hello all!
I am new here and am looking to sell 99% of my collection of ponies.
none of them are mint. They are all played with from my childhood. I am 41 and mlp has been a part of my entire life since they first appeared. The idea of selling them is a bit scary but right now they have been living in a storage bin and it is a shame. Also when my time comes to an end on this earth what would happen to them all? So it is time for me to sell the majority of them.
I am not sure how to start and the idea of ebay feels very overwhelming to me. I have all kinds of ponies and figures etc.
Can I post the pics here? If someone wants it they message me?
What's the best course of action to take?
I appreciate your time. Also, forums are new to me so I appreciate patience
 
Hi, and welcome! We love ponies here, you can definitely find some buyers. Pictures are always great, and feel free to ask if you need pricing help.

Yes, if you can share pictures of what you have we can help you with identifying, pricing and some selling advice. Usually it's more profitable to sell ponies individually but depending on what you have and how much time you want to invest there is a cost to benefit balance. I always try to sell here first to avoid all those ebay/paypal fees and then whatever doesn't go I eventually put on ebay.

Thank you. I'm currently taking pictures of them all and cataloging them. I'm also including descriptions of their condition like pen markings or their marks faded etc. It's definitely gonna take me a few days. I have over 100 for sure. I'm making sure not to clean them because I have no idea about the restorative process and don't want to worsen anything. Like I said, I definitely played with these lovlies

I do notice that the pictures I take on my camera seem to be too large a file size for this site. Any advice on that by chance?

Are you using a phone/device camera or a point and shoot camera?

Don't worry about the condition. As for me I really enjoy the restoration of them and getting them back to display. I appreciate that you loved them and played with them.

Your phone should have an option for changing the photo size when you upload. Not sure what kind of phone your using but if your on an iPhone this is what it looks like:

If your phone doesn’t have options for you to edit your photos in any way. Then I would suggest reading through this thread there is a few helpful things there as well. :)
