<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Good Cents, post: 3332387, member: 100720&quot;]I&#039;ve sold things on eBay and the costs are very high - between the eBay commission (at the time it was 9%, not sure what it is now) and the Paypal commission (at the time it was 3% + $0.30) and the shipping costs (which are going up in price today!), I not only did not break even, I lost money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there&#039;s the hassle and your time. Can&#039;t put a price tag on that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe find a dealer in your area, call him, email him pics and ask him what he&#039;s willing to pay for the lot. You save on shipping costs and eBay &amp; Paypal commissions.</p><p><br /></p><p>As others have said, do an eBay search for these specific items, then scroll down to the bottom of the categories on the left and look for the heading &quot;Show only&quot; and click on the box for &quot;Sold items.&quot; Then on top you can sort by price.</p><p><br /></p><p>(If you want to shock yourself you can click the box for &quot;Completed Listings&quot; and all those in red are those that didn&#039;t sell, those in green sold. There will be lots of red.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Do the math to see how much you would make on eBay before going through with listing them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another idea is to list them on Craigslist (again, first do a search to see if they are bought/sold in your area). For safety, always meet in a busy public place when selling on Craigslist.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m new to CoinTalk so I don&#039;t know if anyone buys or sells anything here, but, maybe that&#039;s another avenue to explore. </p><p><br /></p><p>eBay and Paypal charge so much and retail shipping prices for packages have gone up so much that you have to expect to walk away with 50% of what your sale price is IF YOU&#039;RE LUCKY! eBay sucks. eBay works for large volume sellers who get low commission fees because they sell so much. I wish there were a more cost effective platform for us little guys. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
