[QUOTE="olero, post: 2218589, member: 75504"]If you try to sell at some auction house you would have to pay at least 10% commission.

One could could rent space all at a flea market and spend all day and not sell anything. An other option is to try to sell on a forum like here. But, how are you going to know who you are dealing with. And what is your options if the deal goes south. Like Rick on "Pawn Stars" says you can rent a building and hire some employees and pay taxes then sell it yourself. I think one has to decide if you are a dealer or a collector. As a collector I have to be very picky what I buy because I am going to have it for a very long time. But as a dealer I am going to have expect some expenses. I think Ebay and Paypal is still a good bargain. So lets enjoy our hobby for what it is "a hobby" and quit buying junk just to the sake of buying.[/QUOTE]
