<p>[QUOTE="tradernick, post: 2494177, member: 648"]Here's my 2c. Selling coins on ebay is the best way to get the most for them. But there's a lot of stuff that goes along with that. Listing, photos, answering emails, fees, time, time, and more time. Then shipping, time at the post office waiting inline. And there's always the chance the item will be lost or stolen and ebay does NOT have your back, despite what they say. Luckily it doesn't happen too often but it does happen. </p><p>Local coin shops can be a great friend and source of info, as well as a place to sell to. I think generally speaking (and this is a sweeping generalization) coin shops are honest since they want to be there in years to come. Of course there's bad ones too, but normally the established shops will give you a fair price. It helps to know them and/or have a good relationship with them. </p><p>Coin shows can be a great place to sell too but you need to know exactly what you have and what you want for it. The benefit to a show is having a variety of dealers (and material) in one spot.</p><p>Regardless of where you sell, you most likely aren't going to get the ebay price anywhere other than ebay. Heritage is good for high end coins but it takes forever to get paid...they want the coin well in advance of the auction so it can be photo'd and cataloged, then they pay 45 days after the auction. So if you can wait 3-4 months or longer that's an option too.</p><p>Hope this helps <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Even though I'm not here every day, I'm always just an email away if anyone needs help or advise.</p><p>Nick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
