<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ldhair, post: 26082029, member: 11540&quot;]I&#039;m sure many here know that I have been selling much of my collection as well. In my case I&#039;m saving the money to put back into just a few coins. I let my collection get out of hand and had to do something. These are a few things I learned over the past year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ebay works well but be ready for a lot of work. It takes time to create each listing and take all the images. You need great images to bring strong bids. Next you have to package and ship each coin. There will be those that don&#039;t pay and those that will return the coin for any reason they wish. Be sure to factor in all the fees, packaging and shipping charges. Be ready for coins to go missing and insure what is valuable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t list more than one of the same coin at one time. You don&#039;t want the listings to compete with each other. Spread them out to end on different days. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had to get away from Ebay. It became a full time job at the time in my life that I wanted to slow down and enjoy other things.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a big fan of Great Collections auctions. I just ship them the coins and they deal with everything and I get a check in the mail. I have saved a nice amount on fees. Coins already in the top TPG holders go straight to auction. They won&#039;t auction raw coins but they will send them to be graded (you pay for the service you select) and they go to auction after that. It&#039;s not a fast process. </p><p><br /></p><p>Raw coins are my problem. Too many that are not worthy of the grading fees. I need a better option but I&#039;m not seeing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
