Advice about merch?

Aug 17, 2011 20:25

Hello again! I come to you with a plea for advice.

So I found these two pieces of Pokemon merchandise at Goodwill, and thought that maybe they were valuable. ( info and pics under cut )

plush, questions, generation 4, merchandise

Hmmm... It is hard to say! Those pieces of merchandise were around for a long while there, but now they are out of circulation, so it's hard to say if anyone on this community or otherwise would want either of them, especially since you never know what people are seeking. However, I would say the 28$ is a bit much! I'd probably sell it myself for $10-$15, but that's mainly because I don't know if anyone is still wanting the guy.

Ah, thank you for your input! I knew they wouldn't be exactly rare, especially since they aren't super exclusive Japanese merch or something XD

i agree with mamoswine. both items really aren't that rare. true that they are not in circulation anymore, but again they where out for quite sometime. if you where going to sell the items, i say maybe $10 for the plush and $3 to $5 for the keychain. just suggestions:) GREAT finds for goodwill though!! i went to my local goodwill and not much luck. i only found one of the old old pokemon binders. it was in good shape though and only a $1! i need to go back one of these days.

Thanks so much for your advice. I appreciate it very much.

I LOVE Goodwill, thriftstores are so great.

(Also, Vulpix is one of my favorite Pokemon, and your icon is totally adorable <3 )

no problem at all:) glad to help out.

since i don't drive at this time, my mom is my ride and she doesn't seem to care for thrift stores and goodwill. i think it is the vibe of the place mixed with how much it varies how the places are kept up. we went to one local goodwill and it did smell funny, but thinking how much stuff they get on a daily basis, it isn't going to smell like roses. i am sure there are good and bad goodwills/thrift stores.

thanks! Vulpix is of course my favorite and i love this icon! i got it from this community when someone posted icons they made.
