| I currently have about £10k (resale) of various minifigures, about £2k on Bricklink
and £8k other places (eBay etc). I've toyed with the idea of just selling
the whole business to someone who could pick it up and run with it, or integrate
the stock into their own. I'm not desperate to sell but have wondered what
a likely realistic price would be.
All the figures are identified, most are new, lots of various themes (CMF, Star
Wars, Marvel DC, Simpsons, Team GB etc), good variety of figures. There is a
storage system with everything labelled, stored away etc.
Just wondering if anyone has sold bulk lots that are already part of a functioning
business? In my mind it seems realistic to get 50% of the resale value....I'm
sure we'd all like more but realistically people need to hold the stock until
it sells, make a reasonable profit, take the risk it won't sell etc, so would
£5k for £10k worth of minifigures be realistic?
If someone offered it to you, what sort of price range would get you interested?

| I think 50% of the 6-month average is reasonable, given that they're minis
- I checked a few of your prices, two were slightly lower than the 6-month avg,
one was quite a bit higher, so I can't really say whether 50% of what you're
currently selling for is reasonable.

Thanks for the reply. I based prices on what was available at the time in the
UK...and pitched towards the low-end of that. So probably not that different
to the global 6-month average but some of the figures were quite a lot higher
/ lower in the UK so there will be some variation.
