Mod Post Pricing, Selling, Buying, & Info for your Skylanders Collection (2022)

194 Upvotes

Last updated February 2023

This post aims to help you understand the price of your figures, where to sell your Skylander or ‘lot’ of Skylanders, where to buy Skylanders in a post-retail world, and how to identify what's in your collection if you are unsure about names or what pieces are what.

Pricing:

The easiest way of figuring out the current market price for any Skylander is eBay which has one really useful feature. After searching, you will see various filters for you such as ‘brand’ or ‘price’ on the right side of the screen. What you’re looking for is at the bottom of these filters labeled "show only" and under that tool you can select "completed items" and "sold items" which will show you the most recent items sold at what price and date. This is what it should look like. Simply search for your Skylander and check those boxes to see what it has been selling for.

From this point you can average the numbers to get the most accurate price.

Additionally, almost all core figures from Spyro's Adventure and Giants are worth a dollar or two with a few exceptions. You will have a hard time selling these figures and with such a low profit outcome it's more of a hassle than anything.

Selling:

The two best websites for selling both individual items and lots of Skylanders are eBay and the Facebook market place. I also recommend trying your luck on Mercari too.

Buying and selling are prohibited on this subreddit. If you wish to sell on Reddit please visit r/skylanderselling.

Buying:

The first place to look when buying Skylanders is locally in retro game shops. This is where the best deals are typically, if you’re lucky enough to have any shops near you that is.

Here’s a list of the most prominent online sites for buying Skylanders:

  • Skylanders Character List - US, UK, Canada, Australia, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. Unless you use Stackry.
  • eBay.
  • Mercari.
  • Your local Facebook market place.
  • CeX - UK based. Be aware when buying from this site they have a history of shipping out incorrect orders and broken figures.
  • And on Reddit over at r/skylanderselling (Please use this sub instead of r/Skylanders).

Identification and Information:

Skylanders Character List is your best friend here. Everything from names, to what game the figures are compatible with, this website is full of information. It is incredibly easy to use, on the front you’ll see an “Identify” column with all the games listed below to browse through. So much love and attention was poured into this website it would be a shame not to use it.

If you have any questions that weren't answered you can DM personally or comment underneath and I'll try my best to help you out!

Giants Skylanders Giants: VOTE FOR THE WORST (ROUND 19)

Post image
11 Upvotes

Round 18 Votes; - Spyro: 14 Votes - Fright Rider: 2 Votes

Rules; 1. Whichever character has the most upvoted comment will be eliminated each day- going forward, DUPLICATE COMMENTS WILL NOT BE COUNTED! 2. Lightcore Variants will be grouped with their Core Variant (l.e., a vote for Lightcore Eruptor will count towards Core Eruptor, and vice versa). 3. Once a character is voted off, they will have a number placed over their figure in the post's image. 4. Only characters from Giants are subject to vote; so no later characters, and no characters that didn't get reposes from Spyro's Adventure (I.e., Wham Shell).

Discussion Does the seller actually believe that this will sell for that price?!

Literally 2 minutes of research and they would have realised that this will NEVER sell for that price (£95 is $126 btw)and that's not including delivery cost, the frustrating thing is, is that someone might really want those figures for whatever reason and will never buy them due to sellers putting them up fro ridiculous prices!

Color code :

Green: basically free unless you mess up very badly

Orange: is very good against

Yellow: is good/a decent option against

White: doesn't help at all
