For a person that buys, sells and trade VHS tapes, these episodes are priceless for how a dealer thinks when it comes to a passionate business owner p.o.v.
For those that think people get ripped off through this process. You have to think. If it were you. Would you want to take the time to process, sort, list, and house all of these items? Just to wait months to sell even one of them. Or would you rather, like these people. Take your collection to someone who is willing to do that and sell the whole lot at a 45-50% discount? The second hand market isn't easy to profit from. It takes time, effort, and resources to get to the level that these guys are at. It's totally fair.
Also consider it from the store owner's perspective. There's a guy on YT named Tommy Wright who is documenting his experience after buying a Subway franchise location. He worked 13/ 14-hour days every day there. After all of his costs, he made like $10/hr the 1st week. The 2nd week was like a *total* of $21 and some change. Overhead for a store is a beast.
This made my Saturday morning. I have never been in a retail buy-swap situation, but I enjoy seeing some of the behind the sausage. I like how the deals always seem fair. Tough at times (hey, it’s retail), but fair
I like how your videos are raw and no fluff. You know what I mean. Like what reality TV should be like. I think it makes it alot more genuine and I've just come across your videos for the first time lol
I have some of the Buffy items! I think they are very well made and they are well care for and most never open! I made my own spike doll out of a GI joe action figure can be tons of fun remakeing dolls! 😊❤
@@toyfederation Definitely ok with that! I know you're busy pumping out premium content - shorts during the week highlighting a favourite collectible toy in the shop would be super cool!
Hey John, don't listen to these silly willy's. Ain't nothing wrong with a grown ass man that loves some Buffy merch! And it just doesn't make any sense, it's as if you're admitting to collecting Spice Girl dolls or something...which my (completely secure with my heterosexuality) ass totally did back in the day when I was a late teen. I also collected Beanie Babies. Not for investment purposes, but because I liked all the different animal species they made. 100% no soy in me 💪.
Can you please make more videos? I love seeing everything and the negotiations. This channel is perfect! Out of curiosity what toy is your number one seller?
Seems pretty common for folks to struggle with the concepts of value, worth and what a person (in this case a business owner) is willing to pay (ideally to keep the previously mentioned business owner's business in business)
I'm not a toy collector myself accept for Predator statues I paint myself, but I could watch this channel daily and not lose interest. Such a fascinating channel and professional presented
I watched a lot of Buffy, probably every episode. Kind of reminds me a little of the Twilight Saga films where you have vampires fighting but also romance going on. I'm a fan of the Twilight films too.
The Cops art is awesome. I have some very rare Production sketches from The Power Lords line as well as engineering specs for a proposed vehicle from the Galoob Blackstar line that eventually made it's way to the totally underrated Infaceables line.
It’s funny when sellers always say “ to tell you the truth I don’t know what the value is” or “ I didn’t collect these for the value”. When they know EXACTLY what they’re worth!!!
Just came from a estate sale and picked up some star wars figures and a poster of Buffy and Angel together for my wife. That was her pick for when we watched something together.
It is hard to believe a Sideshow figure used to cost $20-$30 but I used to work at a 1/6 shop and remember all of those and the Bayonets and Barbed wire figures, BBI and Dragon made better figures back then lol
Does no one on youtube understand wholesaling? If you think the price is low... then consider the fact that finding retail buyers is often difficult, involves potential negotiation, shipping and other costs aside from the time and physical effort.
Love your show! Keep it up. I am amazed at the knowledge you guys have of the toys. I've watched all of your videos and am surprised by the toys I forgot about! Love it!
That Cordelia with the sword unopened only sells for about $100 max on eBay and about 12 of them have sold this year alone. Opened, with no sword, maybe $60. Just because it's "rare" doesn't mean it's valuable.
Geese gents the wait was killing me for your next one lol, would you possibly look a doing a store tour that would be awesome. Thank you very much for the awesome content and channel 😊
I found you through Froggy Flips - saw your store there - watched this - liked - subcribed and leaving comment - good content - Love your shirt as well - Keep it going - Always be hunting.
There's an underlying tone of, "LOL Buffy, LOL" is this one, which is a real bummer. The show was a massive hit and is still considered to be Joss Whedon's best work by a lot of people.
