<p>[QUOTE="doug444, post: 1484632, member: 38849"]Sort of depends on where you live. If you live in a large metro area where there is an active CraigsList, I would offer ONE set a time, making it crystal clear that the coins are in a safety deposit box at the bank, that you will ONLY meet at the bank, and that payment must be in CASH, to be deposited immediately, with no refunds or bringbacks, etc. CraigsList gives you almost unlimited text and up to 8 pictures, I think; it is not ideal, but it's free, and a lot of collectors read it. You MUST protect your security, and you MUST ignore the many Chinese and Eastern Europe hackers who will try to get information on the most sincere-looking of pretenses.</p><p><br /></p><p>CraigsList is a real minefield for the amateur, but it will work if you are patient. And if it doesn't work, you have invested nothing but time. If you are more than 25 miles from a major metro area, it's probably not workable. You should also get a gmail address specifically for this venture, and get rid of it when you're through. I have sold a lot of coins on CraigsList; you can toplist every 48 hours. Just an idea. No one is better qualified to sell your coins than YOU.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
