Sell retro toys, die cast and action figures in San Diego County
San Diego County garages and storage units hold a lot of toys from the eighties and nineties: tubs of loose figures, a case of Hot Wheels, and the occasional carded piece that never left its bubble.
DeKlutterNow is based in Oceanside, so North County is close, and we also visit San Diego, La Jolla, Chula Vista and El Cajon. Text a photo of the tub or shelf and we tell you whether it looks like a fit.
Short answer: text photos of your retro toys to (858) 247-2017. If it looks like a fit, we come to you in San Diego County, look at everything in person, and pay cash before leaving.
Common toy situations around San Diego
- Tubs of loose action figures from a childhood collection that are stored in a garage

What to text us for toys
- A photo of the whole tub, case or shelf
- Close ups of carded items, the underside of older cars, and the copyright stamp on a few figures
- Which accessories you still have, and any smoke odor or sun fading
What affects the value of retro toys
- Franchise and line, such as 80s cartoon lines and 90s action figures
- Carded or boxed versus loose figures
- Completeness of accessories and playsets
- Condition: paint wear, yellowing, and sun fading
- Sealed items and original packaging
Recent mass market toys, reproductions, and items with heavy smoke or mildew smell are usually not a fit.
We do not quote prices from a single photo. Final offers come after we look at the items in person.