We did not have that tone at all. But, you may have saw our concern for knowing that, at least in our area, it's not a popular line and so it was quite a gamble for us to take it in. We even mention our main Buffy buyer. And, until he came in with his collection, we had next to none.
I can’t get enough of people coming in and thinking that they’ll get top dollar to watching the offer of $0.20 on the dollar sink in….this is the ultimate reality TV.
Yep! Sad, but a big part of it is convenience too. You are essentially saying "Hey buy my stuff" and when you bundle things together you won't get near the full value or even most of the value when you do that. You could get more if you took time to piece it out but that takes time and most people don't want to do that. I've been there too. It is what it is! Hopefully someone else gets to enjoy these collectibles. Was never a Buffy fan myself but it's interesting how they make figures for everything and even things back in the day. WILD.
@@3hirdtimesacharm What do you mean? If you sell 'to a store,' you will ALWAYS get less money - even if you bring just one or a few figures. Even if I walk into the store with just one 'ultra rare' Sideshow/Hot Toy or whatever figure, I will never get what it is 'worth.' He has to sell the figure himself and make a profit. If you 'urgently' need money or space, then 'the store' is your only option. Otherwise, you just need to have a bit of patience, list it on eBay/online, and wait - eventually, the figure will sell.
Really like how you explain your stock and when and how it sells, there is a comic book warehouse in my area, and even they are upfront about the logistics. So if the book is "worth" $50 but they have 6 in stock and you want to make yours their 7th, they might not take it or the offer is low. Its the hard part about collecting and the lesson I have learned in all my years and various interests, its best to collect because you like the items and its fun.
Yep! That's what I was here to comment about. That woman (besides not looking anything like them), is way too old to be that guy's daughter, unless they had her at like 15. And no way they're together _like that._ I mean maybe, if it's some escort service situation.
I'm like 35 minutes away, and it feels like eternity 😂. I went there recently (first time to the new location), and it's absolutely worth your 5 hour trip.
I buy Funko Pop's. Is it just your personality to sh*t on things people like, while simultaneously collecting "cool toys"? Did the big bad jocks bully you too much and now you feel the need to bully others... online no less? Super tough guy 😂
This is really cool, but I feel like including a few more close ups of some of the items you bought would be nice, Editing is great too. Feels like Pawn Stars but a very specific genre.
Buffy the vampire slayer was the stranger things at the time. Great show by the very man who went on to give us the very first Avengers movie. Definitely don't see a lot of buffy figures in the stores I have been in so hopefully they sell
I’m always interested in what people collect. Buffy is one of those things I can’t understand why it took off Iike it did, but, I guess it’s worth some bucks.
I watched it in high school. In all honesty, I have a very sentimental feeling towards this show because it was the only thing I actually looked forward to each week. 8:00 on Tuesday nights. It kept me going through high school because it was a rough time in my life. It kept me wanting to stick around to see the next episode. As lame as it sounds, it’s the truth. Things are so much better now, but, I have collected Buffy things when I see them out and about.
@ I collect Star Wars primarily. First, it started with the movies back in the day. THEN, it was always great stuff to play with my friends. I collect TODAY now that my folks are gone because this stuff reminds me of better times.
It's a business at the end of the day, following protocol when makeing purchase the owner definitely won't lose out. Look at the inventory on the walls there's so much motu, yet you don't see motu flying off the shelves it's basically decoration.
10:00 Just to illustrate how people can be manipulated. They didn't want anything to do with merch from a show, when it wasn't on air, no one cared. a few new episodes come out, and people be swarming to get their uninterested hands on that junk. I wonder when that show dies out, what the people that bought those will do with that crap, seeing they actually never cared about it's merch other then the hype the show brought. i still get a kick out of the 80's shows i grew up with, i still have my He-Man figures from my childhood, i doubt that the hype stranger things has when a few episodes comes out, will last the comming 5 years, when people will be selling their figures on card for 10 bucks on websites. or in a yard sale.
The guy had a lot of stuff no one wants to add that much inventory and investment that’s why the offer was probably lower then he would’ve gotten if he put in a lil work to sell it himself

