Televex Toy Dilemma
I have a bunch of toys. Some robots, some superheroes and some monsters. I want t keep a lot of them, but there are at least as many I would like to (and probably NEED to) get rid of. Ebay takes up too much of my time. Vintage Stock wont give very much money for them. I will make a list soon of what I'm hoping to get rid of.
What should I do?

I have a lot of work to do. Photos and organizing. Good luck to you.
It's always tough to get rid of stuff, and right now, the market is TERRIBLE unless the toy is rare or in demand. I've found that stuff that dealers don't want you may be better off trading... you never know what you are going to get in return.
Trading is a good idea. Lemme work up some lists and I'll post it in the appropriate place.
Thanks, Josh. I am digging the new site.
So funny, I have this issue from time to time. Of course if its a high dollar collectable I will put it on ebay or trade it to friends. So what about the not so expensive under $10.00 toys?
I give them to kids! Its sad fact that sometimes we forget kids play with toys and something that might not be "worth" hundreds of dollars are actually priceless to kids.
I have donated many really cool toys to kids during Christmas or given them to my co-workers kids. Trust me they flip out when they get some cool toy out of nowhere, especially when it comes to the cool toys we collect.
Salvation Army and the USMC have very well done toy drives, If there are a few that possible fit in the above the above category please I suggest donating a few.
Cheers!

This is also a fine idea. Thanks for reminding me. My wife and I are both toy nerds and we know how very lucky we are to be able to keep up with this hobby. Because of this we do give regularly to Toys for Tots, even purchasing brand new toys for the cause.
