Message:: [QUOTE="World Colonial, post: 2520297, member: 78153"]I know you know this but anything will sell at the right price.  It just depends upon how badly you want to sell it. If it is any consolation to you, I haven't sold anything in about six years.  But I know that if I did attempt to sell the coins I'd like to unload now, I'd lose money on them.  Not a lot absolutely but proportionately. The coins I would most like to sell are moderately priced South Africa Union.  I should have sold them back in 2010 when prices were much stronger but did not.  At the time, I still had the intent to buy back most of the more expensive coins I sold since I knew (yes knew) prices were going to decline.  I didn't want to "gut" my collection because, though the coins are much easier to buy than they were up to 2004, still not easy except directly from South Africa. Since then, I have changed my mind.  Many of the coins are far cheaper than when I sold them though the better and scarcer ones are more expensive than when I bought them.  I'll probably just complete a better type set and randomly buy "key" dates. Most of the coins I have that I'd like to sell, I'll probably just keep them because it isn't worth the bother for such minimal amounts.  The primary motive I have is to free up space because of the slabs.[/QUOTE]
