Hi, I'm getting my hands on a couple of series 18-19 sealed CMF boxes and
a DC sealed box. I never had CMFs before.

I see the sealed boxes would fetch a nice price, but would it be worthwhile to
part the CMFs ?

I'm not sure I can get more bang for my buck if I sell the minifigs and accesories
separately.

Time isn't an issue.

Any input would be appreciated.

I used to part them out more than I do now. I have quite a bit of pieces from
CMF that are over a year old. But if time is no issue, they do often have a
little more value parted out.

A LOT of the heads never get used on another minifig again.

The only ones I have parted out over the years are ones where I want a part or
two out to of them but not the remainder of the CMF. Leaving them sealed as individual
CMF's is to me the better way to go if you're just looking to flip them
and are not in a rush. Cases are hit or miss depending upon the series.

I've always parted them out, it's not a lot of work if you consider the
value per piece. And easy in terms of storage. Then again, if everyone recommends
you to part them out, then don't. It pays best to be unique
And if you wait a few years with it, prices will go up up up
