So for the figures you can find in any case nen buyer.
The are also still all in OVP.
But on ebay classifieds go under.
Sell them on ebay. And individually. With the hint in every ad, that you sell everything as a set if potential buyers are interested.
Very important: Take at least 6 good pictures of each product
The best is to photograph all sides of the box where text is written.
The figure also from all sides.
Pictures must have good quality.
Look at ebay what comparable figures have brought in previous auctions.
To do this, you have to set the checkmark in the menu on the left before entering the search term "sold/finished".
Then you have ne approximate price orientation.
What also works, but is a bit risky, is if you put the figures as an auction for 1€.
So you give the buyers a certain "power" to determine the price.
It's a psychological effect
Risky therefore, if there are only a few prospective buyers, that the figure is sold too cheaply.
But it can also occur the exact opposite if eg several bidders "fight" for it and drive up the price.
Therefore, test this as a 1€ Autkion first with two three figures and see how the interest is so.

Thanks for your ideas. On Ebay I have that in there too. There is also a 90% accurate list of what I sell everything. You are welcome to browse. You can make new auctions to handle. Link to auction if allowed: -- Link to Ebay ad has been removed --

Edit from Julian: We have to remove the link to the ad, but you are welcome to share the offer via Communicator.

It's nice that you responded to my post here. I mean it like this: if you have debts and play then that is borrowed money. Because every "normal ticking" person first settles his debts before he gets the idea to carry his money into a casino. I tell you times what from my life. I will be 53 years old tomorrow and of the gamblers of the first hours, that is, those with whom I hung out 35 years ago in the arcade, hardly anyone is still alive. Died by suicide, alcoholism or accident under dubious circumstances. Of the few that are left, each has health problems --- heart attack, sugar, stroke, etc. The only one doing relatively well is me, for whatever reason. Probably because I have always had the great luck to win so much with my last bucks that I could just pay for everything, also I have always worked and was so under social control
Please don't take the problem too lightly, you are in the swamp up to your upper lip and can just breathe through your nose. I hope that you can sell the figures well and that maybe someone here has a good job for you, but with a financial "zeroing" it is not done. The addiction persists and that must be fought

Good luck and all the best.

Hello Bernd (?)


Thank you for your words. Yes. I see it that way too. And I also see it coming. After all, I have a warning example with my deceased father. And, that I am not blithely plundering the child support account as well should show that I am fighting against it. One problem of my kind is the focus that I have as an autistic person. If I am in one focus, for example playing, writing, reading, then nothing else can excite me for weeks or months. Unless it is replaced. Since I worked this out with my therapist during my depression therapy, it helps me with many problems now. If I feel sick, I do something that focuses me. It used to be like that with soccer. PC games. Buying and selling. Collecting various things. Now, unfortunately, it has been the casino. And so I'm hoping for something that will bring me into a different focus. It's hard to describe. It's always easier verbally. Anyway, in short with a simple and stupid example: If someone would ask me, who would like to put his casino life on video and e.g. edited on YT, or get evaluated, then the focus would be changed abruptly. Only unfortunately, there is currently no new trigger. And so I continue to hang in the gamble. So I also currently try to leave my stats in the comments on games. This helps me a lot not to just hit autoplay. Instead, I now click on a spin every few minutes, because the other time I'm busy with the Excel spreadsheet, stats and formulas. New focus just. Better would be as said (currently) only to analyze foreign players. Then I can not play myself for the statistics. As I said. It is complicated. And 99% of the people don't understand this tick. Simply changing something or therapy is not so easy with my autism. The head is so focused that it lets all information rush through as optionless

Addendum: To a large extent, it is also the focus that makes for gaming. What I mean by that is that I could also gamble with other people's money and give all the wins to them. It's all about focus, which determines the mathematical possibility of a win. Unfortunately, this doesn't work with play money. I have already tried. But no focus has materialized. It seems to lack the appeal of being able to present something at the end.

As stupid as it sounds but for you would actually be the best a kind of addiction shift if a therapy is not so easily possible

I know many people who were addicted to games and I once invited these people with me to play a round of World of Warcraft and what can I say the people are now the biggest WOW addicts on the planet because this game always gives you employment and success

Another colleague of mine studies psychology and said that I have caused a kind of addiction shift in people and they are now addicted to this game but at least they no longer gamble money because they have exchanged the addiction and can continue to maintain their lives

This would not be advisable to exchange your problems with the addiction with another addiction but it would be in this case the lesser damage

And since this game is suitable for all ages (have recently learned a 60 year old helpless man in the forum of the game quasi) why not

That is already what I am doing. That is, shifting the focus. But not every hobby triggers this urge and that's why I'm currently gambling

PS: 8 years Knubbell on Kargath. Master Wizard of His Majesty!!! After the Pandaren I had no more desire.

I really like gamble1's idea and think it's the most promising solution
If you have already discarded WoW, how about a game like ARK or The Forest? Costs are low, no subscription and you can sink there easily 2000+ hours of play in it If you have a buddy who plays along comes even bischen adventure feeling on - ARK I have e.g. 1000 hours in it and a lot of it with my son and we had a lot of fun (or have him regularly still)

For speaking I would suggest you offer this service directly on freelancer forums, alternatively also write directly to websites that are predestined for this content, but before I here the problem that your references may be insufficient.

With Gimp and DaVinci you can hardly earn money - professional areas rather rely on the Adobe product range.
But it also depends on how good you are with these programs. Someone with talent will achieve more professional results with GIMP than someone who has "only learned a few Youtube tutorials".

Nevertheless, a job as a media designer offers you the possibility to earn something - but I can't tell you how much that is.
But as a beginner I would for example Twitch, there you could create emotes, alerts or even whole themes at the beginning as well as prepare videos of streamers for Youtube. However, this would mean that you initially work for free to aerarbeiten you an appropriate portfolio. Quick money there is (as so often) unfortunately not here.

Data analytics and statistics may be fun, but without a degree you have almost no chance.

As far as your Debt situation is concerned, I can only advise you - try to pay it off first, everything else will only maneuver you into further bottlenecks.
And of course you will slide with further casino game rather further into the debts than that this liberating lucky strike comes.

so to the action figures and your modeling stuff I would also advise you to sell them individually
to sell them on ebay
or facebook sales groups that fit the genre of your figures that have some
part several thousand members there you will certainly find someone who pays good money for it.

what exactly are these things your ebay link is unfortunately deleted...for whatever reason
you can send me the link in a private message

i am also interested in modeling stuff especially tools and material
e.g. I need a polysterene cutter and transmitter. write but times what you have so

and the suggestion of gamble1 i also find not bad that at least does not cost thousands
of euros. why did you leave the model making again that is also a thing with which one is
details in kitbashing or scratch building. this can take you years or even decades
keep you busy for years or even decades...there are always great challenges and projects you can
and projects that you can take on and that challenge you !
