That is a go to site for pricing.  I have bought a bunch of random replacement pieces from the site for reasonable prices.  The only thing is to try to get a pretty big list together to buy for pieces since even minimum USPS shipping is over $5.  You can buy a replacement piece for pennies, but then have to pay shipping.  I haven't tried selling anything through bricklink.  When I was pricing items based on past email sales, I would get several people that would state the price on bricklink is x, so that is what I use now to price my sets.  Ebay and FB probably have a much wider audience, but bricklink might not be a bad second option.  I'm not sure what it takes to set up a shop, or if they take a cut like ebay, but you may want to check them out.

If you aren't in any particular rush besides having a bunch of stuff taking up space in your house, I would play the long game.  We do have high inflation at this point, so it may not be the best time to sell.  I'm getting random hits on my stuff, but have only made two or three sales in the past few months.  Just hang in there, and you can get the value out of it.

It is utterly insane they wouldn't just give the second sister a figure for free.  That was an actually smart ask on her part because I think we all now how impossible finding figures in the wild can be.  The whole objectifying woman angle seems very odd, but not out of place for Disney.  Oola and Slave Leia are easy ones to target for that.  A couple of background characters, that are seen for a few seconds, and are fully clothed, and had zero background info on them when the movie was released?  That seems rather odd to label them as being objectified.

At that price I’m down for one more set of Tusken Raiders.

I think someone mentioned it before, but have you tried Bricklink?  I was on there a lot when my kids were into Lego.

Thanks guys, great input again. Yeah, one of these guys is def a reseller, I checked out his Instagram account. The thing is, I don’t see any benefit to me from doing that. I price all my stuff based on the current market values, eBay takes 15% and shipping is usually around $10 to most places. So unless these dudes are willing to pay 90% of the market value, which I highly doubt, it just isn’t worth my while financially.

Ebay's default position is to screw the seller, regardless of how obvious a scam a buyer is running.  Paypal can be a bit better with protection.  As a seller, while this is a bit dishonest, if you can get someone to send money friends and family, then they have no recourse with Paypal.  That is an obvious red flag to any legitimate buyer.  Avoid anyone who asks for Zelle, it is the scammers payment of choice.  I have had countless inquiries that end up with "I'm busy but my brother/husband/cousin will pick it up.  Do you take Zelle?".  Meanwhile, the FB account they have stolen is from somewhere in Europe when my listing is clearly from the US.

Really FB marketplace isn't really any different than someone asking to purchase your ebay listing outside of ebay.  However, many times these people than they should get a 50% discount for "saving you the ebay fees".
