Auction House vs. eBay vs. Net 54 BST

[deadballera]

the economy is really hitting some of us harder than others. I have been trying to sell off some of my collection over the last 6 months or so and will continue to do so.

looking for some insight and opinions from board members...

what is the best place to sell cards that are tough to find ?

T206 Broadleafs ?
Miscuts ? Ghosts ?

Don't know yet of what I will sell just yet...hoping my wife finds a job soon. It's been almost two years.

Regards

Todd

Huggins and Scott seems to fetch top dollar for rare cards. This is just my opinion from looking at their realized prices.

Prices are nice, but they charge a sellers fee as well (unless you can negotiate to have it waived - I have not tried, by the way, but assume you could if the material is rare and meshes well with other items they have).

I tend to prefer Goodwin, although you may have to wait a while to get paid. He will submit to SGC or PSA for free (again, depending on items).

Auction House, Bill G. and REA come to mind....

Why not try the B/S/T? It's free and you can ask whatever you want. It's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually it's better than sliced bread, I don't know what all the hub bub about sliced bread is anyway.

Agree with Tony. Wouldn't hurt to try BST first. Then if no interest try an auction house.

When you're selling T206 BL's and ghosts, you'll get the best visibility and best chance for crazy money thru one of the catalogue auction houses. As others have noted, you need to negotiate your commish up front. The next question is which one as they all have their shady past/present/future depending on who gets deposed or outed next.
