Default Smurf Selling Tips

The more info you provide with your sales message, the more likely you will be to get replies. Always reference the Schleich #'s of the Smurfs you are selling. You can use our ID Guide to find them:

https://mushroomvillage.com/smurfs-idguide.html

You should also be as accurate and honest as you can about the condition of the Smurfs:

- Collectors want to know if there are any "paint rubs" (places where the paint rubbed off, and you can see the "raw" color underneath - usually white, or whatever color the feet are on the bottom.)

- Are they "yellowed?" PVC can turn yellow with age, and collectors prefer pieces that have not. Exposure to smoke and excess handling can both contribute to yellowing. Sometimes a warm, soapy bath will brighten Smurfs if it's just dust and dirt, but if the raw PVC is yellowed, reversing that is near impossible (it can be done with "Remove-zit," a PVC cleaner that we sell, try searching the shop for "remove-zit")

- Is there anything else wrong? Please advise regarding missing pieces, cracked paint/PVC, lack of a box (if there should be one), non-original paint, etc.

GOOD LUCK!!
