Reading horror stories just reenforces for me that preforming the occasional mass-dumping/purge of a big lot of figures to my local comic/collectibles shop just might be the lesser of a half-dozen evils when choosing how to sell. Yes, they will resell so I don't get as much. But I do free up space immediately, I don't wait for months or longer while things slowly trickle out, I don't run to the PO, I don't deal with flakes and scammers. If I have a high-ticket, highly desirable thing to let go of, I'll sell that individually, but that's the kind of stuff I usually hang on to. My big lots that I bring to my LCS are typically made up of common stuff that I'm happy to have gone. With a couple extra bucks in my pocket.
