Pricing help

Hey guys. I don't have any experience with selling statues and I'm trying to figure out how to price them. I checked ebay, but the stuff I'm selling isn't showing up. Is there a pricing guide or other kind of source to figure out current going rates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ebay is pretty much it to my knowledge.

I was afraid of that. How do people price things if ebay is no help? Make up prices and hope for the best? Too high and they sit unwanted, too low and they sell fast, but you might be costing yourself a lot of money. Bummer.

Start at a little higher than what you would like to get for it. Ebay will let you automatically relist 3 times. If it doesn't sell at first amount, then lower it some for the second listing (lather, rinse, repeat).

I was just going to list them on the forums. Is ebay the better route?

IMO yes. People on the forum want things cheap.

LOL, I can't argue that. I've sold a few things over the years and if you give people something for free, they'll haggle over the price of shipping. I'll look into selling on ebay I guess.

Your stuff isn't showing up in the ebay sold history? Sounds like you might have some items on the rare side. They might sell well on the forum. Don't forget to calculate ebay's seller fee when considering selling outside of ebay.

I would, but there's enough items that I'd feel weird about it. They're kind of random things.