Who has Buffy in their collection?
I do! Buffy and Angel are 2 of my all time favorite shows!
Yea! Finally we have a fan!
@@toyfederation yeah I absolutely love the two shows. I have as many toys as I could get my hands on although they were hard to get.
@@archmage7813 Well we have a lot in the shop now as you can see! Stop in and add a few more to your collection! haha
@@toyfederation where is your shop? I'm also very selective of my toys. I collect the Moore collectables buffy toys.
These episodes have become my Saturday morning cartoons
Facts! Hahaha
Yup lol love it...but damn who's the hot black haired girl? 😂
Same here!
LOL! I said the same on the last vid. Totally agree!

The issue is, they don't "think." At least not often enough.
Yeah and it costs money to run that business the power bill alone is thousands a month.
Heartwarming to see Steve Buscemi buying Rick Rubin's collection 😂
so glad to see jack black donating theses toys to you for such a small price
No that’s Dan Harmon
I have a ton of Buffy in my collection! You have no idea how excited I got when I saw this! I wish I lived closer!
It was totally the girls stuff but she was to nervous so she had her dad take the lead! 😂😂😂😂
She wanted to cash out after completing the collection.
That series is almost 30 years old and she's not.
That's his wife
This made my Saturday morning. I have never been in a retail buy-swap situation, but I enjoy seeing some of the behind the sausage. I like how the deals always seem fair. Tough at times (hey, it’s retail), but fair

Nice to see someone come in to sell a collection who doesnt have sketch vibes
I loved the show. I used to have a few of the 12 inch figures. This is a pretty epic collection for any hardcore fan.
My wife just told me the first piece she ever processed at Sideshow was a Buffy piece back in 2004. She is loving this episode!
Awesome collection ❤ Buff/Angel fan here.. I'm pretty sure that was her collection that's why she has last say on the answer 😎👍
If the Diamond Select Library Playset is in that collection, that's an easy $600 all day long just by itself.
I cannot believe I missed this episode out of ALL of them. Sincerely the spooky girl that comes in like once a week for spike figures 🤣
Love your videos! They have a genuine/ not forced feel to them like others. Just you in your element. Keep up the great work!!
That's what we were hoping for.
I thought the art was a Trouble Bubble concept at first! Pretty cool. Not a huge Buffy fan but still happy for the new episode. Thanks dudes!
Can't promise you'll always like the toys in the episode!
@@toyfederation Definitely ok with that! I know you're busy pumping out premium content - shorts during the week highlighting a favourite collectible toy in the shop would be super cool!

I thought for a second she was wearing fangs.
Stumbled upon this and subbed. LOVE this all. Cant wait to watch more vids
Thank you so much! Glad you're here!
Hey guys! I had a few of these 4 inch Buffy figs way back in maybe 2000! MAC were great then! Great buy! Great video!

Broke the 10K mark.
Buffy is a childhood favorite of mine so it was nice to see all these toys
Yep. Broke it almost a week ago now!
Just came from a estate sale and picked up some star wars figures and a poster of Buffy and Angel together for my wife. That was her pick for when we watched something together.

Good deal. Real fair offer. Slow sales on stuff like that
He really was the only person we sold Buffy to 🤣
Does no one on youtube understand wholesaling? If you think the price is low... then consider the fact that finding retail buyers is often difficult, involves potential negotiation, shipping and other costs aside from the time and physical effort.
Not the “Buffy paraphernalia” !!! 😂😂

Those Buffy figures all took a huge nose dive!! Hopefully you didn’t get stuck with them!
That Cordelia with the sword unopened only sells for about $100 max on eBay and about 12 of them have sold this year alone. Opened, with no sword, maybe $60. Just because it's "rare" doesn't mean it's valuable.
Honestly...such a great tv show (Buffy). Im in California and would dump all my wrestling figures for that buffy set.
The guy kept calling them figurines lol 😂😂😂😂
This is a great show. Thank you.
No, thank you!
