VAl, how do you usually sell your stuff? Ebay? Craigslist (or equivalent)? Door-to door pulling a cart with collectible statues?
I always try Craigslist first: no shipping hassles; no fees; cash payment; etc.
The downside, of course, is how limited your target audience is. Even in a city with over 2.8 million peeps, collectible statue are still a very niche thing, and mine have been listed (at a very reasonable price, I might add) for many months with zero bites.
Ebay is always next, but even there, nothing. I've lowered the price twice, even sent offers to the people that are always on the watch list for some reason, but still nothing. If they think they're going to get it for a song though, they've got another thing coming. They'll do just fine sitting on my shelf; I'm not giving them away for free. In all though, I think the market for this stuff may have sailed, and as Weta continues to churn out newer pieces and with many other companies now in the game, what we once deemed as 'charm' and 'character' in the original statues just means old crap to the newer generation of collectors, who also expect used things for free.
