Hi all...Just need an opinion or two (gonna be long winded lol)
About to close my store (health and old age reasons), which has specialized in
figures and used sets. I plan to leave the store open while hopefully selling
off the remaining inventory.
But...as I have accumulated inventory over the years, I have drawers filled with
figure parts (torsos, legs, heads, etc.). The drawers are labeled by theme (star
wars, indiana jones, super hero, castle, pirates, ninjago, etc.)
My question is:
As none of the figures are complete, how would I go about selling off these parts?
BTW, all are in excellent condition or I wouldn't have stored them.
I'm sure these drawers of parts would be valuable to those selling minifigures.
Any ideas? thanks, amber

you can sell them individually as parts rather then figures or if you want them
all sold in 1 go you can list them as a custom lot and someone could buy them
(if you go that route I might be interested in them)

But 1 complaint and 8 neutral all about cigarette smell!!!!

I would pass too.

Thanks for the replies! If you’ll notice the posts regarding smoke were several
years ago , not recently.
As of about 8 to 10 years ago, I quit…so smoke is not an issue, but I totally
understand your reservations
I did consider going the custom route and I may do that but am waiting on a new
phone to get better photos.
Thanks again, amber

congrats on quitting! I do solid washes of my figure parts before listing them
so if it has no/little smell I might be interested in it again if you do end
up going that route . feel free to let me know if you do go that route 🍕🍕🍕
