<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cannoncoins, post: 1072372, member: 28659&quot;]I think that&#039;s a fair point; a real cost-to-benefit question you have to weigh with any large collection. Yes, you will absolutely make more money selling your coins on ebay, but with the time to post a large collection (and a typical decrease in sale price with coins sold in lots) often means that if you pay yourself a hypothetical minimum wage you&#039;re going to come out negative- remember, your leisure time is valuable too! For relatively small lots, I have found craigslist to be a decent place to meet other collectors, but only if you already know your stuff. For every 1 honest collector I probably communicate with 10 people trying to indiscriminately buy for far less than melt value at a low enough price that THEY can then sell to a dealer for a profit; a real scourge of rural areas. On items that typically sell for less than 3 or 4 dollars, an honest gray-sheet toting dealer is typically your best bet, but in ANY of these scenarios you should arm yourself with as much information as possible, with the most valuable information coming from experienced collectors who are NOT interested in buying your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
