How to sell my LOTR collection on Ebay
« on: February 01, 2009, 06:00:46 PM »
I'm planning on selling my LOTR collection on Ebay, and I'm wondering what the best way to do this is.  I have 1100 rares from the first 7 sets, 93 promo cards (not counting starter premiums), and 179 foils.  Should I list everything together in one auction, or should I sell the promos and foils individually or in lots?  Attached is an Excel spreadsheet with my list of cards.

Thanks,
Daniel

Cant honestly say mate really depends. But one piece of advice i will give you is selling all that at once will not get the price its worth. Bulk deals are expected to be a bargain for the buyer and know1 wants to fork out a huge lump sum so its quicker but less efficient money wise for you. The smaller you break things down, yes its more work but you get more per individual card usually. But it does mean you might not sell some fo the crapper cards.

Who am I to give you advice, but if you have really rare cards, if you know the rarity, or just get informed, just sort them out and sell them seperately, like if you have masterwork foils from Rise of saruman or so. you never will receive full worth, when you sell for example over 100 rares from the last three sets, cause only very few people have money in those higher regions for trading cards. It is just a hint for you mate  :up:
