<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 1485171, member: 13307&quot;]My two cents from a few years of buying/selling coins:</p><p><br /></p><p>I have only taken coins to sell to a B&amp;M when I absolutely needed the money the next day to pay a bill.&nbsp; This is even at a local coin shop that I have worked, whose owners I consider friends.&nbsp; There have been many good explanations before mine of why they offer the prices they do...they gotta make a living, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have sold a few thousand coins and coin lots on eBay.&nbsp; Don&#039;t sell during the summer months, ever, because people are on vacation and realized prices are usually pretty low.&nbsp; Plus, the aforementioned reasons that the Bay is stacked heavily against you...but it can work if you group your items right and have decent photography skills.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have sold a few thousand coins and coin lots on Craigslist.&nbsp; If you can learn to weed out the crazies and lowballers, this too can work.&nbsp; Good advice has been given already for this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been to a few auctions with my auctioneer friend - and I wonder if this may be a median option for you that may work?&nbsp; Sometimes coins go for a crazy amount...normal sets that I see in a B&amp;M coin shop for $20 going for $45, CC Morgan dollars going for 2x their BV...etc.&nbsp; I think with good advertising, this may be an option for you.&nbsp; I might give a couple of your local auctioneers a call and see what they think - chances are, they&#039;ll be able to tell you if there is a heavy demand for what you&#039;ve got to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I&#039;ve had some decent luck selling items here on CT - just thought I&#039;d give them a nod - it&#039;s free, if you do PayPal gift there aren&#039;t fees there, and you might be able to group your collections and get more than the B&amp;M offered you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
