advice on selling complete t206 set

[Archive]

Posted By: bill latzko

am considering selling my complete(minus big 4 with demmitt and Ohara in psa 3 and psa 2)set , all in psa 4 but am debating whether to break it piecemeal on ebay, or try as a set on ebay, or auction house(delayed return), or best way to find a private buyer. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated. It's the #18 set on the registry.

With PSA 4s I'd go one card at a time on ebay

I vote for selling them individually on ebay.





Mainly because you have some I'd be interested in

if all are graded, sell singles on ebay, would be my suggestion,also.

If you have the time, then go on ebay - that will maximize your bottom line; however, staying on top of the auctions and trips to the post office and sorting out all the orders is time consuming.

What is the "approximate" set value of something like that?

Why not just put on Ebay as a set with a very high minimum bid? You know roughly what they are going for, just add up all the prices. If someone wanted it, they would save a TON on shipping charges. Plus I believe it would only cost $5 or so on Ebay fees. Add another $30 for Gallery. No sale, no big deal.

I am getting ready to do the same with 600/622 N224's at a min bid of $3,500.

You would get more money selling them individually on eBay, but dealing with shipping and PO will be a pain. What about doing the other auction houses. You would have a better chance selling the set as a whole that route.

Way too many cards to sell individually. I recommend selling the set privately.

Using the latest auction prices for all the cards minus the big 4 in PSA 4. And keeping in mind these are all common backs, Pied, SC, OM, AB, EPDG and PB. the total value comes to....

$76,503.08

I sold my 1st T206 set (521 cards) intact....and, I broke up my 2nd set (520 cards).

I had a heck of a lot fun selling the set I broke up. And, it eased the pain.

Each time I took the money from selling these sets and bought more T206's so now I have an all-Piedmont
set (518 cards) and an all-Sovereign set (404 cards....need 6 more to be complete).

Might sound crazy, but it perpetuates the challenge....or better yet "the hunt".

BILL

My advice, having done both options, is BREAK-IT-UP....the sum of its parts is always greater than the whole.

I'm glad that you're only CONSIDERING.
I'm hoping that you don't sell them.
Certainly, I'll respect whatever you decide as you're one of our finest
206 collectors.
Still, hopin'

all the best

Bill,
I tried to send you an e-mail, but it bounced back. If you decide to sell them individually, I would be interested in about 20-25 that I need for upgrades. Drop me a line and I can give you more specifics. Good luck, whatever you decide to do with them.

bill, something to consider if you do split them up on ebay...

just state that you will only make 1 trip per week to the post office and that if payment isnt received before that particular day, then they buyer has to wait until the following week. it would give you time to package them all and force the buyer to pay you in a timely manner...

and to make things easier for you, maybe just list 50-100 per week, that would probably give you 25-40 buyers

I sold about 400 of my 520 on Net54 last April in order to finance my purchase of Lionel Carter's Eddie Plank in Mastro. I love listing cards on ebay, but that was a lot of cards to list. So, I used VCP.com to determine values of cards and then listed them in chunks, with group and individual prices, right here on the B/S/T thread. The chunks were based on grade, HOF, SL, variation, etc. I had a lot of fun doing it, and it gives me some measure of comfort knowing the collector to whom most of them went.

I'd start here on B/S/T and then move to ebay if the prices you want are not being accepted here.

Good luck!
