If you don't think the 20% commission from an AH is tough (and it is), you really end up close to 15% with eBay plus you have all the listing and packing and risk.

I would use ebay with a "Buy It Now" price + Best Offer Option. That way you can scrutinize the price of each one. And prospective bidders will see all of the others you're offering... which could very well lead to selling multiples to many of the buyers.
Just don't price them too aggressively or be greedy... unless you want them to stagnate and sit there forever (like 90% of the stale merchandise on ebay). Getting your desired price here on the BST would be near-impossible. Going through an Auction House would be painful, as they will want to group them in lots together. And these things never sell for even close to full value that way. So that pretty much leaves ebay. Last edited by perezfan; 04-17-2017 at 05:09 PM. |

It's all relative
Collecting focus is great but I am personally not blessed with as much as I should have. If you enjoyed the pursuit and ownership while it lasted then don't beat yourself up for not being able to extract top dollar on the way out. My guess is these will do well overtime but maybe not as a bulk offload so close to your own purchase dates. Find enjoyment in selling them and enjoy the moment of clarity you have now that you know can part with them. If you are like me, it may not last!
I also like the idea of putting them aside for awhile if you can. I've found more than once I may be looking for items to purchase for a new project only to "find" some of them in my own "tagged for deaccession" bin

I hope this advice helps. You said you were narrowing your focus in collecting and I've noticed you've been selling/trading a lot on the bst. If I were you I would finalize your collecting focus in stone, asap and stick to it. Really think about it. You are impulsive and like a lot of stuff. That is your problem. Once you decide what that focus is, sell all the cheap stuff, and keep the best, research the price history and slowly sell them, using this money to fund new purchases but not introducing new money as I can tell you already have plenty of skin in the game
This is the advise I would give to myself if I were in your shoes. |
