Anyone have selling advice for Hummels and Lladro? See images
 

Good morning all

I’m not sure if anyone here might have some helpful advice regarding these hummels, Lladro and other figures that my parents and uncle left behind after they passed.

Any advice on how to determine value and where/how to sell?

I am doing my homework on this and thought Net54 collectors may have some other collector item knowledge!

Thanks all

I see one Hummel that’s called girl in apple tree. Depending on the version it can be a $1000 or $10 if lucky version. 98% of them are tuff to sell and I had to be the cheapest on EBay to move them and even at that it takes time. Good luck and take time to look them up. Pretty easy to find book prices but expect sell prices to be fraction of that. Market I’d flooded with common ones and not many people collect anymore. I’m sure you will be able to find good homes for them.

Tuff sell

I know this will sound totally crazy but ebay.com and google.com should offer up a wealth of information.

And why do you think that sounds totally crazy? Just curious

The best antique store in my town before COVID refused to take them on consignment. he couldn't move them. So just like every other opinion giver, these are a tough sell.

My mother collects milk glass, which is also a tough sell. When she passes I'm going to keep some sentimental pieces that I know are rare and she took pride in obtaining. Other than that I'll give them away to anyone who will take them.

My grandmother had a ton of these different popular 70s and 80s collectables and after looking, the best option I found was donation and then using it as a write-off at price guide values (which were a joke compared to actual sales).

It was a bigger pain to explain to my mom that the Hummel's, Lenox, assorted crystal, and whatever else she was told was billions in uncashed money by her mother; were now essentially worthless.

Since the standard deduction is so high now, your best option is likely to auction them as a lot (or lots of 5) with a local auctionhouse focused on estate liquidation.

Cool, thx for the advice…
