What's the best way to sell Dark Forest - Forestman 1?
At $60.60, this figure is worth listing individually on BrickLink where LEGO buyers specifically search by ID. Take clear photos showing all sides and accessories. BrickLink listings at or slightly below the 6-month average tend to sell within a week or two. eBay is a good secondary option if you want a wider audience, but expect slightly lower prices after fees.
Does condition matter for Dark Forest - Forestman 1?
At $60.60 average, yes. Buyers at this price point expect a complete figure with all accessories, no major scratches on printed elements, and tight joints. For a figure from 1996, also check for yellowing on white or light gray parts — UV exposure over time causes discoloration that significantly impacts value. If you have the figure new/sealed (averaging $143.32), keep it protected — the premium for mint condition is significant.
