That offer is so that they can sell them on and make a profit, even if it's small. If you want some of your Funko Pops to go for the market rate then you'll need to sell them individually yourself, some won't be worth anything, then there's delivery and packaging costs to take into consideration. It will be easier to accept the 14k offer and get rid of them in one go. If you take out the more valuable ones and do this it's unlikely anyone will want to buy the rest in bulk. What they're worth is difficult to say because it comes down to what people are willing to pay. Check sites like eBay and Vinted and see what the ones you have sold for.

If you want fair market value for your Pops, then you have to sell them yourself individually or in small lots. That takes time and effort to take pictures and post. Then you have to ship each one which takes a box, bubble wrap, and a label. And you have to wait for them to sell.

Pops and other collectibles are down right now and values have dropped significantly after the Pop hype of COVID died down.

Getting 30% is pretty good in today's market. Look at sold listings for some of your Pops on eBay and Mercari and I bet a lot of them are selling for way less than PPG, especially common ones.

PPG is the best guides, but if you want more accurate values, you'll have to look them up individually on eBay sold listings.

Glad the community has you reorganizing and enjoying the Funkos

But how do you define the value of a pop? By how much you payed, by how much the apps tell or by emotional value? Either way nice pops you got

Why does the app have to put the ‘value’ on it? That just disappoints people. Funko Pop collections are not a financial investment

There should be a pinned comment saying “Don’t use the Funko app for valuations” message at the top of the sub.

nah the prices on the funko app r not really reliable. u usually gotta check hobbydb, mercari, or ebay to see recently sold prices

Reference hobby DB as well as self research ebay last solds.

The simple answer is their estimates pricing is so far off that you can't trust it for anything.

The best reason to buy is because you like them. The reality is that in the past two years Funko changed their strategy. They restock a lot. Buying something new with the intention That it’ll increase in price over time is no longer reliable. Case in point art the clown with sunglasses. It sold out, resale price was decent but it restocked multiple time and then a pre sale restock. They restock so much that values don’t hold up for most recent pops.

Buy pops because you like the because the resale value is not guaranteed for pops going forward. At least that’s my opinion and how I view it now. I no longer impulse buy.

>Example: I have several vaulted POP's that will continue to increase in value, and eventually if I lose interest in those characters from series/movies/games/anime etc, I'd sell them and make a profit. So it's not the main goal BUT i do keep an eye on that when I choose what to buy.

Fyi, I heard beanie baby collectors say exactly that back in the day.... You do it because you like it or you do it because you think they will go up in value. Don't kid yourself that it's both. Thats kinda like saying you buy a companies stock because not only do you like the company, but you think it will go up in value... Sure, but when it starts to tank how much money are you willing to lose?

Any collectable is a gamble, not an investment.

Collectibles have no guarantee of value ever, anything can simply tank overnight. Collect what you enjoy. If you can turn a small profit along the way to make collecting easier, that’s perfectly fine. I’ve been doing that for years. But I don’t think about value anymore, I just collect what I enjoy owning, what I’m proud to have.

Brings me memories of when I was happy

We do it just because

Recent sold listings on eBay 

I have the Hobby DB app, but honestly, it's a buyers market right now. I've learned to go on Ebay or Mercari and use the "sold" button. It's been a cold, hard reality check.

check ebay

The Funko app bases their worth off the pop price guide, and the pop price guide bases their worth off what they have been selling for at places like Amazon and eBay

I find the most accurate is to look them up on eBay at "sold for" prices.

Funko has their own official app. Pop price guide is a site that also gives you values of your pops

635 items, $10,140

That includes probably around 100 non-Pop items though, mostly Mystery Minis and PSH.

No. of Items 922

Total Est. Value $40,188.00

Most recent top 10 Tuesday pic: https://m.imgur.com/a/UHZQapg

75 items (includes mystery minis, pint size, etc), value $1200. Personal value outweighs the monetary value for me �� lol.

POPs: 258 Value: $8,979

620 Pops and the value is priceless. I am not selling my shit.

To value pops, one would typically check hobbydb/ppg for a trending value or ebay last sold for current values. OOB value is usually half of in box value.

Unfortunately even in box a lot of the OW pops don't go for all that much, even less so in the condition they're in (smoke/missing stands/scratches)

Definitely sell them online yourself, you'd be lucky to get a 1 or 2 dollars a piece if you try to sell at a store.
