks. I felt awful giving him that little. I was honestly thinking around $2 bucks a piece for around $125 but he threw out $60!!! So I told him I’d give him $75 bucks. I felt kinda shitty but at the same time, it’s like 75% stuff I already have multiple times over so it is what it is.

Before handing him his moolah, I did advise him that he would make more on a Facebook group or eBay and he told me he just didn’t want to do the work. I respect that even if I think it’s lazy and shortsighted, and handed him his money. He left a happy camper and said he had more that he was keeping for now and that he’d be back with them if he changed his mind.

Selling collectibles online can be a nightmare but he shortchanged himself several hundred bucks easily by not piecing them out himself. To each his own I guess.

So this lot breaks down to paying around $1.13 a piece for them as it cost me $75 bucks. Funny part is as I was taking pics for this shortly after the deal was done, we ended up selling 3 pieces for $30, $21, and $22 for a total of $73 bucks. So as of this moment, we are $2 bucks away from being even on this and there are still 63 pieces left. This is another one we won’t get rich from, but will easily turn $75 into $800-$1000 over time. I like these buys as they are low risk, high reward and it keeps some new stuff trickling into the shop consistently.

So how about you? Have you ever unloaded a collection for pennies on the dollar? Have you ever touched it out and took the time to piece it out to maximize profits??? Let me know below!!

Anyway, I like sharing these stories with you guys here. Hope you enjoy hearing about them.
