Do you sell your relics? I'm not talking about the silver gold and coins, . . . . . . . but the interesting finds you come across. And if you do, who do you sell to? Collectors? Antique dealers? I've come across alot of interesting relics from some old farm land I've been working. ( Like an old large tooth crosscut saw thats 48 3/4s inches long, and small metal pieces with ornate designs, etc. ) Who could I sell these to?

You might try trading them here. What kind of stuff have you found?

Personally, I would place them on Craigslist, along with pictures. Most people consider stuff like that as worthless junk, takes the right person to come along and buy. I know, because I try and sell stuff like this in garage sales, and can't move it even with a "free" sign.

In the UK we sell to buyers in the US. So why you can't find a buyer is strange. Perhaps guys from the US think they are getting a better deal from the UK? Or perhaps its simply the fact that the UK has a longer history? Who knows... In any case, if you have junk to sell, as the other guy said, stick it on craigslist, full of dumb buyers and your sure to get lucky!!

Try putting them on ebay. Some people go nuts over the stuff we find.

Agreed with ebay. Put your finds into small lots and give a little background as to where it was found. People will view it as treasure (even if it is junk!) and often bid it to the moon.
