Anything under 500.00 should go to Ebay. Anything over should go to the auction company you feel best with. Commissions range from 0 to 20%. The more you consign the more you save. If you were to break up your cards they might do better, but a lot more hassle. If put in a group the price might not fetch you as much... But it's fun to watch and guestimate! |

REA has done a wonderful job for me. Call and discuss the items you have. They will make suggestions and make the process easy. |

Any of the auction companies on Net54's rotating banners are excellent to deal with. I highly recommend them. We only let the best advertise.....and some are not allowed anymore.... .....good luck with your stuff !! |

Auction houses are also helpful because there is a far less chance of fraud. |

They are fantastic to sell with. Mastro acts as though they are doing you a favor by taking your call (and this was for a $3,500 item). REA on the otherhand were professional and considerate. |

Robert's auctions are first rate but he does only have one a year. Ebay is 365 days a year. That could have some effect on your decision. What is your time frame? |

Be careful with which auction company you go with. You want to deal with one who can best describe your items and who has the best buyers list for those kind of items. I would NOT say every banner ad will give you the same results. Most auction companies normally have an area of expertise. The BIG ones do a GREAT job all the way around. So be careful with the smaller auction companies that are not known for your kind of consignments. I'm sure the banners advertisers are good, just make sure you know what they are good at before consigning... |

Thanks for your input. I am in no hurry to sell. But, I have noticed the ebay vintage card market plateau in prices. I do not see the leaps and bounds appreciation like couple years ago. I am thinking about expanding my business in the next year or two, wife would rather see me sell my cards over get a loan. |

IMHO, I've been doing the same thing recently (debating taking out Loan or selling Cards) The rate of appreciation on most of these cards seem to be better than the interest rate of ANY loan I can get BUT... you'll always be a collector no matter what, it really depends on whether you want to have no cards but own everything outright OR have cards but be in debt.... |
