Topic	Made over $1000 profit selling Funko Pops this weekend
Zeus 01/29/18 1:25:12 AM #16:	LinkPizza posted... Zeus posted... wtf... That's nutty. At any rate, when I got a Chernabog (standard) from the Disney store, the box was banged up so I just tossed it. I wish I'd save it for the remote chance of someday making a lot of money selling it... but I also kinda really like that Chernabog. Probably one of only Pop!s I wouldn't get rid of, him and the Batman TAS Scarecrow. Why would you toss it? That's weird... I threw out the box, not the figure. The box was in shitty shape so I didn't see any point in keeping it. LinkPizza posted... That's weird. Basically, it's a gamble on which ones to buy? The stuff that came out earlier would have been the best bet because now they're probably doing larger runs. However, most things which come out at a Hot Topic have a large enough run that they'll likely never be rare. If you're just thinking about stuff that might rise in price, you'd probably want to go for variants which aren't likely to have that many produced (con exclusives and website exclusives). In the case of the metallic set, they were apparently SDCC exclusives so even at the time the run would have been small enough that not everybody might have been able to get one. https://www.poppriceguide.com/guide/p/PopVinyl_PopDisney/191/SorcererMickeyampChernabogMetallic/ Convention exclusives in general tend to be more expensive on the aftermarket. LinkPizza posted... But you usually don't know which ones have less, I assume. Or people would be buying those like crazy just to sell them. But I feel like people could make an educated guess. Convention exclusives literally always have smaller runs. Sometimes there might be enough overstock that it gets a limited retail run, but if you can find it at a retailer usually it's not going to be worth that much in the long run. Barnes & Noble picked up a bunch of the con exclusives that Funko couldn't sell and I'm assuming that they haven't increased that much in value although, for obvious reasons, they'll wind up being more expensive than normal release Pop!s. If you're trying to invest in collectibles to make money, it's probably not worth bothering unless you also like the collectibles themselves. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:895016124] in Made over ...
