<p>[QUOTE="Mountaineer, post: 7807621, member: 112654"]Geezer - Is there ever a large coin show in New Orleans or Houston? If so find our what dealers are going and what they specialize in and call them to try to get them to come by your place to view and hopefully make an offer on your collection. You'll have to bait the offer though, be ready to tell them what you have, better items, maybe make a list of the good stuff that you could send them before they go to the show. When I used to collect stamps, I did this in DC even picking up the dealer at the airport and taking him to my apartment, it helped that I did previous deals with him. He made an offer which I considered while he was at the show. Ultimately, I didn't sell him the accumulation but it was a good eye opener on what my stuff would bring. I later sold it at auction in Chicago at Freemans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
