What the heck do I do with grandma's Hummels?

Question

My grandma died and left us all these Hummel figurines. I don't know what the heck to do with them. Can I make some money? How?

Answer 1

There may actually be a retail store near you that would like to buy them.  Try Ashley-Avery Craftsman, or other stores in the mall that sell all the little collectible figurines.  But first, check on e-Bay to see what they are going for.  Each one will have a different value, based on how many were made, the year made, and if they are now out of production.  Many are literally worth over $100.00 and on up.

Keep a few - ones that remind you of her, or ones that remind you of your own family.

Answer 2

Sell them on ebay. Check similar items to see what a good starting price would be.

Answer 3

Get them valued and sell them if you don't want them.  They are collectors items.  My granny had a few...  Dunno what happened to them in the end.  Some were quite sweet.  Not my kind of thing, though, so I'd either find them a good home with one of her like-minded friends, or sell them.

Answer 4

Ebay, Craigslist.org

Hummel collectioners websites
