Where to sell the items individually?
Getting the best price depends on the venue chosen, e.g. don't sell autographs on a site that is heavy into
toys or vice-versa.
Do some research and find out where your type of collectors are hanging out and where they are buying.
Choices include:
-
Online Malls/Stores
It takes some work loading your descriptions, pictures and general set-up. But you get to come up with the price wanted and although someone might ask for a better deal, you still decide the final price. -
Online Auctions
Here's where those rare items can pay off. Can you say Bidding War? It's what all sellers dream of and can happen if your stuff is in excellent condition and hard-to-find. eBay is what everyone thinks of first, but there are many other auction options, check the list. -
Collector Clubs
Many collector clubs have bulletin boards and/or publications to list your items and sell to other collectors. This is great way to sell stuff if the club has an active roster and you have those sought after goodies. -
Classified Ads
Weekly/monthly collector publications offer classified ads. It wasn't too long ago that this was the only way to find that elusive item across the country. Unfortunately many of them do not have the circulation of a few years ago, but keep in mind that there is still a large percentage of collectors who do not shop online and publications are their only source of information.

eBay Drop Off Stores
Find a drop-off business that specializes in selling your stuff for you online.
The downside: Not all stores will know about your items and you might need to do a little hand-holding to be sure descriptions are correct and categories are the best fit. Commissions can be costly.
