<p>[QUOTE="Aksully, post: 4908307, member: 113152"]I agree with Joshua here. I'm about 95% finished selling my family collection due to age, health issues, and no relatives that I'd care to leave it to. I started back in March and should be done by November. I looked at recent sold/completed sales for the items I sell and note that. Then looked at similar current items. Then I used the two points to set my starting price that is always lower than current offerings. And I offer free shipping. 250+ sales later I am very happy with my returns. And just as important to me, the people are very satisfied with accurate descriptions, next day free shipping, and great communication. I contact each new winner explaining how I ship. Once I see tracking I let them know that. And I follow the progress of each order to watch for postal issues and let them know immediately if there is a holdup along the way. So these are the steps I take and it has worked well for me and for folks that have bought from me. Price guides I see on NGC & PCGS, Greysheet etc were less useful to me as I wasn't selling rare coins. I decided I would let the "marketplace" determine the worth and just go from there. I also found that selling on ebay was the same in terms of expenses vs selling to local dealers. Good luck in your Selling Journey Airborne![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
