I would respectfully disagree. Some dealers might be in the business of buying as low as possible while others are in the business of buying on set margins. Also with a dealer you get 'cash now' rather than waiting months for payment.

Don't sell to a dealer! Unless you don't want to get paid what your cards are worth. I would only consider this option if I really wanted the cash immediately, and didn't have time to wait for payment.

I would probably consign to PWCC or Probstein - they just list your stuff on ebay and sell it, it takes pretty much zero effort on your end, and you get market value for your stuff - less a fee of ~10% or so, which is very reasonable.

Joe's Vintage Sports Cards is a great dealer to work with in my experience.
