Hi
Apologies if this is the wrong section ::) New member !
Ive got a fairly big coin collection to sell (mostly mint sets) , I know its worth more on ebay than what I have been offered by a dealer so as I am in no rush to sell it having had it sit in a cupboard for 16 years I can wait!!
There are a few of the Kilo kookaburra (four coin) sets from early 90's though, and I know these are worth a decent amount, but of course wary of selling those sort of things on ebay. Firstly I guess I would ask , are these desired items? Another dealer recommended just to sit on them for longer but I just want it all gone this year! Any hints on the best way to go about selling these sort of sets?
The other stuff - things like Olympic Coin sets, $200 gold coins, and lots of multiples of U/c sets and proof sets I guess I can try and trickle sell through ebay - what pitfalls could I come up against doing this?
Thanks in advance for any advice for a newbie!
Dealers are an easy way to get rid of large collections.yes you will get less than eBay as that is probably where they are selling and need to cover eBay/PayPal cost and make a living out of it.
If you don't want this to happen then you are destined to the pitfall of eBay. Manon pitfal it will be time consuming and will take longer to get rid of that a dealer sale

Thanks for the reply - well I dont need the money straight away so I can put a bit of time into ebay, Im just trying to get rid of it all but get a fair price, from the bit of reading I have been doing it seems that lot of people only buy things like the Masterpieces in Silver and the $10 proofs of birds and state series etc to do 'silver stacking' would I be correct?
Try eBay with some lesser value items first to see how you go.
Do a search before listing to see recent sales of the same or similar items to get an idea of prices being obtained and success rate of listings. Also check the listing descriptions to see if some might be fetching better prices than others -wording of the description can affect search results and final price and savvy, regular sellers will already have figured out what works best.
you can also try a swap for something else that you want ,
coins , notes or even something away from coins . .
worth a thought , is there anything that you want or need .??
