How do you find what things sold for on Ebay? 

Seem to have found a treasure in the attic.

Thank you

Go to Seller Hub select Research and you can look up sold prices for up to 3 years.

Thank you, seems our figures we found are worth upward of £40-50 each!

Or for recent sales just do a search for the item then on left hand margin tick the ‘completed’ option, that shows all the ended items sold and unsold.

Thank you, one came up when I listed and then I couldn't find it again. But that one was £400 for a set similar to ours just different figures. 

Ebay is much more exciting when you have something special on!

Different figures is the key there.  Mums collects Coalport ladies but really picky on the ones she likes.

Whilst you can get the larger sizes from just £20 sometimes, a couple of them are really collectible for some

reason and can fetch well over £100 each.

Some years back I was at a Saturday Market and a guy had a stall selling the small ones for £5 and the larger ones for £60.
I bought a load and he even gave me a discount.  All boxed all seemed to be perfect not seconds, he only sold ornaments
for a couple of weeks before moving onto other items so much have been a job lot from somewhere.

Do you have the boxes also?  Sometimes the box can be worth just as much if not more than the ornament.

These are 1980's toy figures, not ornaments. I don't even recall them being that popular when I was younger.

I find completed listings useful, not only for sold prices but to see what also doesn’t sell. I look at completed both sold and unsold to set my prices when I list. Also if I have an item that sometimes sells and sometimes doesn’t, I look at listing to see what the successful seller  has done that the unsuccessful seller didn’t.

Also be aware that some " highly sought after" toy figures have now become worth counterfeiting.
