Message:: [QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 8306015, member: 44316"]The work in finding a retail buyer for coins like that is great. Who would do the work to sell that stuff "retail"? You? eBay awaits. Most dealers do not have customers who want loads of essentially uncollectible stuff. Hoarders want to do their own hoarding, not pay above 1 cent for a wheat cent. So any dealer is thinking "Can I flip it for more?" I doubt any dealer is expecting to sell it retail (Who buys what you have retail? Did you?). I hope you enjoyed assembling it. That is where the most of the value lies--your past enjoyment. CT has a large group of potential buyers. Describe it well, add some photos, and try selling it on the "For sale" forum. If you get bites, I bet they are wondering if they can flip it at a profit. Almost no one wants that stuff for what it is. They want it for potential profit. That's why "retail" is close to meaningless because everyone realizes they can't make a profit if they buy it at retail. If you can get $1000 for $3000 "retail" of low-value stuff I think you should be very happy that the burden of possession of that stuff has become someone else's problem.[/QUOTE]
