I just bought a beautiful PSA 5 33 Ruth from Huggins and Scott (they described it perfectly to their credit) under SMR with the premium which rarely ever happens on ebay. The 33 Goudey market and The Batter-Ups are very soft right now and giving them to an auction house,especially in bulk lots will not maximize your dollars. They will probably just end up in some dealer's inventory

I think Ebay charges about 9% in selling fees, which is not much less than consigning, particularly if you negotiate down. Also, on Ebay, unless you have a good selling history and noted DSRs, you may not attract a good set of bidders. I do not think Ebay is the best avenue here unless you are already a Power Seller. I would recommend consignment.
