    Ebay selling advice please peeps

    Right - me and th'missus have a rather large collection of TY Beanie Babies dating back quite a few years, 75 in all.
    The time has come to get rid tbh, not enough space to keep 2 black binliners full of soft toys, so we are going to bung the collection on FleaBay.

    After having a look at a few sites and finding the RRP of every single one, we've managed to estimate the total RRP at about $727, roughly £390.

    Now, there's not to many whole collections on there, mainly individual toys, problem we have is, we really can't be arsed to photograph 75 individual soft toys and deal with 75 transactions, we'd far rather flog them off in one hit, problem is, what should we expect as a minimum value ? Some of these are not rare, some are - some will fetch the full asking, possibly more, some won't.

    Any advice chaps / chappesses ?

    Any ideas ?

    If you have a few rare ones sell them individually. Flog the rest as a single lot.

    i'd say the same as Flibb, weed out the rare ones, get lots for those, and then sell the less rare ones later.

    Sell the cheapest first to get a few feedback as someone who knows his babys and that way 'collectors' checking your profile will see that you are a bit of a trader of that sort of stuff. Any percentage increase as an 'expert' trader will have more of an effect on the higher price stuff. I don't see the point of selling the stuff individually as you can charge postage on each item you sell anyway.
