Selling my pin collection, need advice.

Khraul

Hello everyone,

I've got a decent pin collection that I carefully packed up into a tote when my wife and I moved houses a couple years ago and they haven't seen daylight since. I'm downsizing a lot of my collectibles and probably selling my pin collection.

Trying to value things... is this an endorsed site and are the values close to accurate? Obviously this is retail and I won't get those dollars for the pins I have, but just to get a general idea of what things are worth? https://www.pinnyshop.com/

I need to catalogue everything still, but that's probably a next week project.

To my knowledge, there are no officially endorsed sites for second hand sales.

Yeah, I didn't think so. Is there a place to find reasonable values other than Ebay?

Not sure if you ever got around to selling your stuff, but I am actually organizing to sell collectibles I don't need as well (figures, board games, pins).

My strategy for pricing things this time around is to look at the past 5-6 or so listing of an item, add up what they sold for, and average it out. Pending if I think it should be a little more than that average, I think I am going with the price model. If I do a lot (which I surely will), I'll just add up the prices and possibly knock off a few bucks to start.

I haven't yet... I have quite a few pins from when they first released and I've been procrastinating on cataloguing them every time I sit down to do it I just open Loop Hero and get distracted

I also used a site that sells Pinny pins. I added up my prices from there for what I have to sell and then averaged that out with what I averaged out on eBay. A lot of averaging. Haha.

Suffice to say, I assume I will wind up lowering the price after a week of no bites. Or leave it up but accept offers. Seems like a high price, but I feel like it is priced accordingly.
