[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 8479771, member: 36248"]"full liquidation within 4 years " = You have time on your side. Assuming you are remotely good with coin photography, I would list 20 coins per week on eBay and see how it goes. No need to rush, you don't need to suddenly do 500 listings. See what sells for full price and what doesn't. After the end of year 3 of listing these 20 per week, you would have listed about all the coins. Assuming 20 coins x 52 weeks, x 3 years = 3,120 listings. Take a few weeks off, and we're at 3,000 listings. Anything left at the 3.5 year mark, you dump all the unsold coins at a single dealer for 50% of the value and walk away in one go. This hybrid approach would seem to maximize your money, selling the best / easiest stuff for full value, without really stressing you out too much trying to list 3000 coins in one go. This approach also means you will only be mailing out say 5-10 packages a week, as opposed to suddenly getting bombed with sales and needing to manage 500 orders in a month.[/QUOTE]
