Re: Thinking about selling some figures at upcoming 80's Toy Expo
I have been selling stuffs @ TFCons (and sometimes the other 'cons during the year, too) for the last few years. Bring a variety of things does help. Priced your stuffs accordingly depends on various factors such as scarcity, condition, etc. and don't forget to factor in the cost. I like to sell some of my less valuable stuffs like the run of the mill deluxes, etc. with deals like buy 2 get a few bucks off to move them - unless you have something special you are not going to get a lot of money back for some of the mass market items. And priced your items beforehand since you don't have the time to figure out how much they are at the time. You may not sell everything you have on the table, too, so do prepare for a bit of disappointment. And be prepared for low ballers and be prepared to decline a deal - so if you don't really need to sell it at such low price then don't. If you decided to go ask a friend or a family member to go with you, or like the others have mentioned share the table with another exhibitor - you can't run it by yourself obviously. If you setup a shelf behind your table put the more valuable things on the shelf so only you can show it to a potential buyers and no one has access to it. I didn't notice a lot of theft but do keep an eyes on stuffs especially loose bots or parts. Bring or borrow a cart or something to move boxes. Yes, the hotel do have a few but they are mostly grabbed by others so don't count on them.
