Currently it appears that eBay is the best sales outlet to be found for &quot;moderns&quot;, because others of like interest are finding that venue to have the best general buyers&#039; selection.</font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">The mentality created by dealers, that virtually everything except that which they sell, is &quot;junk Silver&quot;, has created some great buys for those knowing long term consumer wants. </font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">You would currently be selling into a depressed market for &quot;niche items&quot;, and I personally would offer your lot at an opening price which might net that which you desire. If you use a singular picture with a quality &quot;no B.S.&quot; description, you may interest the elusive buyer with desires similar to yours. </font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">If you don&#039;t locate that &quot;specialty buyer&quot;, your costs are nothing other than your time allocated to acquiring a &quot;real world&quot; education. You can repeatedly offer your lot at incrementally reduced prices, for virtually no cost on eBay.</font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">It probably should be remembered that &quot;collectors&quot; generally are not good &quot;investors&quot;, often buying items of which the general public would have little interest. I still have 20 beautiful 30+ year old Silver commemoratives in their individual velvet lined cases, and 10 1950D &quot;full step&quot; nickels, which can hardly be sold for their initial purchase price. They are kept to remind me of the impractical habits of collectors.</font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">I personally agree with the majority posts seen here, estimating a lower sales figure than you&#039;d like. I&#039;ve been wrong before, and wish you &quot;good luck&quot; in your venture to locate the &quot;real value&quot;.</font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial">Rich :thumb:</font></b></p><p><b><font face="Arial"></font></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
