June 10, 201312 yr Hi, obviously I'm new to this site. I have some complete, used, sets that I am considering selling and I was wondering if I would be better off selling them assembled or disassembled. The sets are very clean and showing them assembled really highlights it. Thanks in advance for your help.
June 10, 201312 yr I don't really understand. If you have built it, there would be no sense taking it apart and taking pictures. Are you talking about how to ship them?
June 10, 201312 yr Author Sorry I wasn't clear. I don't know if buyers of used sets would rather have them assembled or disassembled when they receive them. I'm new to this.
June 10, 201312 yr Both. I have sold assembled and unassembled. It's best to take the picture assembled and then decide if you want to ship it assembled or not. Most of the time I state that the set will be disassembled when shipped.
June 10, 201312 yr Well, it would be cheaper to ship disassembled, and I think that buyers expect to recieve sets this way.
June 11, 201312 yr I always take a pic of the actual set I'm selling assembled, the take it apart for posting as shipping is cheaper that way. Usually buyers want to have the building experience for themselves as well.
June 11, 201312 yr Local pickup, a la Craigslist---keep intact so buyer can see that it's all there. Ebay and others, take a pic showing it's assembled, ship disassembled.
