The moment I saw this terminator action figure, I knew I’d be making a nice profit. Intricate action figures from well-known brands, especially if they’re a limited edition piece fetch for good amounts of money. The fact that this toy was being sold for only $6.99 made it an even more irresistible deal.

If you do get your hands on items like these and you want to make as much money as you can, you don’t want to screw up your marketing. It’s always a safe bet to make the photos as appealing as possible. That would mean good lighting, beautiful staging, and a decent camera. You don’t have to use an expensive DSLR camera with your photos, by the way. Cameras on phones these days have great quality, so use them.

For action figures, the most suitable platform to post them on, I’ve found, is eBay. You’ve got a worldwide audience with an auction system. And that’s pretty handy, because if your item is a good catch, you’re letting your customers decide how much they want to pay for it. Sometimes, it might exceed your expectations.

So I posted it on eBay, but I decided not to use an auction-style listing because I knew this was a HOT item that sells for a lot and I didn’t want to risk it being sold at a much lower price than I wanted. They were selling this toy on eBay for $150 – $200+. When I was at the thrift store and initially saw it, I just thought it was a cool-looking toy, but once I looked up its value, I realized it was a rare Terminator collector’s toy.
