I have been pondering on selling methods for CMF's for quite a while. I've seen it done quite a few ways. As an open set of 16, a sealed but felt set of 16, single blind packs, single open minifigs, incomplete sets of the 16, etc.
Is there a better method out of these? Is there a method I didn't touch on?

In any event, a good condition, sealed, identified pack will likely get you the best $. That is assuming you can find packs that are not dog-eared or otherwise mangled.
It might be better to sell a popular one and a less popular one for $5 than sell a popular one for $3.50 and not be able to sell the less popular one. Same argument scales up to a set.
If you sell the figures in a set individually, then it can be up to 16x more work which needs to be taken into account.
Of course, a non-popular one sealed will net more if it is unidentified, as it might be a popular one - you never know until it is identified. You will see many auctions on ebay where there are 10 "random" / blind packs. The rose tinted view will be that they are random packs. There might even be Mr Gold. The more cynical view will be that they are all mechanics and skydivers as they have been felt up, with maybe one other figure thrown in to make it look like they were not cherry picked. Especially if the seller sells open figures, chances are the sealed ones are the dogs, and not random.
