I have several boxes of McDonald’s toys, most in plastic.
I’m wondering how those selling them here find out what price to sell them for?
Thanks
Liz

Check other selling places like ebay. That will tell you about some of them.

Checking out the link posted by loristhisandthat. Under ways to sell your collection, it lists Bonanzle..so I guess you’re in the right place :)

Looks like I may be coming to this rather late. You have many good responses. I’ve sold some of these items from time to time. I typically google what it is I have available and it’s amazing how many sites I can find. Loristhisandthat has given you a great place to start.

I group them by their movie and sell them as a set. Sometimes I sell them as cake toppers. They do sell well whether or not they are open. There are buyers for everything.

I would just check multiple selling venues and google shopping. I always try to price any of my items as the lowest via google shopping, including shipping (sometimes that takes a bit of extra research). Buyers can sort by lowest. I also try to price close to what other sellers here have – so it’s a constant balancing act (less than elsewhere, not much less than other Bonanzlers…). It really depends on how many of the item is out there.

There are some serious collectors of McDonald’s happy meal toys. Just like the old Cracker Jacks toys.
Do a Google Shopping search on your individual items.
Good luck!

I do sell these. Overall, there isn’t much money to be made on them. I do check Google shopping and sometimes on eBay for pricing.
When I come to one that has way too many already listed online, I put it aside. The market is saturated for that item and its not worth the time listing it.
I usually list the ones that have only a few competitors already selling them. And in those cases, I try price mine attractively.
The ones I don’t list because there are too many of them online, I donate to Goodwill.

Check out www.joearmory.com. He specializes in collectible toys. Used to have lots of the fast food toys. I don’t know if he still does but he’s very knowledgeable.

I have sold a few throughout the years. Otherwise, I put them all in a box – they make great Halloween trick-or-treat giveaways. Some I donate to daycares or churches.

I didn’t know they had a value….for years, I gave them away to Doctors and Veterinarians offices to keep children occupied. We rarely even eat fast food anymore, and no more happy meals. Kids are too big now.

Yeah like most of the other folk—I’d check other online sites [feebay, of course being one…] and do a google shopping search to arrive in the ballpark for a price…then start on the high side—wait a while and reduce the price a little bit at a time-then, raise the price back up again to where you began—I’ve done that and I got more buys when the stuff was priced up. Go figure! So, a word to the bonz people—always bargain with me…I’ll save you guys some $$$

I purchased a Fast Food Guide Price List Book. They have all of the major fast foods listed.

I research my products in various places (first e-bay), amazon, then the around 10 places on the web.
Sometimes I go to a friend that is a Antique Dealer
It all depends on the merchandise.
Sometimes I will post a pic a an Auction House to see what they think it’s worth. All you have to do is e-mail a reputable Auction House in your area.
I ask certain people on Bonz who deal in the same merchandise.
Hope this helps some.

There is a club called Mcdonald’s Collectors Club founded by Ken and Jenny Brady of Cleveland. The McDonald’s Collectors Club is an organization that has about 350 members and holds annual conventions to sell and swap toys.
