Selling my Bionicle collection

[Artaxia]

Here's the stuff I have listed on ebay:

I have more than what's on there too. I have Mctoran Kongu, Radiak and I think a few more sets. I also have 10+ pounds of pieces. I really need to sell them ASAP.

You just have to be patient and time will tell if there is any intrerest. There are three problems here, one being our forums are small and not as active as a site like BZPower, two being the general lack of interest in Bionicle stuff, and three, the minimum bids are high. I can understand if you absolutley have to make so much money and that is the minimum bid you can accept, but the prices are going to turn away a good number of people up front.

What you should connsider is relisting them with a much lower minimum bid, but setting a reserve that has to be met, so if the winning bid is three bucks and your reserve is fiftey, you dont have to sell it for 3 bucks because 50 is your minimum, and you can then ask people to make you an offer. The lower price will at least get bidding started and some attention, but I think your minimum bid is higher than what anyone is going to want to pay for them to begin with, so you will likley have to settle for a lower price than what your asking.

When you listed it on BZPower, did you have an ebay auction ready then? You might want to see if you can revive your old topic and provide the ebay links, I know Im more comfortable buying from an ebay facilitated seller than a forum topic, so maybe once they see ebay is backing you up and they can finish the buy with a few clicks, there might be more interest from BZPower than before. Be sure to read BZP's buy/sell/trade rules, since I think you cant just make a new topic, they want you to reuse the old one or ask them to delete the original before you re-list it.

Really? I thought those were cheap. Especially since the Axalara comes with more Bionicle than just itself and it's cheaper than $90.... I guess I could try BZP again. And no, I didn't have them on ebay at the time.

Bricklink.com is a good place to go to check the value of sets and certain parts. In this case, I can get a used Axalara t9 for arund 50 bucks. The deal you have is not bad considering the other sets in it and their original prices, but to my knowledge, and I could be wrong, they arent in enough demand to bring the value of the deal up. Your best bet is to wait and see if they sell or not as they are since they are already listed, but after a while if they dont, take them down and check the bricklink prices and use that as a guide to th minimum bid and buy it now prices.

Make the minimum bid half of the average sale price or less, set the reserve to your absolute minimum you can take on them if the feature is available, and maybe redo the budles. for example, the axalara by itself for a cheaper total price may be more appealing than selling it with the others, then you can bundle those others into a smaller collection that is more likley to sell to those they appeal to without having to buy the t9 and so on.
