[QUOTE="World Colonial, post: 2493997, member: 78153"]It depends what you have to sell. You will get the best price by matching what you have to offer with someone who really wants it. As an example, since I don't collect any US coins and what I collect is presumably considered specialized by US collecting standards, it would be pointless for me to walk into a local dealer shop to sell what I own because they are unlikely to have any walk-in retail buyers and will only be able to auction it off or sell it to another dealer. I haven't sold anything in years but when I did, I used a combination of eBay and direct sales to collectors I know. eBay for the stuff I wanted to dump in larger quantities and direct sales for most of my better coins. The problem with eBay now is that the fees are higher and my suspicion is that the pricing environment is also weaker or much weaker for a lot or most of everything.[/QUOTE]
