<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 1446617, member: 3726&quot;]Here is from my experience:</p><p>(1) If you sell to the local dealer.&nbsp; This gets you money the quickest, but also results in a bigger loss. I would call this last resort.</p><p>(2) Consign the coins to a dealer.&nbsp; Several dealers do this.&nbsp; This can take time to move the inventory - patience is a key.&nbsp; Results in a smaller loss or no loss at all depending on the coin, what you paid and the value.</p><p>(3) Sell on something like heritage.&nbsp; Probably better for the rarer or high grade stuff - what I have on consignment at long beach will only cost me 5%.&nbsp; But it takes them 45 days to cut the check.&nbsp; Not as long term as number 2 and from the way I figure it will result in the same small loss percentage as 2.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the last way to sell is on ebay - I don&#039;t like this option, but it works for others.&nbsp; The reason I don&#039;t like it is - can you handle the loss of shipping or dealing with bad buyers?&nbsp; For me the time was not worth the risk.&nbsp; I have some coins on consignment that might end up there.&nbsp; I have almost completely thinned my collection down to the &quot;what I will collect&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Selling is a real and good experience to help you understand collecting. If you go back several years you will find a thread from Mark Feld talking about collecting.&nbsp; One of the steps was selling - I disagreed.&nbsp; Now at this time I can say I completely agree with Mark Feld&#039;s post.&nbsp; I wish you good luck on selling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
