Large swag of next gen toys - where to sell and how much?

[sharpe]

Not sure where to post this so i'll post it here for now.

10 years or more ago I collected alot of star trek collectables - mostly playmates stuff - and it has been all sitting in my wardrobe for many years with no use. It's just occured to me that I can actually sell some of it so here is an incomplete list of what I have (most of it, sans figures, still has the original box with it although they have been opened - plus the blueprints if they came with it etc).

-About 40+ Next gen playmates figures - an indication of which ones are sought after would be nice
- TNG playmates bridge playset (my favourite)
- Shuttlecraft Goddard
- Shuttlecraft Gallileo from TOS w/ kirk figure
- TNG playmates Tricorder, Phaser, and Communicator
- TNG Transporter
- TOS Phaser and Communicator
- Tribble plush toy (the one that makes sounds or vibrates or whatever it does) w/ box (although the box is a little creased in one part)
- First Contact Borg Sphere w/ sounds etc
- Innerspace stuff including the bigger enterprise one with the little bridge, ten forward etc, plus a shuttlecraft, klingon bird of prey, borg cube, and the romulan warbirg - pretty sure i have all the little figures for each of them too
- Limited edition Silver border Star Trek TNG CCG tin box set - at least half of the cards are unwrapped
- I've got a bunch of star trek micromachines too - I think I have some set of silver coloured ones (still plastic but maybe sought after? not sure)

I have other stuff too which escape me at that time. If you want more details or can give me indications of how much to expect to get for individual items/all of it please let me know.

Its too early to sell. Wait another decade or so.

Do a search for similar things ending soon on ebay and see how much people are bidding for them, or have a look at private sellers on Amazon and see what they're up for. There's probably a price guide of some sort in a magazine or collector's book somewhere for more accurate information though.

I've sold a few of my old Trek things before at a car boot sale when I tagged along with a friend who was doing one, and unless you really want to shift stuff quickly I'd advise against it - you will hardly get anything 'cos everyone wants to haggle you down, and you have to be constantly on the lookout for people trying to swipe things!

If you really want to move it, you could consider selling the entire lot on ebay. Lots almost always sell well, and people like getting an entire collection in one shot. If you have the original boxes and packaging you can do really well. Given the glut of playmates stuff out there, which has never really appreciated much in value, you might want to consider this option. I own a few playmates items that I just like to have, but as for them increasing in value only the TOS Comm and Phaser and the TOS NCC 1701 have every gone anywhere in terms of price increase.
