[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1562107, member: 37498"]Prime Mover's assessment is pretty accurate. I wouldn't say craigslist is the 2nd worst option, but I suppose much depends on where you live and what kind of experiences you've had. For my own selfish interests, I'd say put them up for sale here. ;) If you're dealing with well established members, you could probably accept PayPal gift, which doesn't charge any fees. For less established members, have them foot the bill for using normal PayPal, which at least offers some limited recourse for you in the event someone tries to scam you. Another option is to let people in your network of friends and family know you have some silver coins that you are going to sell, but are letting them have first dibs. ETA: If you sell them to someone where you have to ship them, don't buy the insurance from USPS. I've never had to file a claim for coins, but I recently learned that while they're more than happy to sell you insurance on them, even if you declare them as silver coins, their insurance will not cover them if they're lost or stolen in transit. One of these days when I have the time, I'll check out UPS and FedEx to see if their insurance covers them. Even if it does, I'll still probably ship through USPS because it's hard to beat the price of the flat rate boxes.[/QUOTE]
