<p>[QUOTE="MadMartigan, post: 1961655, member: 58925"]Problem with selling an entire set is finding the right buyer for it. Most buyers are probably not going to be interested in the entire set and will be looking just to grab a few coins out of it. The exceptions I see is if its a low grade example set then you might be better off selling the entire set as buyers won't be looking to cherry pick certain coins and you might see more for the set or if you do find that buyer who just wants a complete set without having to take the time or energy to put one together.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you sell it to a dealer they are going to break it up most likely and are going to want a low price on it knowing they will have to sell it over time and individually. There is a complete 7070 on ebay with the gold page that I have had in my watch page for 6 months now, he does it as a 30 day auction and when it ends he just relists it over and over I think hes a little high priced on the set but he just can't seem to sell it as an entire set. </p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/230751768916?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/230751768916?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/230751768916?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>For the most part you are better off piecemealing the set out unless you can find the right buyer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
