[quote=Kaymoz]I really need to clean out our basement.  I am a pack rat so this is hard.
We have several bins of toys from the Rescue Hero era that need a new home.
I can't bear to part with the Playmobil stuff myself, and our son still loves Legos (and probably always will!).   
But I kinda think those bulky plastic hero guys and all their even bulkier vehicles need to go.  
While I could just donate the lot, I have found it more satisfying to sell certain things.  There is some emotional closure for me in interacting with the person who is picking up where I left off with all those trappings of childhood that must be unloaded as the years go by.

My question is:  what would be the best way to do this?  (I am not willing to ship them, so no eBay.). 
Should I just do one big lot or break them up?  Sell by the pound or by item?  (We really have LOTS, including a big fire truck, massive aquatic center that looks like an aircraft carrier, etc.). Should I sell the guys separately from the vehicles, given that I have little idea which guys go with which paraphanalia?  And  where to list?  I have sold many household things on Craigslist over the years but I suspect there are other listing locations that a parent of young children would consult for toys, or even grandparents with imaginations!  Our Rescue Hero Collection is lightly used by one child, from a non-smoking home, etc. so ought to be attractive if there is a market for used Rescue Hero stuff at all.   (Guess I could have asked that question in the first place!)
Thanks![/quote]
