Downsizing some of my world-class Spirit Halloween "collection"

Hello! Many of you know me. I am also Restless Acres on the Spirit Halloween wiki (my Spirit Halloween prop collection is listed on my bio there; check it out, I'd be curious if someone out there has more. Definitely possible, but I did not discover Spirit until 2015). I have what I think is one of the great Spirit Halloween animatronic/prop collections there is. I am downsizing it as I am 1) irked at my storage facility for raising their prices on me twice in seven months, to a ridiculous amount, 2) not quite as Halloween crazy as i used to be, and 3) would like to add to my kids' college funds. I am probably not selling the cream of my collection, but I will still be selling lots of Spirit (and non-Spirit Tekky, Morbid, Home Depot props, etc.) props, some rare or rare-ish. I am mostly selling on eBay, due to its ease and wide-audience, but can sell via other channels, particularly on repeat transactions.

Below is a sample eBay listing of mine. If you want to see what else I am selling just click on Sellers Other Items (or whatever the term is). I will be listing more stuff right up to mid-October or so. I am starting with boxes of at least microwave size (though a few are smaller as they were easier to hand, and stuff I knew would be going) but will hopefully be getting to smaller stuff closer to Halloween.

Pop-Up Werewolf - Spirit Halloween retired prop. 2014. | eBay

Gemmy lifesizes aside (which I never used to be into), I probably have a majority of desirable animatronics from about 2009 to 2018, though I have many earlier and later. I once did a summary by year and for years like 2010-2015 I had about 25 half-size or larger props/animatronics for each year. Again, I am not selling the ones I love the most, but if there is something specific you are looking for, either post here or PM me. I have been a member here for 6 or 7 years, and have a significant presence both here, on the Spirit Halloween Wiki, and Facebook Spirit Halloween groups. Plenty of people know me from all three channels and have transacted with me over the years.

Thanks for reading!

How much for caged beast and crated mummy?
Caged Beast sold. Crated Mummy I have listed for $250 plus shipping on eBay. In general I offer 10% off eBay prices plus actual shipping, for a direct sale. Would also consider offers. Ebay offers deals on shipping, which is why I only discount 10% from eBay price.
Thanks for your interest!

Dragged two more pallets out of storage today. Only remembered to photograph one. Still got a basement full of stuff to sell, but have got the storage unit down to 49 boxes/props. Unfortunately they skew large. I think my goal is to sell around 100 props this season. Not all life-sized props, but mostly.

He's actually not for sale. I only have one of him. Just getting him out of the storage unit. The 14" Spirit Balls, while largish, don't take up a lot of space, won't return a lot of money, and I like having a decent collection of them. I am selling a skull one currently (no box) and will be selling a Brain Monster one. I have two of each.

Thought I'd quick ask if Bloody Bag of Jokes is for sale and if so, what price range are you looking for?
Any response is fabulous, just wanted to check! : )
I don't think I'm selling him. He is one of the originals, but the new one is perhaps identical (not sure) and I assume have destroyed the market, and part of this exercise is to make money, so im not selling things like this or stuff that are still for sale (Dakhanavar, doghouse dog). Plus its a cool prop and no assembly required.

Any clown props for sale
I don't have any for sale yet. I like clowns, but generally don't display as most people do not like them. I think I have a lot of the classic Spirit clowns from early to mid teens (all seven of the 2013 Clown Train for starters [just realized I had them all], Uncle Charlie, Zombie Clown). Maybe as we get closer to Halloween I'll be selling some. We'll see.

I do have a very rare Dancing Clown I would sell, but unfortunately he stopped working. I also had to repair his shoulder frame as it was/is really falling apart/brittle. I would sell the two clown stakes from a couple of years ago. Stabbo and Sitting Clown Demon for the right price. A wiggler clown baby.

Also I think you'll want to hold onto him even more now. He is gone from spirit, too! So the value will probz go higher!

Keep posting pics I have never seen some of these older props and man they look so cool
I'm glad you like! You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I have. And I didn't even discover Spirit or really start buying props until 2015. But then I went nuts for a few years. Divorce therapy.

You know, I don't even know where Stabbo is. I know he is in my (finished) basement, but...I have so much stuff down there that it has taken me half an hour sometimes to find stuff to ship that i sold on eBay.
