Those are good considerations.

I've bought and sold collections. If you have a hankering to buy and resell a collection, there's
nothing wrong with dropping $1,000 on a big lot. I would start with one of the reputable auctions,
so you are confident with the material. If you treat it as an experiment, the worst that will happen is
you will lose a few bucks and learn how the process works. If the lot contains a variety of interesting
stuff, you get to enjoy looking at in person even if you don't keep it.

Having followed all the big auctions, there are decent deals to be had and also lots that are way overvalued.
So I wouldn't throw a dart.
