Tom Boblitta REALLY large lot (and some more) through the largest auction house around, I agree with Barry. Lotting your items is REALLY huge in maximizing the amount of money you'll get. The Big/Biggest houses want to lot HUGE lots because they can then say that the average lot price in their auction is X thousand dollars. If you have something that would be well-suited to be sold individually, someone like Barry or 19th Century Only or one of the smaller auction houses would be a better fit as they will split up lots and not group everything in a single or couple of lots. Obviously, the larger a lot goes (dollar wise), the more people are excluded from the bidding price.....just simple mathematics. Good luck....always remember that ebay has reasonable fees--much lower than most auction houses and you can set your own reserves--few auction houses will let you set a reserve on an auction. You might test the waters out there too.........
