Are you saying you won all of those magnificent sets in a competition and they've not been played with much? :o They are generally very hard to find in boxed, complete condition. Especially in the UK.

If you want to sell the sets, then I would suggest eBay. If you include lots of clear photos in your decription, then you will get a very decent price. How much exactly is anyone's guess. Did you try searching through completed items, worldwide, using the Playmobil set number to see how much similar condition sets have sold for in the past month?

Members here do trade/swap figures and sets from time to time, but only once they are well established. The admin can not take responsibility if a trade falls through, so all transactions of this type are taken at the members' risk.
