Power Rangers collectable cards, should i sell?

[ccrabee-mack]

i have a few series of power rangers cards from early 90's, i dont think they are worth terribly much and wouldnt be in mint condition, but they are wasting space at my house and id like to get rid of them, is there any point selling collectable cards these days? ive seen power ranger cards for sale individually on ebay but they probably sit for a long time, im thinking id like to offload them in one bulk lot, i have hundreds of them, hundreds of spares, and pieces of film from the movie that may intertest a collector if any exist today. any suggestons?

I have no knowledge about these trading cards (nor any trading cards really) but have sold cards often enough as they can come with the bulk lots of ephemera I sometimes buy.

Until someone with specialist knowledge comes along, perhaps I can offer a few hints.

There will probably be some web sites that may help you decide whether any of your cards fall into the rare / desirable category; like

Then condition, condition, condition. With any common collectable, condition is paramount. Take a look at SOLD eBay items (not for sale) and see whether any of the bulk lots look like they would be in similar condition to yours. Most of the sold Used  cards seem to be described as in Excellent or Near Mint condition. Are yours in sets / packs or plastic sleeves?  If selling I would just confine yourself to Australia - there are so very many available for sale world wide that unless you have some super-rarity, overseas buyers would not be interested in paying the extra for postage.

Personally with common collectables I always try to sell in bulk, keeping the postage as low as possible. It is up to you to decide whether the effort of selling them is worth what may be a smallish return. Anyway good luck.

thanks! yes most are in sleeves, probably class them as very good condition, now i just need to be bothered to pull them out and photograph them!
