    Well Ive decided its time to really narrow down my stuff. Im going to part with my Classics. I have almost everyone from wehn they started until now. Also quite a bit of 3rd part stuff. Just need some opinions on how, one large lot or seperate them? Im on the fence about this. On the one side selling them as a lot would be quicker for me. Work, kids football and soccer, and a list of stuff to get done before winter hits is the main reason. Then the other question, put a Buy it Now with Best Offer, or start it out at 99. Would love to hear what anyone thinks. Ive never sold this amount of stuff at once. Thanks, Michael

    It depends a lot on what you've got, but I've seen some large buy it nows on eBay that just weren't moving because of the total price. If you've got like $3000 worth of stuff, the market for people who want to drop that kind of coin on an instant collection probably isn't huge (I may have been ripe for the plucking a few months ago, but I've picked up quite a few things in the meantime). I think you'd get a lot more by parting it out, but obviously that's a much bigger time commitment. Do you have a ballpark figure on what you'd like to get total?

    Not sure on what Im going to ask if I do a BIN and BO. Im keeping Voyager Prime and the BTS Trailer, his LED Rifle, Hot Rod and the FP Protector Aromor, and Bruticus. Thats going to know down the price. After all that there will be 49 items at once, mostly Hasbro bots, 3 FP itmes, 5 PE items, 1 SDCC item, 3 Heinki, which 2 are Ganbo exclusives. Do you guys think 1500 is way too much. Cmon, opinions please. I know its hard not knowing whats all here.

    Everything here was bought new, only displayed, transformed once if even that to put into bot mode. Perceptor is the only one I bought used and doenst have his papers. Otherwise all 3rd parties and Heinki's have theyre boxes.

    It depends on if you want maximum money or a quick sale

    BIN it as a large lot somewhat lower than the going rate for a fast sale or sell individually but lose time shipping each piece.

    Break it down by line(classics,universe,generations,etc.)for smaller bins.Check completed listings over the past couple week and price to sell fast or it will sit there.
