I am not sure about the European smurf market, but the US market seems to be dead for smurfs right now..at least on ebay. This is good for people like me who buy them as I have gotten a lot of good deals this past year on smurfs that I never thought I would own one day. It seems a lot of people are getting rid of their old collections at the moment.
If I was thinking about selling my collection I'd be worried as I don't think I would get half of what I spent or what it is worth. This is why I advise anybody who thinks about selling to wait it out for one or more years until the economy is better again. Of course, if you need to sell them because you need the money you can't wait that long
I have a few doubles right now that I want to sell, but I am very slow in getting them out and sorted because I don't think I will get for them what I would have gotten for them two years ago. When I sell them it will be because I need the space, knowing full well, that I will not get for them what they are worth.
