Question about selling baseballs

[isaac2004]

Thank you all for the thoughts, I figured that I had mostly commodity stuff.


Would it make more sense to sell it as a "club lot" and list it at some auction houses?

I have seen that lot (500 HR club) go for over 3k on some auctions.

Stop dreaming just sell what you have for a fair price. I thought everything you owned was JSA certed.Or are you just selling what you want to get rid of?

If you really want to sell them, list 5 per week at 9.99.with 7.99 priority shipping. You will be able to send them with tracking through e-bay. The more expensive ones, take pictures of at least 4 panels and give good descriptions of everything. Build up a rep of sending the items the day their paid. E-bay will get you for about 15-20% when it's all done. Some you'll get beat on and some you won't. It should all average out.

The things working against you is the 0 feedback and the lack of good pics. For the most value, take close up shots of the ball, front & back. Like this:
Good Luck

I am looking to specialize my collection, and I am going to sell these balls eventually, so might as well do it now

Believe me, you will have to be patient while selling on ebay. Took me a month to sell this Jeter ball at the price I want, but eventually someone bought it. Don't be surprise people message you with low ball offers.

A couple of notes.

#1 Buy some things on ebay cheap items etc just to get a couple feedback. A lot of 0 accounts are straight scams so people are EXTRA wary.

#2 In my experience most are filtering for lowest starting price which will result in not many seeing your listing at all.

#3 Here is a tip, filter for lowest first in your format and price $1 below the lowest available for an exact match item. This will cause people to find your listing more frequently and for third party engines to feature your ball as well.

If you list at .99 you will have little to no risk of getting a terrible price although I would doubt you would get the high retail number you are looking for. Maybe consider consignment if you have several thousand in high demand balls. Shop around anyone with A TRS or TRSP account will usually do better than a low FB account
