Read the guideFree knowledge to help you spot what's worth money — and a team ready to turn it into cash.
Welcome to The Toy Showroom's resource hub: a free, no-strings knowledge base built for finders, resellers, and everyday people who want to know what's actually worth selling. Whether you're sourcing at yard sales or clearing out a closet, our guides help you recognize the good stuff before it slips by. And when you find it, remember — we'll buy it from you outright or sell it for you, so you never have to deal with the hassle yourself.
Toys and collectibles are our heart, but we handle far more — electronics, brand-name goods, vintage finds, estate items, and the kind of overlooked treasures people don't realize have real value. If you're not sure whether something is worth money, that's exactly what we're here for. Text us a photo and we'll tell you.
With an outright cash buyout, we make you an instant offer and pay you the same day — no waiting, no selling, done. With consignment, we sell your item for you across our channels and you collect a share of the proceeds. Buyout is fastest; consignment usually earns you more on the right items. We'll happily walk you through which makes sense for what you've got.
It's simple: when your item sells, you keep 60% of the net proceeds and we keep 40% for handling everything. That "everything" is the whole job — professional photography, listing, pricing, answering buyer questions, shipping, returns, and chargeback protection — across eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Poshmark, Depop, Mercari, Whatnot live sales, our weekly online auctions, and the Upland Toy Showroom floor.
Three easy ways: text us or upload a photo of your item for a quick assessment, bring your items by our Upland Toy Showroom in person, or reach out and we'll guide you from there. A clear photo is often all we need to give you a ballpark and tell you whether cash or consignment is the better path.
Not at all. The fastest first step is a text or a photo — you can get a sense of your item's value without leaving home. When you're ready, you're always welcome to visit our Upland showroom in the Inland Empire, but plenty of people start (and decide) entirely from their phone.
Selling it yourself means buyer questions, flakes, no-shows, lowballers, listings, photos, shipping, returns, and chargebacks. Let us handle all of it. Bring your items — or just text a photo — and get cash today or consign for top dollar.
Skip the listings, lowballers, flakes and shipping. Bring it to us — cash today, or consign it and earn 60% of the net while we do all the work.
