If you want people to.buy them, do retail price. Reg:9.99 Swap:14.99.

You should put a starting bid of $6 each for them, and for the more common ones, bundle one or two together.


Though, the broken ones should start at $3 each, unless you want them to show up on this thread:

Just check the ended auctions if you want to see what they are currently selling for.

Why you sellin them?

Oh, so $4 is an eBay fail? Not cool.

Really the best thing to do is to look each them up individually. My husband has a used video game store and so I've sold a LOT of used Skylanders on ebay. What I usually do is look up completed auctions for each figure and sort them by the ones that ended soonest so you can see what they've gone for recently. Just look at the ones that actually sold (shown in green). I always put auctions up as Buy it Now. So then I look up the figures currently for sale, set it to show only buy it now listings, and then sort by lowest to highest. I then undercut or at least match the cheapest one already on ebay (don't forget to take shipping into account). Of course, if someone has something up bizarrely cheap I don't usually undercut them, you have to play it by ear a bit. Of course if you do an auction you might get more...or you might get less (with a low starting bid). I just prefer Buy it Now both as a seller and a buyer. I've never had a skylander not sell doing it this way. I'd sell the adventure pack stuff together, they should go for more that way (not all of them together, I mean the level, the 2 items, and the Skylander if you have it). I'd probably sell the other figures individually, I don't think you get as much putting them together because you have buyers that just want one of them and feel like they'll be paying more to get ones they don't want. If there are some that really don't sell well at all, then maybe in that case a lot is good, but probably only if you sell then low.

If you're looking for a price guide for selling and buying of used Series 1 Skylanders ... you really could have just searched the forums or via Google and easily found my pricing guide ...

I know it's hard for some people to search beyond the first/top page of most recent posts ... but c'mon, it's on Page 4 right now, not Page 400.

As for selling used figurines on eBay, you're wasting your time by doing an auction-style listing. Use a Buy It Now format with Free Shipping and high quality photos (that you actually shoot; not stock images from a Google search), and you will do well.

What he said. His buying guide is pretty much spot on!
