While I reach so many more possible buyers thru ebay, I also like selling locally. If I can find a fair deal locally, I'll usually take that over the ebay deal. The buyer gets to see the bobblehead in person and hopefully I get the chance to make them a repeat buyer! Speaking of, if you are looking for any Minnesota themed bobbleheads, let me know! I might just have something you'd like!

I don't just buy bobbleheads!
It might seem like I only buy bobbleheads, but I touched on this in an earlier post. When I buy in bundles, I typically try to move those bobbleheads I already have. There seems to be a very common misconception in the world of ebay and craiglist buying/selling. Quick lesson, if a bobblehead routinely sells for $50 on ebay...one shouldn't expect to get $50 for that same bobblehead thru craigslist. Ebay sellers usually pay to list their item and then a percentage of the final sale value also goes to ebay. Typically this ranges from 15-20%, on top of that there are shipping costs for the seller, sometimes they pass that along to the buyer while other times they don't. So that $50 quickly becomes $40 if not less.
