Auction House vs. eBay vs. Net 54 BST

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.

I have been selling off items as well thru Ebay & the B/S/T.
I sold items on both, but tend to do well not using Ebay (to avoid fees)
but on the otherhand, some big ticket items have sold on Ebay...just ry to figure the fees in if possible or try using the Best Offer function.

After some items sitting for months on Ebay, i was just about tempted to use Greg Bussineu auction house, tho lesser advertised. They have 0 seller fee.
There deadline on consignment was yesterday for their Spring catalog.

Auction House for scarce cards (like what you listed) that the value is somewhat unknown and/or have few past transactions. You want a the chance for a bidding war. I use ebay but more work for you, do a 7 day auction with the minimum set at the lowest you are ok selling the card.

I would use the BST if you had a good idea of what you wanted for each card or they are sold multiple times each month, ie like a common T206 P 150 SGC 40 and have a pretty stable value range on VCP.

I'm sorry to hear that Todd. I hope your wife finds work soon. Things would be very difficult for my wife and I if either of us did not / could not find work. Others on Net54 can give you the insight you are searching for, I'm just offering good wishes to you and your family and that I hope things work out well for you.

Rarer/Tougher stuff = Auction House. There are many great ones out there, small-medium-Big Dog
