Best place to sell statues?

Does anyone have any recommendations for places to sell statues, that aren't eBay, or Mercari? I'd like to make some changes to my collection, but don't want all the proceeds eaten up by fees.

The forum's B/S/T section is apparently not an option.

Thanks.

I have actually had luck selling some on Craiglist

Also, you might want to check your LCBS.

Facebook has some B/S/T groups for statues, but really ebay seems like the main place. My LCBS doesn?t buy statues because they have more issues with breakage, but action figures they may take.

Facebook groups I'd say are #1 behind ebay...after that craigslist, your LCS, or board buy/sells, but I don't know how active the board buy/sells are anymore...definitely not this one...maybe Collector Freaks.

Ebay, even with all the complaints from both the side of the seller and buyer, still gives you the greatest visibility, by miles.

Thanks for the insight, everyone. I was hoping to avoid eBay, because of the fees, and their policy of siding with the buyer by default on every issue, but I guess it's either that, or

well unfortunately with the Ebay fees that is causing people to increase the price of the statues they are selling to recoup that cost. And then you have to take into account shipping which that cost has really skyrocketed.

Facebook has been my go-to for buying. Found some very rare pieces -- all in great condition/price. Selling to those groups is a solid way
