    Why not try selling them in batches, try one test batch first and see if there are any takers?

    I thought that but some sell really well. Are they DAM trolls, or Russ?

    i just had a look at completed ones on ebay, and looks like i would be lucky to get £1 per troll. mine are mostly medium (cost approx £5 each) and large (cost approx £10-£15 each) so i think i will hold on to them for now

    This is one of the Mego figures I was talking about earlier:

    Nice money of you can drop on them at carboots. Ive told this tale before, but for the benefit of those who missed it lol...

    I bought a boxed Mego Zorro from a charity shop for £10, I knew nothing of mego at the time but I figured I may get £20 back. As soon as I listed him I was getting offers to BIN for £200. In shock I did a bit of research and found out that some Mego figures were UK only releases, of which zorro was one. In the end he made either £800 or £900 (cant recall which!) and went to the Mego Museum in New York, where he still lives today. This is my Zorro here:

    Not half as happy as the guy who bought him, apparently he had been looking for him for years :D
