Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate
Step1
Start selling G. I. Joe action figures by determining the correct identification of the figure, including the date of issuance. This is simple if the collectible figure is in the original package which, of course, also increases the value considerably.
Step2
Attend collectible conventions. G. I. Joe collectors pay high amounts for rare items. The conventions are a good place to learn about the market.
Step3
Establish a fair market value for the G. I. Joe action figures. A smart seller doesn't want to price themselves out of the market, but also doesn't want to get less than a fair price. Offer a special deal on several related items to buyers and increase sales.
Step4
Sell online through eBay. This online market is one of the best places to sell G.I. Joe action figures. Take clear photographs of the items and write a thorough description of everything. Be certain to make note of any defects.
Step5
Start an online collectibles store. If a collector has a large collection, this is a good way to sell directly to customers. You can set up an e-commerce site for a few hundred dollars.
