I'm fixing to sell off most of my DCUC collection. Wondering if anybody else here has done so recently and has any thoughts, tips, experiences... best to sell in team lots, series lots, singles? Any particular figures especially sought after? What's the value/demand overall?

 

(and if anybody here is interested in buying a big lot of figures, let me know and we can connect)

I sold almost all of mine over the last 6ish months. I mostly did individual figures. I sold on Mercari and I found that for most figures I could get anywhere from $7-$13 per fig. There are a few that can get more that had high interest (a lot of them seemed kinda random in their popularity), around $12-$20 each. BAF's can get you more, low end around $25, the highest I got was for Chemo I think, in the $90's.  For all of these, in my experience, even for the more popular ones, could take awhile to move. I had a Green Lantern Abin Sur listed for almost two months before it sold for $8.  I was ok with that as it seems for a certain percentage of people getting DCUC in the aftermarket, aren't searching all the time, so it's a matter of waiting around for the right set of eyes to look.  I would also suggest listing several at a time, as sometimes if someone see's one figure they know they want but another they where on the fence on, they may make you an offer for both for a slight discount.

 

I kinda hurt getting rid of them, but I need space, and I figured I got their value out of them as it's been what, 17ish years since that line started?

I havent sold mine, but I wonder if the later ones (from Matty Collector, especially the subscriber exclusives) are worth more

They are, again character dependent.  I sold Jay Garrick for way more than Fire, but as a whole all the subscription figures seem to go pretty decently in my experience.

Thanks--this is good to know.

Interesting: Looking at the Legion 12 pk---seems like it's better to sell them individually. The set goes for ~$600, but many of the figures go for ~$100 ea.  Plus my package is no longer really mint and it would be a pain in the ass to ship. Something sad about parting out such a great set, but...idk.

I'm surprised about that honestly - you would think the full set would sell for more!

Not being a LOSH fan I was alright with missing this set (especially with how much Matty Collector shipping to Europe would have been for it!) but it does look like a cool set

I think that LOSH 12-pack was my favorite DC figure purchase ever. I can't imagine ever selling it. Of course I'm the guy who still loves the Mattel DCUC over anything McF has done.

It would be pretty funny to also put up Invisible Kid from the LOSH box-set as an individual listing. LOL

I was going to say -  the only way you know you got Invisible Kid was if you have the box.    You should list it as a 13 pack and highlight the Invisible Kid inclusion.   Getting the box is the only way to know for sure you have him 🙂
