In the past I've sold a few things for higher prices when there was a popular movie tie in. Below are some movies coming out this summer that will probably be big hits. I thought it would be interesting to brainstorm ideas that we might find when out rummage saling this summer or things you already have in your inventory you can mark up! Of course vintage toys from these movies will be more valuable. What other things can we think of? I think it was last year or the year before I purchased Despicable Me Happy Meals from McDonalds and sold the Minion toy that came with it on ebay. There were several different versions. Plus I got to eat the Happy Meal :) Have you sold items that were movie tie ins? Tell us about it in the comments.
- Mad Max: Fury Road comes out May 15
- Jurassic World comes out June 12
- Minions comes out July 10
- Fantastic Four comes out August 7
Goggles Mad Max Fury Road Style
Hmm, that's a good idea! I need to think about trends in advance like this more.
ReplyDeleteHi Van. Maybe you have some dinosaurs that relate to Jurassic Park! I know you like dinosaurs.
DeleteGreat forward thinking! I have been hoarding all kinds of dinosaurs - different brands, different sizes - for some unknown reason. Maybe this summer will be the big dino breakout.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! You must have had a sense of things to come. I loved the Jurassic Park movies. Can't wait to see the new one. I'm sure the new generation of watchers is going to love them too and be wantin' some dinosaurs. Get um listed and set good prices :)
DeleteGenius!! Ooh I hope Mad Max helps hubby's steampunk sales. Hopefully there will be goggle wearing characters in the movie!
ReplyDeleteOMG Lorraine I didn't even think of your husband! Hopefully sales will boom this summer. You can watch the trailer at IMDB. It looks like it will be good.

Lorraine there are goggles :) I saw two kinds. The shape your husband sells but also the shape you would see on a swimmer/diver old school style. The big U shaped goggles.
DeleteTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are enjoying some popularity again, and I've been able to sell some of their vintage stuff because of it.
