Help with Best Way to Sell Complete Sets???

[hcv123]

Bottom line - to get the most $$$ you are going to need to invest the most time. Any 1 of 1 highest graded cards definitely should be auctioned (Be it ebay or private house) (If the balance are to be sold as sets - these cards could be replaced with lesser grade).
Your most time efficient (will not be maximizing your $$$ - unless possibly you calculate in the value of your time) method is to find a dealer or collector willing to buy the set(s) outright - it will be at some % of retail. A higher demand set should get you a higher % of retail. You could as Scott suggested try listing on the BST for starters. No commissions on either side here.
Another option is consigning to an auction house - seems like the grades of your set might warrant them offering them as a set or individual option - netting you the best total. Downside to auctions is the buyers premium (most houses charge 20%) - While you should be able to negotiate a 0 consignment fee, any buyer is figuring in the 20% for the auction house when they bid.
The most time consuming but a likely way to maximize your $$$is to piece the sets out - sell via BST and Ebay individually cards that warrant it based on value and do small group lots of the rest.

Was just wondering before paying to join VCP, if they have past sales on complete sets......or is there any other means to locate what complete sets sold for.
Thanks,
